Cecilia Pietropaoli, Neighbor

     I am an avid animal lover, and owner of " Home Alone Hounds" pet sitting service. For the past 10 years I've been doing just about everything  involving pet care for most every kind of critter while their owners are away.  I've been an active member of the Healdsburg Dog Park Committee since its inception, and helped create the Healdsburg Dog Parks.  Known by many as " the dog lady" ( which I guess is a step above being called " the cat lady" ) you  may have seen me about town walking what sometimes seems to be half the canine population of Healdsburg. 

     I love swimming,  scuba diving, and  playing Mah Jongg. I also really enjoy sharing the stories of the animals I know and the people who have embraced them. As a contributor to Patch I'm hoping I can impart to the reader  the humor, love, and lessons offered to us  in our interactions with the animals who share our daily lives.
