Information Cecilia P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any special needs, or personality traits that I need to look for. I want to make sure they are as comfortable and happy as I can get them to be.

A typical day

Dogs - Depending on their personality and age, I will play with them in my fenced in backyard with their favorite toy or ball. I love to play hide and seek with the blankets and get them to find me and chase me around the house for exercise. Only when permitted I will take them to a dog park. If dog park not allowed, I can take them to a school after 3pm when the kids are gone and play with them in the fenced in fields some schools have. I have a treadmill for those that are used to using one and or like it. I love to cuddle and massage them when we are lounging around. Oh, and of course some baby talk to let them know how happy I am to spend time with them. Cats - Depending on their personality, I like to exercise them by having them chase a toy tied to a string around the house, and up and down the hallways. I also love to brush them, sing to them, and read to them. The cats pretty much tell me what to do and how to do it. And I listen!

Pet care experience

* Right now I can only accept dogs that are excellent with cats, doesn’t chase or show much interest in them. I have a senior cat that can’t protect herself by running away. Thanks! I am very respectful, quiet, and patient. Traits that dogs and cats seem to love! I have a huge soft spot for seniors. I love their energy and have a lot of respect for them. I am also a self proclaimed “Crazy Cat Lady”. I absolutely love cats and I have a very deep respect and connection with them. I love being around animals. I will get depressed if I don't fulfill my daily life with them. I have 5 years experience working at a veterinary hospital when I was in my 20's. I gained lots of knowledge and experience with pet medical care while I worked there. I assisted with surgeries, gave vaccinations, nail trims, and administered oral and injectable medications. I specialize in seniors. I have a deep love and respect for seniors. I love to massage, sing to and spend quality time with cats and dogs of all ages. I currently have a blind dog, and he has made me somewhat of an expert with blind or disabled pets. I learned to be hyper aware and sensitive to their needs on a whole different level. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up I had not only a dog and cat, but also rats, birds, hamsters, ferrets, fish finatic, turtles, snakes and rabbits! I loved each and every one of them.

Cecilia was incredibly attentive to our two boys. Our dogs take topical and oral medications which Cecilia was able to administer. I felt comfortable leaving them with her for a weekend trip and she made sure to send me updates throughout the day. Will definitely rebook her for other trips!

Celia was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She was incredibly considerate and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our dogs. She treated them like her own, paid close attention to their needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, which says everything. We would happily book Celia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

I think the most important thing about pet sitting service is if the sitter can provide a peace of mind to the owners when they are away. And you did exactly that! We truly appreciate you and all you did for the dogs.

Cecilia was amazing! She came to the rescue when our original sitter had to cancel literally the day before drop off. This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous leaving our dog and cat with someone new for an entire week, but meeting Cecilia immediately put as at ease. She was so warm, kind, and flexible with our drop off time. It was immediately evident they'd be in good hands and our Calvin even bonded a bit with one of her cats. Getting photos/videos everyday was super nice and we could tell they were very comfortable. She updated us on how they were doing everyday (Calvin didn't eat much the first couple days, but settled in). It was a great experience and if we need to use Rover in the future, we'll definitely be hoping Cecilia is available again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
