Hi,
My name is Celeste and I provide petting services either in my home or yours. These were offered to clients at the veterinary clinic that I worked for at the time. I always loved providing a safe and comfortable environment for the pets while their parents were away. That’s what I consider dog and cat owners “parents to their fur babies”. I know how stressful it can be when you are travelling and have to leave your pets at home so finding the right match is really important. Hopefully, I can do that for you so that you can travel and enjoy your vacation without worrying that your pet is being well cared for and loved. I think it’s important to mention that I am retired from my career as a veterinary technician, most of that career was working emergency medicine in downtown Toronto and working as a critical care veterinary technician at a teaching veterinary college in Prince Edward Island. I provide walks plus they can play in the backyard in between. The length of the walk would normally be 20 to 30 minutes but this is depending on the weather of course and the type of breed. I know with my little guys they don’t do well in extreme heat or poor air quality on their walks so I would take that account with your pet as well. As I am retired I would be home a good portion of the day with your pet so they would not be lonely. I live by myself with my two little boys, the pugs and they are very social and are willing to share their dog toys with their friends. My dogs sleep in the bed with me and your Pet will be welcomed on the bed as well. I have some pets come with their crate that they like to sleep in at night and I placed this in the den so that they have lots of peace and quiet for sleeping. As you will notice from my pictures my backyard is fully fenced in and the gate is secured as I’ve pug proofed it so Spike cannot escape. If I am providing services in your home my visits will be 30 minutes in duration. This includes feeding and changing the water bowl, doing a security check on the house and bringing in the mail, taking out the garbage for you on garbage day, cleaning of litter box or cages for cats and pocket pets. Of course it goes without saying that they will be played with and provided with some social time, if it is the dog in your home then I would be taking it for a walk. I also like to take pictures and send you updates via text or email or What’s App while you are away so that you are reassured that they are having a good time in your absence. I am retired so i will be available to provide your pet with lots of attention and love during the day and all through the night. I have two very friendly dogs who love to have fur friend come over to play or have sleepovers. I believe in treating them as part of my family and they are my surrogate fur babies while in my care. What Celeste would like to know about your pet:
I would require information as to any behaviour or medical problems that need special attention. As to breed preference I am totally open but would prefer smaller or medium sized dogs the exception to this would be puppies where I would take any breed. Large dog would be considered on a case by case basis depending on age and activity requirements/

Celeste was amazing with Kodiak, and we loved getting the daily updates with photos. Laurie P. Apr 18, 2021
Celeste is great. She always sends us messages woth photos, and Sletchy enjoys his visits with her and her furry friends so very much. As an added bonus... he’s also pretty tired when he gets home. So we enjoy a peaceful evening! Thanks Celeste! Zac M. Apr 10, 2021
I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy during the day. She comes home tired, and is very excited every morning when we are going to Celeste’s house! Thomas B. Apr 5, 2021
Fantastic person. We felt very assured leaving our new puppy with Celeste. She is very good with dogs and was able to accept a booking in very short notice. Apr 3, 2021
Celeste is the best! We have used her to watch our little guy while we had some work done. Additionally, she took out guy overnight for one evening. She sends updates with photos, and her furkids Rocky & Spike are great buddies for our Bichon. If you need someone to care for your dog, without worrying about their welfare and/quality of care, Celeste is the person to help you! I’m so delighted that we found her. It’s nice to know that someone is theee for you, when you need a little extra help! Emily O. Mar 31, 2021
5 stars all the way! Mar 24, 2021
This was Sketchy’s 3rd visit with Celeste & he had a wonderful time. Celeste is very kind & patient with my over exuberant pup. He will be very happy to see her again, when we need a sitter. Mar 23, 2021
