About: I grew up with a variety of pets, and I thoroughly love all kinds of animals! My family had a dog about 19years, and we took care of him from puppy years to old age. I have my own dog, Roxy a collie mix, who I raised by myself from 4mo old and she has learned so much! I am a travel nurse so I’m not from the area and I am free any day that I’m not working! I typically do 3 - 12hr night shifts. Since I am not from the area I cannot take animals into my own place, but I am very flexible and willing to accommodate any way that is needed for you and your pet's needs.

THANK YOU for caring about our sweet Oakley so much! He is getting older and you are so sensitive to how long he should be walked in this hot weather! You make sure he stops and rests, bring him water and even a toy! We appreciate you so much! You are Oakley's favorite person! THANK YOU SARAH!

My husband and I adopted Junebug from the shelter recently and needed some help over the weekend while we were both at work. Christy met with us prior to the first visit. Junebug is timid around most people initially, but she warmed up to Christy right away! Christy came twice a day and really gave us peace of mind while we were gone at work. We received multiple pictures during their visit, which really made our day. We will definitely be booking with Christy again!

About: I have taken care of my own golden retriever for many years, and I have helped my neighbors with their dog when they go out of town. I also volunteer at SPCA shelter to take the dogs out. I have a very short part time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility this summer. I will be mainly available weekdays, but I will also be available some weekends! I have a golden retriever right now that is very dog friendly and loves walks. We would do whatever the dog needs, long walks, naps, etc.

I needed someone to walk my dog on very short notice. Kayla said she was available and within the hour she had my dog on a walk. When they returned, it was clear that my dog enjoyed her walk and was comfortable with Kayla, so now she'll be walking her twice a week for me. I'd definitely recommend her to others looking for a dog walker!

I will follow all of the rules of your home for your pet. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your home.

Skylar is very flexible with our schedule. Tilly is very happy when I get home after her walks with Skylar! Skylar was very easy to create a plan with when she first came to visit. The house is always cleaned up after Tilly's indoor playtime, too! I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Skylar!

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals, particularly dogs and cats my whole life. I've had my two rescue dogs for about 4 years and each require specific needs. Easy to say that I can adjust to whatever special need you and your dog may need. I am able to take care of any size, age, energy level, and temperament I work full time day shift on a roating schedule. I'm new to the area and looking for some extra income. I am able to be flexible with my off time and complete drop in visits during my off time. I will ask clarifying questions to assure I am aware of what you expect from me. Some of these questions will be about their food/water routine, exercise, any preferred toys/treats/walking route. I'll be sure to give your pet lots of attention and love. Picture updates are always good too 😁

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have always had a dog in my home, and this previous year I raised a puppy so I have experience with that as well. I am also good with senior dogs, as well as, dogs who are blind and/or deaf. At home, I walk my dogs daily as well as let them outside as often as they needed. I spent a lot of time playing with them and giving them lots of love. I often cat sit, and I love to spend extra time at the house playing with the cats, whether they are interested in me or couldn’t care less. I miss my dogs like crazy so I am super excited to meet your furry friends! I am a full time college student, so I have classes throughout the week. Monday’s and Tuesday’s are my busiest days, so I probably will not take jobs that land on either of those. The rest of my weekdays are pretty open, as long as your dog can go a couple hours home alone. As for the weekends, I do not have any specific time commitments. I most likely will not be able to spend all day Saturday and Sunday in your home, but if you communicate how much time your pets need I can do my best. I am happy to spend Friday and Saturday nights in your home, but I will sleep in the dorms on any school night. At home, we did not have any fence to keep our dogs in the yard. I supervise at all times when a dog is outside, and I am open to taking them out on a leash if that is what you prefer.

About: I have always grown up with pets as well as taking care of dogs and cats of family friends. I even recently took care of a bird! I have two cats and a dog of my own and I’m looking forward to providing care for your furry family members For the month of September I will be unavailable Monday-Thursday, and from October on I will be unavailable Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am a great option if you are looking for Wednesday doggy daycare, or looking for someone to watch your pet for the weekend. Please feel free to reach out even if I am marked as unavailable to see if we can work something out for you. Every pet is different so I will be sure to follow any instructions the pet owner leaves for me. I have done babysitting and pet sitting for many different people and different homes so I am used to using extra care with other peoples pets and space.

Chelsea did wonderful with my dog Ruah. I was in town for a week covering one of the hospitals, she was reliable, spent extra time, played games, and provided excellent updates. Chelsea was even able to accommodate a very last-minute second visit, which I greatly appreciate it. Would recommend without reservations!
