Chelsea started with Augusta October 2011. She works as a daycare provider and as guest services. Chelsea just moved back to MN from Michigan in order too be closer to her father. She has owned many dogs growing up, and currently owns a Lab, Jack Russell Terrier mix named Megatron or Tron for short. Chelsea plans to one day make a career of working and advocating on behalf of our four legged friends.

Alissa - I have always had a genuine love for animals and understanding of their psychology which allows me to connect with them on a deep level. I have worked at multiple dog daycare and boarding facilities where I successfully handled and cared for up to 100 dogs at once. Also, I am constantly seeking out new techniques from trainers and dog psychology professionals to enhance my ability to connect with dogs and improve their quality of life, as well as gain the personal therapeutic benefit which working with animals can provide. I currently own two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Reese and Emma, and have made significant improvements in their training and productivity. Even though I’m more of a big-dog person, I wouldn’t trade those little girls for the world! Music is another passion of mine and I spent a few years pursuing a degree in music therapy, but I am now considering a career in dog rehabilitation. In the meantime, I’d love to meet your pup at Augusta!"
