Highly Experienced & Passionate 🐾
Pet care experience
I've had many animals my whole life. All I've ever wanted to do is work with and help animals and educate the public on animal welfare. My mom is a groomer, trainer, vet tech, and runs a rescue, so I grew up in vet clinics, grooming salons and rescues learning the ins and outs of animals from a young age. I went to school for Vet Assistant and Ecology. I worked at the Humane Society for 7 years and a grooming salon, and currently a manager at the municipal animal shelter. I also volunteer at the zoo with the carnivores and primates. I am well-trained in giving medications (oral, topical, and injections) and am comfortable with a majority of medical conditions. I know signs of stress and illness. I practice positive reinforcement training. I'm experienced with all animals from neonates to senoirs, small to large, lazy to high energy, etc. I'm also highly expericed with felines and available for any cat-sitting needs. And I'm more than willing to care for any other animals you have- reptiles, small mammals, birds, etc. I have many regular pet-sitting and dog-walking clients who trust me with their fur babies and their home. I would love to meet and care for your pet(s). Please reach out if you have any questions.
Reviews
Chelcie is amazing! She is so good with our kitties and dog and they love her! She always make sure they are well loved and we love the pics she sends!
Chelcie was great with our kitties! She sent lots of pics and detailed updates which we loved and gave the kitties all the attention they needed. We already have her booked again!
Chelcie was so attentive to our Dogs! She kept in touch with us and let us know they were loved and happy while we were away.
Chelcie is an amazing walker, it is easy to tell she cares for our (and all) animals greatly, and she goes out of her way to make sure they get the care they need.

Safety, trust & environment
I want animals to be able to stay in their home where they are most comfortable! I’ll stick to their normal schedule and make sure they’re cared for, loved, and enriched while their humans are away :)
Information Chelcie B. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know any special characteristics (energy level, pet peeves, favorites, medical needs) to better care for his/her needs. Are they spayed/neutered and current on vaccines? Are they house broken, crate trained and/or leash trained? How do they respond to new people coming into the home? (I'd prefer to do a meet prior to booking)
A typical day
Depending on their preference, we will go on regular walks or plenty of playtime in the back yard. For days I’m at work, I like to prep enrichment items like peanut butter kongs or special toys to keep them enriched while relaxing at home.

Availability
I do work 5 days a week, generally 9 to 10 hours a day, but I have a decent lunch break for midday check-ins and potty breaks. I also have friends and co-workers who also pet-sit and could act as back-ups / fill in anytime I’m not available :)
