Pet care experience

Experienced Cat/Dog Home Sitter

I’m Chelsea, and I recently moved to the downtown Columbia area. I’ve taken care of an assortment of pets/ babies since I was a child. My family loved cats and as of recent I have started sitting dogs. Because I work from home several days a week and have a hybrid schedule it’s quite easy to me to watch my friends fur babies while you are out of town. I’m very detail oriented and willing to ensure your fur baby has a great time while you’re away. I know it is very stressful for the pet and parent.

Our dog Stella was so excited to see and stay with Chelsea again!! Chelsea is communicative and great to work with, and Stella clearly had fun.

Chelsea is always great to work with. She’s flexible with puck ups and drop offs and most importantly, Lilly just lives here and happily jumps into her car when it comes time to go see her. We will be back!

Chelsea is awesome! Great communication; very welcoming, Lulu had a blast with her. We even had a travel delay that made us later than expected and she was very understanding. Loved the pics and updates.

Chelsea did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Stella. Stella is normally anxious, but she was right at home with Chelsea. Stella didn't even experience diarrhea, which is common for her with any change. Chelsea was very communicative and made us feel very comfortable that Stella was well cared for. We'd recommend her to anyone!!

Safety, trust & environment

I personally do not have any pets however, I have lots of room, furniture, and windows for their entertainment. The owner would need to provide food, crate, and other needed items for their pet if needed. I have an extra food bowl, blanket, and some toys

A typical day

I am near a bunch of trails and a community that is perfect for pets. We would be able to walk the trails, get a pup cup from Starbucks, and head home. I have huge floor to ceiling windows for all pets to enjoy gazing out of. I also have dog and cat tv… via YouTube lol.
