About: I have had at least 1 dog my entire life. I have been walking and dog sitting for 30 years. It was something I could do as a kid that I fully enjoyed. I have many clients that have become great friends. Their Fur Babies become a part of our family. My family and I have rescued many dogs from bad situations and found them their furever homes. It is an amazing feeling to be able to know they are safe and will get all of the love they deserve. We have dogs also of our own that are our world some of which are special needs. If you are looking for experience and much love for you sweet babies please let me help :)
About: I had 2 pit bulls thier whole lives and they were just like my babies. I trained both of them and they were the biggest babies I have ever seen.

I have a decent sized yard and will keep a very close eye on them

Pets can be easily crated if needed but is certainly not a requirement.

Julie D.Star Sitter
“My 2 girls had a great time it sounds like for their very first time away from family. The picture and video updates were awesome to get.”
Riley M.
“Outstanding customer service, great communication, highly responsible and educated. Will book again.”
Stephanie M.
“Stef is a kind, patient, and extremely responsible pet sitter. She took care of our two demanding cats at her apartment for a week while we were out of town last summer. One cat required twice-daily oral medication - no fun for us as her owner, much less for a pet sitter, but Stef did it with ease. On the day of our return, she brought our kitties home and got them settled in - one less thing for us to worry about.”
