All pets deserve a wonderful life!

Pet care experience

I have been a dedicated caretaker for dogs since I was 11 years old, and animals have always played an important role in my life. As a retired registered nurse, I bring compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility to my work with pets. I am trained in “Full Circle Care” through my volunteer work at the Berkeley Animal Care Shelter, where I have gained experience understanding animal behavior, body language, and emotional needs. I am an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys long walks and providing attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats.

Celeste was amazing with our dog! We got lots of updates and cute pictures. Celeste asked lots of thoughtful questions to get to know our dog, his needs, preferences and triggers. I felt so at ease with Celeste taking care of Bean and 100% recommend!

Celeste was amazing. Our pets were definitely spoiled and the house left in great shape. We would leave them again in her care in a NY minute without any worries.

Celeste was beyond wonderful. I’d leave my dog with her anytime. Besides being a lovely person, she was totally responsible, communicative and gave my dog a lot of exercise and affection. I feel like planning a trip so she’ll come over again!

Celeste loves animals and did an amazing job taking care of our 1-year-old kitty for over a month. She shared updates and sweet photos while we were away, assuring us that our kitty was being well taken care of. She is trustworthy, caring, and communicative. Highly recommended!!
