Disponibilité
I'm mostly self employed. I make my own schedule and can largely tailor it to your pet's needs. I tend to be a night owl so I can take care of them late into the night if needed. I can also bring my work to your home if full housesitting is preferred!

À propos de Celeste H.

Compétences
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I care for pets in their own environment for two reasons: I am unable to host them with my animals, and I believe they are most comfortable where they are most familiar. I follow each pet’s established routine closely. This includes feeding schedules, litter box or yard care, medications, enrichment, and any specific behavioral preferences. For cats, I prioritize calm entry, gentle engagement, and giving them the option to approach me first. I’m attentive to subtle stress signals and adjust my interaction level accordingly. I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for changes in appetite, litter habits, or behavior. For dogs, I provide structured walks, play, and positive reinforcement while maintaining consistent boundaries. I keep spaces clean, send detailed updates with photos, and aim to leave your home exactly as I found it (or better).
Informations que Celeste H. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
Please let me know as much as possible about your pets' behavioral and medical needs. The more details the better! Feeding schedule, bathroom schedule, how the pets get along, what toys and play they like, etc.
Une journée type
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For cats, that might mean interactive wand play, puzzle feeders, enrichment games that tap into their natural hunting instincts, or simply calm companionship for shy or senior cats. I always follow their cues and never force interaction. For dogs, I provide structured walks, sniffing opportunities, play sessions, and positive-reinforcement engagement suited to their energy level. Whether they need active play or a steady, reassuring presence, I adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and fulfilled.

Fear Free Cat Specialist/Dog Sitter
Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
Hi! I’m a Richmond-based pet sitter with a special focus on cats. I take a calm, fear-free, positive-reinforcement approach to care, which means meeting animals where they are and letting trust build naturally. I’m especially experienced with caretaking for sick, chronically ill, and disabled cats. I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and extra caring to these precious creatures. I’m often told, “My pet doesn’t like anyone, I can’t believe they're letting you pet them.” I think animals respond to my kind, calm energy and respect for their boundaries. My philosophy is to never rush interaction, and I’m attentive to body language and stress signals. While cats are my specialty, I’m also comfortable with smaller dogs of varying temperaments and energy levels. My goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, understood, and cared for.

Avis
Celeste stayed at the house and took good care of our cat while we were away on vacation. We got updates and photos throughout the week and felt confident that the cat was getting a lot of attention and was in good hands.
I would not use this sitter again.
Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!
Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
