Information Chelsey P. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I like to learn a bit about your pet so I can create a calm, comfortable experience for them. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, energy level, and temperament, how they respond to normal household sounds or people moving around, and any barking or vocalization tendencies (for dogs) or nighttime activity (for cats). Please also share walk behavior or litter box habits, any medical needs or dietary sensitivities, and what helps your pet feel most safe and at ease.

A typical day

With cats, I offer gentle play and enrichment, rotating toys and engaging them in short play sessions to keep things interesting. With dogs, I enjoy relaxed games of fetch in my fenced backyard, daily neighborhood walks, and, if you’re comfortable with car rides, peaceful outings to nearby trails for mental stimulation and fresh air. I always follow your pet’s energy level and prioritize calm, positive experiences.

Calm, Loving Care for Gentle Pets

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Chelsey — an interior designer by day with a lifelong soft spot for animals. If I hadn’t found my calling in design, I truly believe I would have pursued veterinary medicine. Animals have always been part of my world. I grew up around both cats and dogs and have over 15 years of experience pet-sitting for friends, family, and clients. My home is a very calm, grounded space, so I’m best suited for low to moderate-energy pets who enjoy a slower pace, gentle walks, and lots of presence. My puppy Nova plays well with other dogs and I'd love to have friends over for her during the day as I work from home with a close eye! Spending time with animals feels genuinely nourishing to me, and caring for yours would be something I do with a lot of intention and love. Because my home has carpet and an Airbnb guest suite above me, I’m best matched with pets who are past the puppy stage to teach mine good manners lol, are house-trained, and not prone to frequent barking — especially in response to normal household sounds like people walking. Creating a peaceful environment is important to me and helps pets feel relaxed and secure while they’re here. I enjoy walking in all seasons, maintaining consistent routines, and creating a space where animals feel safe, calm, and cared for. While you’re away, you can rest easy knowing your pet will be treated as if they’re my own. Caring for your animal would truly be my pleasure 🤍 — Chelsey

Chelsey was so amazing! My dog Leah is particular about people, and tried to intimidate her at first but Chelsey took it in stride. I got pictures and updates about Leah everyday, which definitely decreased my anxiety about leaving her for so long. So happy to have someone I can trust with Leah. I will definitely be contacting Chelsey again if I need a sitter! ?

Chelsey was great and pretty flexible since I was out of state. I never had the chance to meet ahead of time because of my schedule, but I couldn’t be happier with how she treated me and my cat! Chelsey sent me nice updates and plenty of pictures over the week, which was especially nice over the holidays. I would absolutely book with her again!
