I started using Chelle as my pet sitter at the beginning of the year. My previous sitter decided to change careers and I was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacement. Chelle came by to meet the kitties and spent a lot of time with us. She left a very thorough form for me to complete and leave for her to pick up when she came to take care of my cats.
She texted me a few days before her visit and continued with daily texts to let me know how my kitties are doing. She includes pictures with some of the texts as well. Chelle always lets me know if there's something that happened (a cat getting sick) and ensures that she cleans up any messes. She accepts additional "chores" like watering plants, etc. You pay her based on the amount of time she spends at your house.
She accepts my requests for a change or tweaking how things are done without a blink. My cats love her, even the one who hides from everyone.
If you are looking for a pet sitter, Chelle is fabulous!
