Highlights
Pet care experience
Comfort, safety, and FUN!
I’ve been a professional petsitter full time for nearly 7 years, and I love the opportunity to care for other people’s animals! My focus is on positive reinforcement, taking it at your pet’s pace, and communicating abundantly so you are informed and at ease. Petsitting was my first job as a kid, when I made flyers and posted them around town. I wasn’t allowed to have my own pets but figured I’d find a way to be around them! My love for animals has only grown. I have pet clients who have been with me from the start who I’ve gotten to build years of trust and care with, and I don’t take that lightly! I have additional experience with: - anxious/nervous dogs - animals - diabetic cats - parrots - cows - chickens I love to maintain training protocol and encourage your pup, and can offer some guidance on behavior & training. I have a special place in my heart for pitties! I’m a sensitive and intuitive person who will try to anticipate your pet’s needs to the best of my abilities, and give them a joyful, safe experience with me. I am also a pro photographer of 14 years and can guarantee you’ll get the best iPhone photos in the biz! Thank you for checking out my profile and I look forward to chatting with you soon!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am a huge fan of limiting any potential risks of any kind! I won't let your dog(s) off-leash except on your own enclosed property, and I tend to keep space from other dogs unless I know all of them well. I put food & any potentially yummy items away quickly. (I love pets, but I don't trust them to turn down a good snack!) I am thorough in communication, and will let you know if anything isn't quite right.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing sitter! My dogs are happy and tired, they had the best time! Cecilia is so great with my anxious pup, knew exactly how to handle every situation!
Cecilia was great. My cats obviously loved her. They were excited to see me but didn't seem stressed like in the past. House was immaculate and every instruction was followed to a T. Already booking her again.
Cecilia is wonderful! Two of our dogs are slow to warm up to new people and can be anxious and reactive to strangers, wildlife, fast cars, slow cars, and lots of other normal/scary things one encounters frequently on a walk. Oh and they also randomly stop some days and just don’t want to go very far, and they’re wimps in the rain. Cecilia has been patient, creative, and confident and we notice they’re even walking less anxious about all those things with us now :)
Cecilia had an instant connection with our puppy! They had a great walk and we will be booking again soon!
Love Cecilia and more importantly my dog loves her too. She’s extremely reliable and that’s super important to me. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her.
Cecilia is a real pro. I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs who are strong and can be reactive. She clearly has a way with all animals.

Schedule
I work full-time for myself and have flexibility to work with your schedule! It's great if I can get a flexible window to visit when I have other appointments. Pets don't always abide by human time!

- I would love to get a sense of your dog's energy level and their health needs. Anything that agitates them, anything they absolutely love! Also how food motivated they are to see how well I can use that to my advantage!
