About: For years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their beloved fur babies. Providing them with love, comfort, and dependable care while they are away. My flexible schedule makes it easy to work around your pet’s care needs. Whether it’s short- or long-term, I’m happy to do overnights so your furry friend can stay safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow routines closely, keep their space clean, and provide loving, attentive care. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I always making sure they feel safe, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. Communication is key, so I keep owners updated with check-ins and photos for peace of mind.

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

celeste g.
“Celeste is a very loving and caring person who would absolutely be a fantastic pet care giver. Her love for pets shows by how much time she is committed and devoted to the love and happiness of her own dog Max. She would be such an asset as a pet caregiver because she puts the needs of the animal first before her own. Never would they feel neglected and she would make sure that in their time time spent together that the animal is loved and taken care for. Celeste has such a loving and devoted heart, a creative mind, and a fun spirt that her ideas will definitely make things more enjoyable for whatever pet she comes across. I could not recommend any one more committed to love and care of my own pet.”

Mark R.
“Mark is a vital part of our rescue dogs’ rehabilitation. He treats them all with kind regards and embraces our Fear Free protocol. The dogs always seem to have a great time with him. Big smiles and happy dogs are what we love to see. Another thing we really like is Mark’s follow up. He gives us detailed information on how the dog did, what they liked or loved and if necessary, what they didn’t like. We trust him with our rescue dogs and our personal dogs and livestock.”
