About: Being a dog owner and dog lover myself, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you feel comfortable with. I will provide your pup with a loving and playful environment, including couch cuddles, walks around the neighborhood, and plenty of adventures! I can tailor our days/weekends spent to your dog’s needs. I am an experienced dog watcher and have a 7 year old French bulldog. If you book me for house-sitting, I won’t need to bring my dog with me because my husband will be with him in our home (but can if your pet wants a playmate!) My frenchie is super friendly and loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. Expect pictures/updates when you book with me! 😊 I work remotely and am available to be with your pet 24/7! 😊 My summer schedule is open. Making your dog comfortable is my top priority, so please let me know in advance your dog’s needs! I will treat your home/pet as my own and demonstrate the utmost respect while house-sitting! I can tailor my stay to fit your pet’s needs. Whether that looks like a cozy day inside, more of an active day outside, or a mix of both, I’m happy to discuss it prior to staying at your home!
“We can't say enough good things about Chelsey. She was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Gertie. It was clear from the moment we met that Gertie was comfortable and happy with her, and when we returned, it was obvious Gertie had a blast! Not only did Chelsey take incredible care of Gertie while we were out of the country, but she also left our home spotless. We truly had peace of mind knowing both our beloved pet and our house were in such capable hands. We highly recommend Chelsey and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Angelica was so attentive to Max, our 13 week Cavapoo. I got lots of photos and video throughout the weekend. He was so happy playing and snuggling with Angelica and didn’t have any accidents on the rugs. I would recommend Angelica without reservation. She left the house tidier than it was before the weekend!”
About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 8 months, taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and anything that came through those doors. I have dealt with waste, scratches (thankfully not bites). I love to get outside and move and pets are a great way to do that, however, I don’t have any of my own right now so I’m excited at the chance to walk and interact with others! I work 7am-3:30pm Saturday - Wednesday. Therefore I am free in the early afternoons and on Thursday and Friday. I love to get exercise so I will walk as long or as little as your fur baby needs. I am good at following instructions. I can not have pets where I am so I can only do at home care. With that being said, I will ensure to follow any/ everything your fur baby needs.
About: I love pups of all sizes and ages! I would love to care for your beautiful baby whether it’s providing medicine or even just extra cuddles while you’re away! I work part-time, so depending on your needs I can be available most days of the week. I have my own transportation and love of animals! I care for pets by following their regular routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, given lots of attention, and kept safe. I tailor my care based on the specific service—whether it’s pet sitting, walking, or drop-in visits—and always keep the owner updated.
About: I’m a structured yet affectionate pet parent with experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Expect reliable care, medication assistance, and regular photo/video updates of your pet! As a remote worker, I have flexible availability for overnight stays, day or night walks, and weekend care—I'm here whenever your pet needs attention and always happy to do check ins. Your pet will enjoy my beachside home with a fenced yard, though I prefer walking them on a leash for safety and exercise. My home consists of a 16yr old who is in school and sports full time.

About: I just thoroughly enjoy spending time with cats / dogs, our furry friends always have a smile on their faces and need to be loved especially when their owners are away I work from home so my schedule is flexible throughout the week and around all weekends, dropping in to spend time with your pet would be a pleasure.
