Love! Love! Love! Dogs!

Pet care experience

My name is Celeste and I have had dogs ever since I can remember. I think I was born with a dog biscuit in one hand and a collar in the other(joking). I would always bring lost or stray dogs home and my mom, a dog lover, never chastised me about it. She told me, they can't speak for themselves, so it's best I try my best to love and do it for them. I can't imagine my life without dogs and I know I'll live my life, striving to be the voice for them and loving them in any way I can. I have a Yorkie, Miss. Trixi, who is loving and always anxious to give many kisses. (I call her My Kissy Kissy Cubby Bear, lol) I would prefer small dogs and puppies because that is what I'm most comfortable with and have experience with. I prefer them because if there are any aggressive dogs or if we are threatened in any way while out walking or playing, I know that I can easily pick them up and run if I have to, lol. (I've had to do that once, when an owner didn't have their large aggressive dog (I won't say the breed) on a leash. The owner got it in time, but I was shaken up about it. I bought some dog mace/repellent that I keep with me after that.) I love big dogs as well, (I had Dobermans until my Yorkie), but if your big baby is manageable/trained, I'd be more than happy to sit or walk them as well. I was a volunteer at ASPCA in Atlanta and gained even more experience and understanding while volunteering there, especially with senior dogs. I reside in a two bedroom apartment in Naples. Taking your dog to Baker Park for long walks is something I am willing to provide to your furbaby, if requested. Let me know your needs and I will graciously provide them to you and your pet because I understand and would want the same. I can also administer medication as needed if required. I walk them every four hours, but I am willing to walk at specific times if your dog is on a schedule. That's not a problem. I want you comfortable and with no worries about leaving your pet with me, because I know how it feels to worry when you drop off your pet. Believe me, I know how it feels, but I don't want you to worry, I'm an animal lover and trust them more than humans most of the time, lol. Your baby will be part of our home and our family during it's stay with us and I know you'll be satisfied to bring it back for another stay. CONTACT ME WITH ANY CONCERNS and I usually take one dog at a time, but if they are a pair or puppies from the same litter, I'll be more than happy to do it for you. I would love to meet you and give you the ability to see the home that your pet will consider their "Home away from Home". Let me know and I will make myself available for you to visit. Thank you for reading until the end and I hope to have the enjoyment of caring for you furbaby in the future. (Smile)

My new favorite dog sitter! From the start, Celeste has been super responsive and accommodating and even offered a get together before my puppy's stay. She kept me updated all the time and took the cutest pictures and videos. Her place is great and I felt worry free leaving my baby girl with her. She even gifted me a laser to play with as my puppy enjoyed that so much. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future!

I was really, really please with the services Celeste and Dre provided. Rocco was a little scared at first but they made sure to comfort him and make him feel at home. I was updated daily with photos and videos which really gave us a peace of mind since this is the first time we've ever had to leave Rocco. Rocco got so attached to Dre in the short time since they made him feel at home. I would definitely recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a dog sitter/dog Mom or home away from home for their pets. And I will definitely be using their services in future if I need to. Thank you Celeste and Andre!!!!

There is a new dog park built in my apartment community and most of the dogs are very well behaved. I take my yorkie there with the large dogs, and haven't had a problem, but I would gladly take your pet to the large park where they can be walked along the nature trail, which I think would be more enjoyable. If your furbaby is along in years and unable to walk very well due to hip displasia or some other ailment, I also have a Large Doggy Stroller which I can stroll them around in so they can enjoy the outdoors as well. : )

Information Celeste S. would like to know about your pet

I was dog sitting for friends and family for years, since I don't have children, one reason I consider my pets my children. I can't imagine living my life without a dog. They are the most loyal and loving creatures in the world, that includes all animals (Yes, I'm an animal lover.) I live in a two bedroom apartment, but don't think your pet will be subject to staying in the apartment all day. I love the outdoors and your pet will too. If it is a special needs or senior pet, I have no problem providing the same care you would and do my best to let them know they are safe, loved, and cared for.

A typical day

I have plenty of time and toys to keep your pet active and busy. I prefer to let a dog be a dog and running and gnawing on things is what they do when they are young and I'm totally prepared. I work from home so I am able to give them extra attention, which is what I feel all dogs need, even outdoor dogs. Dogs are my life and your dog will know it when they stay with me. If your pet has any allergies, on medications, or special needs, I would love to know in advance, and I'm sure there won't be a problem. Your baby will be my baby during their stay. I have experience providing care, medication, and even changing dressings. I am an ex-Army medic and my previous Yorkie, Miss. Pixie had over five surgeries and I've cared/dog sat for dogs who were on specified diets and medication, so I'm very comfortable with that. The only thing I request from an owner is knowing their pets habits, eating, outside to go wee wee, and if they are a senior dog with extra needs, I generally don't take any other dogs during their stay so they get all my attention. Any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me with concerns. I don't live far from Baker Park and I can take your dog to the Small Dog Park, if requested. If not, I can walk them around the park for exercise and socialization. (I have a dog stroller if they are unable to walk) Dogs love the park because they are mentally stimulated and I love it too. It's great exercise.
