I am currently working a hybrid schedule, often from home and get to all day at home when I am taking care of pets. I tend to go on at least one hike a week. I love exploring new areas in Santa Cruz.

Information ceili c. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any medical needs your pup may have. I also would love to know your typical schedule with them and what your dog would prefer. I have some experience with reactivity and would like to know beforehand if your pup has any reactivity!

A typical day

During the work week, I love to go on a morning walk to get the legs moving. During lunch I love to get active, going for runs if I am up to it. During the evenings I like to go on long walks before dinner. On the weekends I love to go for a hike or a walk on West Cliff.

Experienced dog sitter in the area!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. I currently volunteer with the SPCA, where I help care for and support dogs in need. I’ve also fostered dogs through the SPCA, giving them a safe, loving home while they wait for their forever families. In addition to volunteering, I’ve worked as a trusted dog sitter and walker for families in the area. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or hosting dogs in my home while their families are away, I make sure every pup feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks. I’m happy to share as many updates as you’d like throughout the day, complete with photos and stories from our adventures! Whether we’re exploring local trails, enjoying playtime, or just relaxing at home, your dog will receive attentive, reliable, and affectionate care. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🐾

Ceili took such good care of my dog while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and what they were doing throughout each day. She even took her to the dog park and to get a pup cup. My dog is very anxious, but seemed really comfortable around here. 10/10 would recommend her and use her again!

Ceili was so amazing with my pup, Moose! She was great understanding his barking reactivity and was sweet and slow, letting him get used to her. Ended up with him in her lap - she won his heart ❤️. She had great communication before and during the visits (sent lots of photos and checked in about things). I would absolutely recommend her for any pet care!!

Ceili is truly an animal lover! She has loved animals (all types, but perhaps especially dogs and horses) since she was a kid and it is not just an appreciation for their cuteness, but a real passion and empathy. For example, she regularly puts her own time and energy into volunteering for organizations that are working for the welfare of animals. She helps friends with pets. She is always looking for ways to help make sure great strays find loving homes. As a pet sitter, she is responsible and does what she says she will do, but also does it lovingly and with that extra attention and caring that any pet own would want for their pet. Your pet will be lucky to have her while you are away!
