The “fun aunt” of pet sitting!

Pet care experience

I’ve got experience with pups of all personalities! From chihuahuas to pitties, I love them all. I have seen every episode of de Dog Whisperer, however I’m aware it doesn’t necessarily make me an expert in animal psychology. I’m physically fit and would love to walk and run around with your doggy companions! I have degrees in music (cello) and would be delighted to entertain your pets while you’re away. I also do weddings and parties, if you have one of those coming up. I have loads of experience with cats, as well. I’ve cared for diabetic cats and am very comfortable with injections. My only pet right now is my cat, Bert, who has special needs. All of his needs are met happily by me! If any of this sounds good to you, please give me a ring. I’m completely open for scheduling, so message me and we can set up a meeting! A history of the Swanson Family pets: Dagney (Husky mix), Brit (Britney spaniel), Gus (Boston Terrier), Joey & Franklin (cavalier King Charles spaniel), Moeby (Yorkie/Maltese), Henry (chihuahua/jack Russell), Gracie (catahoula leopard hound/pitbull), and Norman (Irish setter/retriever/chow). I also had a bird, Harpo, a hamster, Paul Daniel, and a cat, Lucy.

Cecelia is the absolute best!! The most straightforward and easy experience we have had with booking a pet sitter. She was able to get my VERY nervy cat to eat and even come out for affection during her visits. She sent thorough updates and photos with every visit and was incredibly responsive. I can’t recommend enough!

Cecelia did a great job of taking care of our dogs. We were gone for 4 days and she stayed at our home with them. She sent pictures while they were out and walks and a video of them playing in the yard. Its always tough leaving your pets but I would definitely have her house/dog sit for us again in the future knowing they are in good hands.

Cecelia is an excellent communicator - I needed her on short notice and my schedule was a bit complex. She rolled with everything. My dog has challenges and Cecelia kept him safe, cleaned a mess and too it all in stride. The cat loved Cecelia. Thank you! Would call on Cecelia in a heart beat ♥️

Cecelia is such a calming presence around my doggo! It's immediately apparent that she has spent a lifetime around dogs as they are drawn to her and listen to her well. As someone who loves Minnesota summertime, I can be sure that Cecelia will return my dog happy and tired after long walks around the lakes. Thanks for all that you do, Cecelia!