Sketchy loves Celeste & her lovely furkids! This was his 2nd day staying with Celeste & he comes home happy & tired. Celeste was available on short notice and because of her Vet Tech background, I feel very comfortable leaving my boy with her. Marci P. Mar 16, 2021
Celeste was absolutely amazing! She was kind, understanding, patient and really knows dogs well. She gave our dog lots of love and taught our puppy many new things. She also sent many pictures and communications to help us feel comfortable about being away from our puppy. I cannot wait to take our puppy back to her! We took our puppy because we have been having a hard time training her and because we needed help and a break. I highly recommend Celeste! ❤️? Emily S. Mar 9, 2021
Spunky had a great time with Celeste! She sent us lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! We would definitely recommend Celeste's services to a friend. Leslie F. Mar 6, 2021
Celeste is knowledgeable and caring. She is a good judge of dog character, and her experience as a vet tech gives her knowledge about health problems affecting dogs. She is personable with people and dogs, friendly and accommodating. Her rates are good. Thank you Celeste for looking after my mini-American shepherd Teddy! Tricia O. Feb 22, 2021
My puppy loves going to stay with Celeste. She is so accommodating and super nice! Feb 22, 202
Absolutely wonderful. This was the first time I took my puppy to a sitter and Celeste exceeded my expectations. She is so kind, nurturing, and surprised me with beautiful photos throughout the day. She also responded very promptly and thoughtfully to all my questions, and when I picked my puppy up she even gave Celeste a kiss. Thank you Celeste! You will see us soon. Tanya I. Feb 20, 2021
Celeste was super friendly and had great communication! It was great leaving foxy with someone so experienced and knowledgeable about doggos! Nairne H. Feb 15, 2021
So far, so good. Celeste has animals, clearly cares about them, my dog seems to a have a great time playing with the other dogs. Sean M. Jan.18/ 2021
Absolutely wonderful. Celeste has watched our puppy many times, and she always comes back happy and content. Our puppy loved being there, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second using her again. I can't recommend her highly enough! Nour Z. Jan 15, 2021
Celeste is amazing. When i first reached out to her, it was almost 9pm and i needed a dog sitter for my puppy the next morning at 5am. She responded so fast and happily took care of my puppy. I already booked her twice again and will continue to book her everytime i need my puppy to be safe somewhere other than home. Sarah T. Jan 6, 2021
Celeste is a wonderful host. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her and know he will be taken care of so well! We both absolutely love her! Amr S. Dec 12, 2020
Excellent sitter ! Will definitely use her services again

Celeste was warm and welcoming! She made leaving my dog with her easy. Remi loved his time with Celeste !! Would highly recommend :)
Nicola P. Oct 20, 2020
Celeste made my first experience incredible! I left my puppy with her for a half a day stay, and he absolutely loved it. Her communication and replies leading up to the stay were very timely and helpful, and I even got updates during the visit. Celeste knows what she is doing when it comes to dogs (her smile and experience are next to none!), and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog here again or recommend Celeste for your pet. Karen J. Oct 6, 2020
Celeste is a really lovely pet sitter. I know Jaxie felt at home and enjoyed the company, and care provided, in her home! Kirby H. Sep 7, 2020
Celeste was able to watch my hyper puppy with 0 notice which I appreciate so much. My puppy came back tired and is now napping! (Rare for a husky mix). Celeste was amazing. Kacy H. Aug 13, 2020
Celeste was awesome with our dogs Dexter and Diamond we were so pleased with her knowledge and commitment to them I definitely will be coming back to her again!!! Mikaila H. Oct 21, 2019
Celeste is sweet, kind, and very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. My dog has separation anxiety and he seemed comfortable and happy in her care. Definitely recommend. Michelle S. Oct 17, 2019
Celeste is an absolute sweetheart! Zeus has an amazing time over at her place! She is very accommodating and I completely trust her in watching my puppy! Melissa & Karishma M. Sep 24, 2019
Celeste was great with Max. The fact that she has the knowledge as a retired vet tech is a huge peace of mind :)
Max was happy and his belly was full when we arrived home. Celeste is also very personable and friendly. This was an all-around great experience. We will be back!
