Reviews From Owners With.... REACTIVE, ANXIOUS & SPECIAL-CARE DOGS
- Amber S. — Doggy Day Care • Aug 18, 2024
“Just picked up Dolly the Great Dane after spending her first day away at daycare. Celeste was amazing, confident and made me feel safe leaving my very big, energetic and reactive dog for the first time. She's going for her first sleepover with Celeste this week, and I feel excited to have found someone who can handle my dog with confidence. She took the time to walk with us in the morning and I even learned some new tricks on how to handle my dog, which helped me feel more confident. Thank you!”
- Heather J. — Dog Boarding • Aug 13, 2024
“Celeste was attentive and caring to our dog Jasper when she stayed for an overnight. Jasper is reactive to other dogs sometimes, and Celeste was more than capable of handling this and also providing a place without other pets. Celeste has a large fenced yard, dog pool, many toys and gadgets set up to host dogs. Great proximity to the river as well for optional swimming. We received lots of photo updates while we were away. We were very pleased with how everything went and would 100% recommend Celeste.”
- Benilde A. — Doggy Day Care • Jul 15, 2024
“Celeste was so wonderful with my girl for daycare! She made sure she got lots of exercise, rest time, and even had her interact with some other dogs and play with them! My girl is usually reactive to other dogs so to have her socialized with no issue was such a game changer today.”
- Nataly A. — Dog Boarding • Jan 02, 2025
“Our time with Celeste was phenomenal, I am so grateful to have found her. We were quite nervous because our dog is not friendly with other dogs and it's our first time leaving her with a dog sitter. Celeste felt very confident which in turn reassured us greatly. The big fenced backyard also gave me a strong sense of security. We got videos of our dog running in the yard 💖 and communication was great. Thank you so much Celeste ✨”
- Marcia V. — Doggy Day Care • Aug 05, 2025
“Handled our separation anxiety dog with ease”
- Lauryn M. — Dog Boarding • Mar 24, 2025
“This was my first time using Rover for boarding and Celeste absolutely lived up to all the positive feedback she has received from other reviewers. My dog is somewhat shy (the result of being rescued from an abusive situation) but based off the video Celeste sent I could tell Whiskey was already feeling quite at ease with her within the first 24 hours. She has a great big fenced yard for the dogs and lots of toys. If you want an experienced dog sitter, you can count on Celeste.”
- JP E. — Dog Boarding • Mar 04, 2025
“Celeste was awesome, my dog went into boarding nervous and a little scared to be there. Came back to me chill and even more behaved. She sent me constant updates during my trip. 10/10 would recommend.”
- David F. — Dog Boarding • Mar 11, 2025
“Celeste is fantastic. Our senior dogs were very well cared for, medications given, and she took great care of them and made them comfortable all the time. She sent us regular updates and pics to show how the dogs were doing, and certainly they were relaxed snd making themselves at home. Can’t say enough about Celeste, the care and attention she gave our dogs, and we will be back when needed again.”
- Travis S. — Dog Boarding • Nov 13, 2024
“Celeste was great with our pup for a 2 night stay. She doesn’t like being away from her home but Celeste made her feel comfortable and at ease. She took her on walks and adventures around the city and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks so much, Celeste!”
- Pat L. — Dog Boarding • Sep 23, 2024
“Fantastic care for our first time with Celeste Our boy doesn’t love to be away from home but Celeste gave him the care and time to make sure he felt comfortable. Thank you!”
- Chad M. — Dog Boarding • Sep 03, 2024
“Celeste really cared for my dogs. Leaving your dogs with a stranger can be a stressful process but Celeste ensured that it was seamless and easy. My dogs are high maintenance and it was no issue at all for Celeste. It was like a getaway for them. Celeste also followed the training habits for the dogs. I can rest easy now knowing that they will be well looked after in the future!”
- Andrea G. — Doggy Day Care • Aug 13, 2024
“Thank you Celeste for taking good care of my somewhat shy and anxious dog. She was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Will be booking with Celeste again.”
- Jason H. — Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2024
“We were passing through Calgary and needed someone close to the Zoo to watch our dog for a few hours as pets aren't allowed there. We reached out to Celeste and from our first communications, she was informative, supportive, and reassuring. (We joked that my we weren't sure who would have more separation anxiety - us or our dog!). Drop off went well and the thing that showed everything was going to be good was when I popped into a store as we were headed to the zoo. I came out to see my wife, almost incredulous, "Guess who just came by?" Turns out Celeste had taken our dog for a walk almost as soon as we dropped him off and because we had stopped for snacks and drinks, ended up bumping into us. Again, our dog can have serious separation anxiety but he apparently came up to my wife and family, had a few snuggles and scratches, then happily carried on his merry way with Celeste! We got some updates through the afternoon (the overloaded wifi/cell signal at the zoo meant there were delays but that was beyond our control) and it sounded like our dog was having a wonderful time, chilling out and watching the birds through a backyard window. I would highly recommend Celeste for your pet sitting needs, especially if you are planning to hit the Calgary Zoo or other downtown locations (check out the Central Library - it's amazing!)”
- Dani B. — Dog Boarding • Jul 25, 2024
“We had the pleasure of having Celeste take care of our dog, Ostin, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, we knew our beloved pet was in great hands. Celeste treated Ostin as if he were her own, showing him so much love and attention. She made sure he was always engaged, playing with him and keeping him entertained. One of the highlights of Celeste's service was the constant updates we received. She sent us pictures and videos of Ostin regularly, allowing us to see how much fun he was having. This constant communication gave us a lot of peace of mind, knowing that Ostin was happy and well cared for while we were away. Celeste's dedication went beyond just keeping Ostin happy. We noticed a significant improvement in his behavior after his time with her. Ostin, who is not sociable with other dogs, began to show more confidence and interest in interacting with other pets. It was clear that Celeste's efforts to socialize him with other dog friends made a big difference. Overall, Celeste provided an exceptional service that exceeded our expectations. Her love for animals and commitment to their well-being shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She has truly set the bar high, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact she had on Ostin.”

