🐶 Heartfelt & Reliable Dog Lover

Hi there! My name is Cecilia, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is one of the greatest joys in my life. I have two beloved dogs back in my hometown: a sweet 15-and-a-half-year-old poodle–bichon mix and a 6-year-old goldendoodle with disabilities. They mean the world to me, and being away from them has only deepened my passion for caring for other people’s furry family members. Last summer, I had the privilege of working at a luxury dog boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and unique needs—including those requiring extra patience and special attention. I was trained to read canine body language and behavior, and I learned how to adapt my approach to help each dog—whether a bouncy puppy or a wise senior—feel safe, calm, and emotionally and physically fulfilled. Animals hold a truly special place in my heart. I’m the type of person who pulls over to help a turtle cross the road, stops to meet a cute dog on the sidewalk, or sits with a stray cat to make sure it’s fed. Every animal encounter matters to me. I believe animals are so much more than companions—they’re a vital part of our lives. Their unique personalities and deep bonds bring joy, purpose, and connection, and I feel genuinely honored every time I get to spend time with them. Whether your pup needs a gentle, attentive sitter, an energetic walking buddy, or just someone to love on them like their own family would—I’m here, and I can’t wait to meet them!

I want your dog to feel like they’re with family while in my care, and I’m fully committed to respecting both their routines and your home. You can also count on regular updates and plenty of photos, so you feel connected and reassured every step of the way.

I absolutely loved my booking with Cecilia. As someone who’s afraid to leave their fury behind with anyone in general… Cecilia made me feel comfortable, she checked with me and sent me cute photos to show my babies were all good being taken care of! She was super diligent and efficient with her time at my place. She cared for my kitties and I definitely would rebook again with Cecilia!

Cecilia was absolutely great! She communicated well and asked about the dogs habits and needs before she went to visit so she knew about any special needs. She also sent a ton of pictures which was very much appreciated. I live that she spent so much time with our pets and made sure they weren't lonely or bored.

I cannot speak highly enough of Cecilia’s incredible care of my 17-year-old Yorkie, Cooper, while I was away in the Bahamas in 2025. Leaving an elderly dog behind is never easy, but Cecilia gave me complete peace of mind every single day. From the start, she went above and beyond—hand-feeding Cooper his homemade meals with patience and love, and making sure he stayed engaged through enrichment activities like snuffle mats that kept his mind active and tail wagging. She followed all my detailed instructions to a T, which is no small feat considering Cooper’s age, pickiness, and special routines. Cecilia struck the perfect balance between keeping Cooper active and making sure he stayed comfortable. He got plenty of movement and attention, without ever being pushed beyond his limits. As a bonus, she also house-sat during my trip and—believe it or not—caught a mouse! It’s hard to find someone you can trust not only with your beloved pet but also with your home, and Cecilia exceeded all expectations on both fronts. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I would recommend Cecilia in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a truly compassionate, capable, and attentive caretaker.

Cecilia is truly a gem when it comes to pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her in action during her time at The Emerald Paw Pet Resort, where she consistently went above and beyond for every pup in her care. She treats each dog like they’re her own — with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, Cecilia brings a level of dedication that’s hard to find. You can absolutely trust her with your furry family member — they’ll be in loving and capable hands!

Cecilia was an incredible asset to our team at The Emerald Paw Pet Resort. From the moment she started, she brought warmth, reliability, and a deep compassion for every dog in our care. Her calm and nurturing presence helped even our most nervous pups feel comfortable and safe. Cecilia consistently went above and beyond, whether it was managing group play sessions with attentiveness and care, keeping our facility clean and organized, or noticing the small things that make a big difference in each dog’s day. She was dependable, hardworking, and always willing to step in and support her teammates. Her passion for animals truly shined through in everything she did, and her dedication never went unnoticed by our Management Team or our Clients. We’re grateful for the time she spent with us and know she’ll continue to make a positive impact wherever she goes. Any team would be lucky to have someone as thoughtful, responsible, and kind-hearted as Cecilia ❤️. - Jenny ☘️ Owner ~ The Emerald Paw Pet Resort and Salon.

Before your pup is in my care, I’d love to know about their specific needs—any medications, health conditions, favorite activities, personality traits, and their daily routine. Having a clear, well-rounded understanding of your dog helps me provide the best possible care and ensures they feel safe, happy, and right at home with me.
