Pet care experience

I love animals!

Your fur baby will receive private, personalized care for less than the cost of a local kennel service. My positive reviews speak for themselves. I’ve been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for over ten years! I’m from Texas and I grew up around dogs, cats, horses, fish and other animals throughout my life. Their care was an important part of my day. I enjoy being around animals. I am comfortable feeding, bathing and walking dogs, cats, fish, turtles, rabbits and teacup pigs. HOUSE SITTING INFO: Note: I do not board large dogs in my home. Dogs in my care are walked 10 minutes, 3-5 times a day. You can add longer walks for an additional price. If dog signals need to pee we take a quick pee break of course. The Pet parent must provide: all food, bowls, leash, harness or collar, treats and medication. If your pet has any recent history of accidents indoors you must also provide a sleeping crate & pee pads. I am not able to house sit for dogs over 20 lbs with behavioral issues, particularly aggression. Regarding house stays, the home must be safe and secure; doors can lock.

Let this review be for anyone who gets nervous about a dog sitter: you genuinely couldn’t ask for a better one than Celestine. She was incredible with our dog and our home. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. 100/10

Celestina took great care of our cat Figment and my apartment for a 10 night house stay. She sent daily updates, made quick friends with Fig and provided maximum cuddles! She followed all the instructions and left the apartment just as we left it. Thanks for keeping our little guy company for so long!

I had a wonderful experience with Celestina! She took such great care of my older mini poodle, making sure she got plenty of walks and even carrying her when she was tired or a bit overwhelmed by the city sounds. Celestina coordinated with me in advance, including a helpful phone call to answer all my questions, which really put me at ease. Throughout the evening, I felt completely relaxed knowing my pup was in such good hands. She also sent periodic photos, which were reassuring and allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Thank you, Celestina, for your kind and thoughtful care—I couldn’t have asked for better service!

I do my best to be flexible. Dogs are walked morning, evening and night— On weekends I may take them to the dog park for social play time.

Safety, trust & environment

I will regularly send pictures. I am very communicative with pet owners and will answer any of your questions. Look forward to caring for your pet. New clients should schedule a call so we are on the same page.

A typical day

On a typical day with your pet, they will have a lot of fun but also be able to relax. I will play fun games with them like frisbee, catch or tug of war. We will go on walks. When I’m doing things at home, they can take a nap. I will take them for a walk morning, evening and night.

If your dog has very extensive health or behavioral needs, I need to know, and may refuse service for liability reasons, but I can recommend alternatives if so.
