Reviews
We had Chelsie care for our 2 dogs and new puppies and she exceeded all of what we had asked/needed. She cared for our dogs as though they were her own! Gave attention, made sure their space was clean, went above and beyond when one of the dogs got into something sticky. She was very responsive and great communication with us. We had a lot going on having the new puppies and gone for 4 days but she made it smooth and easy on us. Thank you Chelsie!

Safety, trust & environment
As a dedicated dog walker and drop-in pet care provider, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet I care for. Here's my approach: 1. Initial Hellos and Sniffs: I prefer to start with a meet-and-greet to understand the pet's personality, routines, and any special needs or instructions from the owner. 2. Customized Care Plan: Based on the owner's requirements and the pet's needs, I develop a tailored plan for walks or drop-in visits, including preferred routes, duration, and any specific activities. 3. Safety-First Approach: - I make sure sturdy, well-fitted leashes and harnesses are used for walks. - I'm always alert to our surroundings, watching for potential hazards or distractions. - I avoid dog parks and opt for safer, controlled environments like quiet streets or open fields. 4. Engaging Walks: - I focus on one-on-one attention, making each walk stimulating and enjoyable. - I adapt the pace and distance to suit the pet's energy level and physical condition. - I incorporate brief training moments to reinforce good behavior. 5. Enriching Drop-in Visits: - I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation. - I ensure fresh water is always available and administer food or medication if required. - I can engage in indoor play or short outdoor activities in a secure area. 6. Consistent Communication: I keep owners informed with updates, photos, or videos after each visit, ensuring peace of mind. 7. Respect for Home and Privacy: During drop-ins, I follow all house rules and respect the owner's privacy and property. 8. Adaptability: I'm prepared to adjust plans based on weather conditions or the pet's mood, always prioritizing their comfort and safety. 9. Emergency Preparedness: I'm always ready to handle unexpected situations, with knowledge of local vet clinics and emergency protocols in place. 10. Genuine Care and Attention: Above all, I provide loving attention, ensuring each pet feels special and cherished during our time together. My goal is to provide safe, engaging, and personalized care that leaves both pets and owners happy and satisfied.

Allergies, etc? • How well-trained is your pet, especially when it comes to walking on a leash? • How does your dog typically react to new people? • What's your pup's energy level like - couch potato, weekend warrior, or lotsa energy? • Does your dog have a favorite toy or game they love to play? • Is there anything that makes your dog anxious or uncomfortable that I should avoid?

A typical day
During our time together, I focus on fun, engaging activities tailored to each pet's personality and energy level: 1. Interactive Walks: Exploring new routes, incorporating brief training moments, and playing "find it" games. 2. Outdoor Play: Fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek in open fields. 3. Mental Stimulation: Puzzle toys, simple tricks, and scent games to keep their minds active. 4. Relaxation Time: Gentle petting and quiet companionship for less active pets. 5. Indoor Activities: Interactive toy play and gentle obstacle courses during drop-in visits. Safety and awareness is always my top priority, and I adjust activities based on each pet's needs and owner guidelines. My goal is to ensure every pet has an enjoyable, enriching experience that leaves them happy and excited for our next session.

As the owner of a graphic design business and a devoted dog parent, I've created a flexible weekday routine that intentionally blends my work, pet care services, and time with my own pup. My day typically starts and ends with caring for my dog, including walks and playtime. This daily routine keeps me aware of her needs and energy levels, which directly benefits the other pets I care for professionally. During the workweek (Monday to Friday), I've structured my schedule to include breaks for dog walking or pet check-ins. These breaks not only serve the pets I care for but also provide a refreshing pause from my design work, which ends up boosting my creativity and productivity. My flexible hours allow me to accommodate various client needs, whether it's early morning walks, midday visits, or evening play sessions. I can typically adjust my schedule for any urgent requests or last-minute changes, ensuring reliable pet care throughout the week if needed. Having my own dog has deepened my understanding of pet behavior and needs. The experience of prioritizing her activity needs and managing daily care has enhanced my ability to provide attentive, knowledgeable care to my clients' pets. Pet care isn't just a service I offer – it's an integral part of my weekly routine. It keeps me active, connected with nature, and provides a perfect complement to my design work. I take pride in offering the same level of care and attention to my clients' pets as I do to my own furry companion.
