“Kathy is fantastic, understands dogs, is a good communicator. Her dogs are also great. I did not get to meet Val but heard she was tolerant of my barky dog”

Marcia M.

“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”

Kori K.

“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”

Patty M.

“Sally is very comfortable in Bill's home.”

Ann D.

“Mike was an incredible sitter. My little guy, Walter, took to him because he was so friendly. He gave me updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was walked, fed, and well loved. Would recommend and work with Mike again!”

About: Hi there! If you are a first-time client, please take a moment to read my full profile before requesting a booking. I want to make sure my home and care style are a good fit for your pet. I’m Celine, an artist living in Albuquerque who loves helping people care for their pets. Pet sitting has been a meaningful way for me to support my art practice while spending time with wonderful animals. I grew up with dogs, had a plott hound named Lucy, and have been pet sitting for many years, first for friends and now regularly on Rover. I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and focus on creating a calm, secure environment for each dog. - I board only one dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives my full attention in a peaceful space with no other animals or children. I’m open to occasional exceptions for small dogs from the same household so they can stay together. I have a fenced yard and provide regular daily walks so your dog gets plenty of safe outdoor time and enrichment. - My partner Randy also lives with me. He is a wildland firefighter and is often away for extended periods. When he is home, he enjoys spending time with the dogs, but I am the primary caregiver and handle all daily care and communication. - I send regular updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! - Policies & Requirements: I require a meet and greet for all new clients. During this meeting, I assess whether the dog is a good fit and observe how they respond to new people. Please share any behavioral concerns or important details at that time. - If a dog is extremely high energy, has never been left alone without their owner, or shows signs of anxiety, I may request a trial daycare stay before approving a longer booking or overnight stay. - Because I am often fully booked, I may schedule meet and greets during an active boarding. The dog I’m boarding is always safely separated, and I don’t allow dogs to meet or interact. - I accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. A stay is not confirmed or reserved until it has been paid for and officially accepted through Rover. - For boarding stays, please bring everything your dog needs from home, including food, bowls, medications, toys, treats, crate (if crate trained and used to sleeping or spending time in a crate), bed, leash, and poop bags. I work from home as an artist and illustrator. My schedule is fairly flexible, which will ensure that I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Though I am at home most of the time, I do occasionally have to step out for 1-6 hours at a time for meetings and other errands. I take measures to make their time alone as stress-free as possible, providing toys and treats to occupy them. I prioritize safety through close supervision and clear communication with owners. I will take extra care to follow any instructions you have for feeding and administering medication, ensuring they get the care they need.

“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”

Jacob S.

“First time using Rover and Shell provided a great experience for me and my dog! She was very responsive to messages during pick up and drop off. My dog was super happy by the end of the day and had a great time running around with some of the other dogs. He was more than happy to come back for another day of fun a couple days later, making a beeline for the house whereas during the Meet and Greet he was much more reserved and cautious. Happy and tired dog at the end of the day makes our nights easier, and we look forward to more fun times at Shells daycare soon!”

Kerry B.

“Amber was amazing! She was incredibly responsive and was able to take my dog last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with photos throughout, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend and would happily book with her again!”

Ila J.

“Julia is a sweetheart! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with our drop off. She made sure to send me updates and pictures through the day. I highly recommend booking with her!!”

“This was my first opportunity to use Rover and I had a great experience and so did my Luna. I could really tell Bonni loved pets and took great care to ensure my Luna had a great experience. Thank you so much!”

“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”

Marianna E.

“Highly recommend! First time using a dog sitter and Shayna was perfect for my dog. Communication was great and I received updates/photos of my dog throughout the day. Shayna made me feel at ease knowing my dog would be in great care. I would request Shayna again for future doggy day care. Thank you Shayna!”

Samantha T.

“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”

Melissa B.

“Diane was so great with our senior rescue poodle. She looked happy in the photos she sent. Tail was wagging when we picked up and she got lots of snuggles. We will be using her again!”
