Highlights
Pet care experience
No Pet Household, 3 yrs. Experience
I have cared for animals my whole life in a variety of settings. I grew up with small, medium, and large dogs and experienced dogs at every stage of life. Since recently moving to Waco for graduate school, I have volunteered 20+ hours at the pet shelter, Pet Circle, working with shelter dogs and even fostering one dog in the short-term. I truly care about all animals and want to help them find and maintain loving and safe homes. From newborn puppies to seniors, large active dogs to small lap dogs, rescuing strays to dog sitting, working with shelter dogs to a mascot, caring for my own dogs to fostering, I have cared for dogs in nearly every setting possible. For the previous four years, I have house-sat for cat and dog households in houses and apartments. I tailor my care to each individual dog, including 30+ minute walks or runs for active dogs, tending to seniors who need oral medications and gentle care, and channeling puppy energy productively. For boarding, I currently share a house with a backyard with one roommate who is a young professional. We have no pets of our own, providing a perfect for dogs who are shy around other pets or children, or those who simply want to be the center of my attention! Caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I'd love the opportunity to lovingly care for your pets!

Ratings and reviews
Celeste took amazing care of our pets, Nero and Moose, while we were out of town. This was our first experience traveling and leaving our pets in someone else's care, so naturally we were a little nervous. Celeste immediately put us at ease with her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. Our travel schedule ended up being somewhat uncertain, and she was incredibly flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. She was so easygoing and accommodating, which made a stressful situation much easier for us. Knowing our pets were in good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. Nero and Moose were both well cared for, and it was clear that Celeste treated them with the same attention and affection she would if they were her own pets. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we visit Waco again, we will absolutely be booking with Celeste, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and high-quality pet care!
Our dog had a great extended stay with Celeste. She provided daily detailed updates with photos. She has a calm, caring demeanor that was appreciated by us and our dog. We highly recommend Celeste for your pet needs.
Celeste is always great!!
Celeste did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was out of town. She kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. I knew my girls were in good hands!
Amazing as always! She’s so informative and communicative about my puppy. I will continue to use Celeste!
Celeste took great care of my lab. Was very easy to deal with and enjoyed my dog’s company.

Schedule
As a current graduate student with a part-time job, I must leave my apartment for 2-5 hours at least once per week day. However, the flexibility of my schedule ensures that I can provide walks/potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, and evening each day. On weekends, I have more time to spend with your pet!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I share a small house in a quiet neighborhood with one roommate who is a young professional. We have no personal pets, providing a safe, indoor environment where your dog or cat can be the center of my attention and have their own space. My house has a small backyard for easy potty breaks and for off-leash play time. My house is near a large cemetery, perfect for long quiet walks in the morning and evening. When boarding or housesitting, I ensure dogs receive frequent potty breaks/walks (at least once every 2-5 hours), physical affection, and human playtime, depending on each pet's unique needs. My care can change to fit your pet's regular schedule, activity, and diet. For boarding, I require kennel-trained dogs when I am away from home, and I can provide a large kennel. Likewise, I require the owner to drop off sufficient dog food for the duration of the stay with their pet. Other toys, bowls, beds, and leashes are welcome, but not required.
A typical day
My backyard provides the perfect place for dogs to get outdoor time, and to run around or play fetch. I love to take dogs for leashed walks in the cemetery near my house and the surrounding neighborhood, and if they're up for a car ride, to Woodway Park. I also regularly run and am willing to take high-energy dogs on runs, depending upon their leash/running training. Above all, I love getting to cuddle with pets on the couch!
