Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover AND retired!
I recently started my journey with Rover and can’t wait to build lasting relationships with the wonderful pets and pet owners in this community, and am interested in taking care of pets close to Scruggs Rd. My husband and I recently retired and moved to beautiful Smith Mountain Lake off of Scruggs Rd. Now, I’m thrilled to have the time to reconnect with my love for animals! There’s nothing I enjoy more than walking, playing, running, and, of course, snuggling with dogs and all furry family members. I’ve had dogs throughout most of my life, and even as a child, I was the one in my family who eagerly cared for and spent time with our pets. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats (whether they were our own or friends'), as well as rabbits, fish, and even horses. In addition, I’ve volunteered with Animal Welfare Leagues, where I enjoyed spending time with animals awaiting their forever homes and helping with various housekeeping tasks. I’ve also been involved in horse therapy for special needs children, working as a side walker and caring for the horses.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are family too and I treat them as they are mine. I have always felt very comfortable around animals and make sure they are getting the attention they need and want.
Ratings and reviews
Celinda was amazing, she went above and beyond to make my dogs feel comfortable. This was their first time with a dog sitter and Celinda was very patient and loving.Would recommend her!



We are always very happy and have no worries when Celinda stays at our home with our two dogs! She is a great sitter and gives them lots of walks and love.


Celinda did a great job w our 2 cats for a long weekend. She followed our information and asked clarifying questions as needed. I would recommend her to others! Thanks
Celinda is always very dependable and loving to our two pups. We had unexpected snow and she stayed an extra day. We are grateful for her love and care of our pups!


Celinda won over our somewhat skittish dog on her first visit. I appreciated her offering a welcome visit in advance of the sitting and knew everything would go great after watching her with our pup. Highly recommend! Great communication - it makes travel even more fun when we know our 4 legged family are in such good hands ❤️

Celinda is a great dog sitter. Guinness is very excited when she arrives to my home. She communicates very promptly and provides updates on Guinness. She leaves my house and there is no evidence she was there!! Great job!
