Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost, we understand dog behaviors and prioritize safety above all else. Every dog guest wears an air tag while in our care, so we know their location at all times. Our private house features a large, fenced-in backyard which provides a safe and secure space. Kind of like their own private doggie park. Yay! With no rugs, little accidents are no big deal and are easy to clean up. Finally, the nearest 24-hour emergency vet is just a 5-minute drive away. While we’ve never had an emergency, this proximity offers a peace of mind.

I cannot say enough good things about Cece. I am extremely selective about who I trust with my dog, and I rarely leave her with anyone. Jewel stayed with Cece for nearly two weeks, and from day one, she treated her like one of her own. Jewel takes daily medication, follows a strict diet due to food allergies, and she's very nervous around other dogs. Cece took every precaution to keep her safe, made sure she received her medication, and patiently helped her become comfortable in her new environment. Jewel arrived afraid of dogs and left with a group of new friends. One of the things I appreciated most was the constant communication. Cece sent photos and videos every day, which helped ease my worries and allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing Jewel was being so well cared for. My only wish is that Cece lived closer to our home in Indiana because I would take Jewel to her regularly without hesitation. Finding someone who provides this level of care, communication, structure, and genuine love for your dog is incredibly rare. From one very selective and nervous dog mom, I can wholeheartedly recommend Cece. This was a wonderful experience for us and I am so grateful we found her.

Luna had another wonderful stay! She came home clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times, especially with our travel schedule. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it gives us peace of mind knowing Luna is in such caring hands. We will definitely continue booking again!

We had such an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make Daisy feel comfortable, loved, and happy while we were away. Thanks to Cece, Daisy came home with the cutest crochet necklace and an adorable hot pink pedicure! It was clear Daisy was treated like family the entire time. Cece communicated with me the whole time via message out video. We are so grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy. We definitely found Daisy’s home away from home! Thank you, Cece. 🙏🥰
