Availability
Pups are my favorite part of my schedule, so I’ll usually try to work around pup-times, making sure all needs are taken care of throughout the day. I often work virtually so I can check in and spend time with your pups, and like to schedule outings to be animal-friendly as much as possible, so that they can come with me.

About Celestine C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to your home, I will take your lead, and be as respectful as possible. Please show me your/your pet’s preferences and I’ll adhere to those wherever I can. I believe in building our relationship with trust and explicit communication. You are sharing your precious companions and home with me, and I cherish that so much. I will take good care of them so that you feel assured that they’re in good hands. I do have a German shepherd that is a career change from The Seeing Eye program, and a friendly and very gentle cat. They can come with me or stay at our home with my partner, depending on your preference.

Information Celestine C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routines and if they have special needs, medications, or any care tips unique to them! It would also be helpful to know about their energy levels and personalities—are they excitable? Anxious? Sporty or couch potato? Do they love spectating squirrels? Hate hats?
A typical day
Your dog and I will start building love, trust, and respect by walking together. That, and daily routines and games at home, will be the staple of our time together. For bonus fun activities, I’ve gone on cafe outings, parks, pumpkin picking, beach trips, as well as cozy days at home. It depends how your dog is feeling, and how confident and social they are!

Hi! Here to love and help
Pet care experience
Your dog will be loved while you’re away by someone who is communicative, experienced, and has handled all kinds of emergency situations. I’ve been raising guide dog puppies since 2015 and am well-versed in all things dogs. I have experience with all personalities and temperaments, basic training and exposure, administrating medicine, and basic medical care. Having helped raise over a dozen guide dog puppies, I’m experienced in all things puppy-raising including housebreaking, teaching beginner’s obedience, and manners. I’ve also worked with special needs dogs such as those with trauma, post-surgical care, and special medical administration.
Cat care experience
Celestine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Celestine truly went above and beyond!! We were worried as this was the first time leaving our pets so long and with a housesitter, but after the first few hours it was clear all our pets were in amazing hands! Celestine showed clear love and understanding of animals. We were initially worried how our reactive dog would do while we were away, but Celestine worked with him with great care, patience, and clear expertise from training guide dogs, adjusting walking schedules for our reactive dog and doing some training. Updates were sent frequently and always with such aesthetic photos 🙂 We would trust Celestine to watch our pets again in a heartbeat 😊
Celestine took incredible care of my two cats, and they absolutely loved their visits! I felt so much better knowing that they had someone taking such great care of them and giving them some extra love and attention!
Kind, sends picture updates, responsive
Celestine is wonderful— very responsible and also quite knowledgeable about and experienced with dogs. And most importantly, Zoe is super comfortable with Celestine! I highly recommend Celestine!
