Pet care experience

I’m quiet, patient, and attentive. If your pet needs a little extra support while you're away, I would love to hear from you. Unusual pets are always welcome! Training philosophy: Positive reinforcement Experience: 4-H Club member for seven years (fowl, small animal, livestock) Current Austin Pets Alive! volunteer Pet sitting for friends since age ten, including: -Multi-pet households -Hearing/visually impaired dogs -Pets with high emotional needs Reasons to book with me: 1. Donations: 5% of my earnings are donated to Austin Pets Alive! 2. Diversity: I have a medical condition that can make life tough, but Rover.com empowers me to succeed at what I do best. 3. Dedication: He’s not “just a dog,” he’s your best friend. I never rush a service or double-book clients.

Celena is amazing! We are convinced that she is a pet whisperer! Our dogs and cat love every time she is here. She spoils them with pets and snuggles! We trust our fur babies and our home to Celena. Highly recommend!

Celena was amazing....she took very good care of my babies when I was gone and they were very happy. I have a senior dog who needs special care and she was great with her. I would highly recommend her and I will absolutely have her back soon!

Celena is practically a dog whisperer! Anytime she comes to visit, our pups don't leave her side! She has sat for our dogs and cat several times over the last couple years. The info Celena has from her past days on a farm really helps when it comes to giving them thier medications or just general behavior. Highly recommend!

My beasts absolutely love this girl. She has always been super patient and gentle with all of my animals. You can tell she really cares about their happiness and welfare. Super knowledgeable about animal husbandry in general. Would highly recommend, especially for smaller dogs.

Information Celena H. would like to know about your pet

I am currently accepting dogs of any breed/age/spay status under 40lbs. Feel free to tell me a bit about your pet family, what you're looking for in a sitter, and any special requests you might have. Has your pet been cared for by others before? How was the experience? If your pet could speak English for ten minutes, what would you ask her or finally be able to explain? What can I do to help you and your pet feel more comfortable while you're apart?

A typical day

Here's a little secret: I like walks almost as much as your dog does! Whether your pup prefers a slow mosey around the block or hours of brisk cardio, I look for the safest routes where she'll have the most fun. I love parks, neighborhood trails, and shady spots away from main roads where your dog can smell and explore all the wonderful outside things. Our route will be tailored to your needs, and I'm happy to accommodate special requests or incorporate leash/obedience training. The more dedicated fetch fanatics will be disappointed in my throwing arm, but I can cuddle, wrestle, and play games all day long. I'm also a huge fan of “structured play,” or play that incorporates training and learning in a way that's exciting for your dog. This can be especially helpful if your pup seems restless even after being exercised, or if he's difficult to motivate with treats during training.
