Chelsea joined the 9 to 5 Pets team with a strong foundation in both hospitality and hands-on pet care. She is the niece of our longtime client, Kathleen Woods, and has played an active role in caring for Kathleen and their three beloved pets — Hank (Border Collie), Ginger (Terrier), and Auggie (cat). Her bond with them runs deep, and her decision to relocate back to Florida from San Diego speaks volumes about her loyalty and heart for both family and animals.

With 16 years of experience in high-end hospitality — including service at the Ritz, Sawgrass Marriott, and Hilton Bayfront — Chelsea brings exceptional customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail to every client interaction. She understands the importance of communication, trust, and delivering a high-touch experience.

Chelsea also has extensive private pet sitting experience in both California and Nocatee. She is comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments and is experienced with overnight pet care services. Her references consistently highlight her reliability, strong communication, attentiveness, and calm presence during unexpected situations — including handling a furnace leak and even remaining steady during a tornado while caring for pets out of state.

Known for her positive attitude, resilience, patience, and problem-solving skills, Chelsea excels at staying calm in stressful situations and emergencies. She is warm, personable, professional, and deeply committed to providing attentive, loving care.

We are excited to welcome Chelsea to the 9 to 5 Pets family and know she will provide exceptional service to both our clients and their pets.

Hi, my name is Cierra! I come from a proud military family and was originally raised in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. After living in Jupiter, Florida, I recently relocated to the St. John’s area with my dad. Animals have always been a big part of my life—my family has always had pets ranging from small to large breeds, and my grandpa even served as a K9 handler for the police force.

Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, and I now have a rescue of my own—Duke, a German Shepherd–Husky mix who is truly my pride and joy. Growing up, I also spent time volunteering with an organization called Furry Friends, which deepened my love for helping animals.

Outside of pet care, I played competitive softball for years and was offered a full-ride scholarship to the University of South Florida before injuries led me to pursue a different path. Looking ahead, I plan to follow in my family’s footsteps by joining the Army in the Criminal Investigation Division to become a Special Agent.

Caring for animals has always brought me so much happiness, and I’m excited to bring that same love, attention, and dedication to your pets as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!

“More than walks. Real care, real love.”

Hi, I’m Jeanie! I live in Ponte Vedra Beach and am currently studying microbiology with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. My lifelong passion for animals has guided me every step of the way.

Growing up surrounded by animals and spending time on a farm, I learned how to provide not just the basics, but also the in-depth care animals need to thrive. From maintaining feed schedules and exercise routines to understanding immunizations and early signs of health concerns, I have developed a strong foundation in animal care that goes far beyond simple pet sitting.

While I continue my studies and pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian, I am committed to offering reliable, long-term care for the pets in our community.

For me, this is more than a dog-walking business—it’s a passion.

Every walk, every visit, and every tail wag is met with real care and real love.

Sasha comes to us with tons of private pet-sitting experience and is currently a student at Jacksonville University studying Illustration with a minor in Writing. She has two pups, Georgie and Mila, and can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
