Pet care experience
I am an animal lover and excellent pet sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs (range of sizes, breeds and ages), cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, horses, chickens, and even wolves, foxes and coyotes (from working at a wildlife sanctuary). I've owned and taken care of cats and dogs throughout my life, and been a foster mom to numerous cats via my local shelter. One day, I hope to open up my own animal rescue/sanctuary, and pet sitting is not only a great way for me to connect with animals in a meaningful and fulfilling way, but is also a great stepping stone on the path to that dream! I am happy to take care of your pet(s) in a range of capacities, from checking in on them throughout the day, or staying overnight. I can feed, groom, clean up after, administer medicine, play, take on walks, etc. I do not board pets at my own home, so I will be happy to come to your pet as often as necessary. I am a responsible and empathetic carer - my experience has taught me how best to approach, earn the trust of, and maintain trusting, loving relationships with these animals, understanding that each one is unique. As your pet sitter, I will commit to learning and applying the best way(s) to care for each of your pets, and will honor their specific needs.
Reviews
Celia took care of my dog while I was gone. Not only she fed him twice a way, she went above and beyond and spend time with my dog for a few hours a each day so he's not so lonely when no one was home! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She would be the most warm hearted and loving companion for your puppers!
I can say that out of all the friends I have made in the last five years, Celia would definitely be among those I would trust the most to take care of my dog, and I have a high maintenance little puppy! She's been a very responsible friend and from what I can tell, takes everything she does very seriously, especially if she's doing something for someone else. I have complete faith that any dog owner would be in reliable, loving hands with Celia!
Celia is one of the most responsible dog walkers I have worked with. She is meticulous in making sure that each dog has it individual needs met. I have a dog that is scared of cars and she made sure to find ways to give her good long walks in low traffic areas. Very attentive and in tune with animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I take the time to let the animal come to me: it's important to me that they feel they have agency in our relationship. Once trust is established, I am comfortable feeding, administering medication, and providing enrichment, exercise, and socialization.
Information Celia O. would like to know about your pet
Aside the obvious important information like medicine and feeding schedules, I like to know if your dog has any particular needs, conditions or traits that I know to accommodate, such as if they're particularly shy, or don't like certain animals, etc.
A typical day
I like to go to Red Rocks and Williams Canyon in Manitou Springs, especially for higher-energy dogs! In summer there's a nice little pool for your dog to cool off in after our walk, too :)