“Celeste was amazing! Sasha is usually a pretty nervous dog but Celeste made her feel right at home. She enjoyed herself so much that she almost didn’t want to leave at the end!”
Reviews From Owners With.... HIGH-ENERGY, ADOLESCENT & WORKING-BREED DOGS
- Sammy M. — Dog Boarding • Oct 04, 2024
“I was so nervous about leaving my rambunctious adolescent golden with someone new but turns out - I had NOTHING to worry about. Celeste has tons of experience with classic adolescent behavior and has a great set up and routine that kept Rue happy and mentally engaged. I got lots of great pictures and updates and communication was great. Definitely booking Celeste again!”
- Raeanna K. — Dog Boarding • Apr 13, 2025

- Caitlin S. — Dog Boarding • Jul 02, 2024

- Marlee C. — Dog Boarding • Dec 30, 2024

- Sandra H. — Doggy Day Care • Oct 02, 2024
“We are very happy with the care that Celeste provided for our little labradoodle, Casey. We were in Calgary for a wedding reception and were not sure what to do with our puppy, I found Celeste on Rover and was very satisfied. She alleviated my fears as it was the first time leaving Casey with another person. She kept us updated through the whole day and evening with pics and videos and we were very thankful for that.”
- Michelle R. — Dog Boarding • Aug 10, 2024
“We were a little apprehensive about leaving our dog for the first time but we’re out to ease immediately with Celeste. It’s clear how much she loves dogs and she cared for our sweet Bo like he was her own. He had a great week playing with other dogs, splashing around in the doggy pool and going on so many great walks and adventures. Celeste kept us updated the whole time with lots of photos, videos and notes to tell us about his day. We would highly recommend her for your dog day care and boarding needs. We’ll likely send Bo back for daycare so he can keep in touch with his new dog friends 🐾❤️🐶”
- Natalie B. — Dog Boarding • Jan 07, 2025
“Celeste was absolutely amazing! She looked after my girl Kiera for 2 and a half weeks, the longest I’ve been away from her, and Celeste made me feel comfortable the whole time. I constantly received updates, pictures, and videos, and Celeste was very responsive whenever I had a question! I highly suggest leaving your dog in Celeste’s care, she goes above and beyond. In addition to walks, pets, and play time, she also made sure Kiera received mental stimulation through puzzles and games! Thank you, Celeste!”
