About Chelsea

I have extensive hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own dog, Maggie, and my cat, Pancake, and a history of adopting and owning mostly senior dogs and cats for years. Caring for them has given me a deep understanding of the day-to-day needs including administering basic medications, managing vet visits, and responding calmly to unexpected situations. Additionally, I worked in sales at The Natural Pet Center in Gardiner, NY where I gained even more experience in holistic animal health. I'm attentive to animals' personalities and routines and understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for their wellbeing. I'm comfortable with leash walking, crate routines, overnight care, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it's daily check-ins, extended care, or helping maintain routines while owners are traveling, I bring reliability, care, and genuine affection to every situation.
