About the owner, Chelsea:
Hi, I’m Chelsea... a dog lover, and yes, also a Doctor of Clinical Psychology.
My career has been built around understanding behavior, building trust, and creating safe, supportive environments. Working with dogs isn't just something I do, it's what I genuinely love. My background in psychology has given me a deep appreciation for behavior, communication, and individualized care, allowing me to recognize each dog's needs and respond with patience, consistency, and compassion. Building a meaningful bond with your dog is important to me, but so is building a relationship with you. I want you to feel just as comfortable and confident as your dog does while they're in my care.
I have always wanted a dog since I was three years old. I didn't get my first dog until I became an adult, which is when I got my Copper Bear. Growing up, my father was in the military, and we moved around a lot. Both of my parents are also dog lovers, but they always preached to me how important it is to include dogs in our family. The reason I never had a dog is that my parents emphasized how sad they would be if we went away on frequent trips, and the stress that would be on them from our consistent moves. Growing up with these values taught me the importance of treating my fur babies like my human children. I didn't get my first fur baby (Copper) until I knew I was ready to dedicate my life to them. I hope to be a safe and responsible place you can lean on when you are busy or plan to go away.

I've always championed the importance of daily walks for dogs. It's undeniably their highlight of the day. As dog walkers, I have the privilege to meet this essential need. I firmly believe our furry companions deserve to enjoy the great outdoors just as much as we do.
I operate my own personal training and massage business, which allows me flexibility throughout the day. I have ample time available when I'm not attending to clients. When scheduling dog walks, I prioritize cooler hours to ensure the comfort and safety of the furry pups. I strive to walk your dogs in familiar and comfortable areas where they feel at ease. New environments can be overwhelming for them, so my priority is ensuring they get out, stay active, and feel secure during our walks.
My fur babies:
I have an English creme Golden Retriever and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My fur babies are both extremely friendly. Copper (Cavalier King Charles) is very gentle and sweet. He is very calm and gentle and prefers to cuddle with other dogs instead of playing. He is perfect for the quiet fur babies who like to cuddle and sleep all day. Copper is more on the timid side and might get overwhelmed with dogs that like to rough play and in this case, he will run to me to cuddle.
Momoko has puppy energy and is a big extrovert. She loves anything that breathes! When meeting your fur baby, she will get very excited because she is very social and playful. After settling in, she relaxes and takes naps most of the day. The initial meeting is when she is the most excited. If your dog is not the playful type, she knows to eventually take a step back and give your fur baby space. Momoko is also a love bug and will try to kiss your fur baby and cuddle with them if they are more on the calm side. She is especially perfect for fur babies that have lots of energy and want to make new friends to play with.
