Availability

I'm a substitute teacher for Allen ISD. Typically I am out of the house from 8am until 4pm, but the exact times vary slightly due to different schools opening at different times. If you would like me to take the day off during the stay, just let me know in advance and we can discuss that! The minimum rate for that is $130/day as that is my pay rate when working. From end of May to beginning of August, it is summer break for the kids, so I will be home for the majority of the time unless I run errands! My daily routine is extremely flexible. The only hard set times I'm out of the house is Wednesday from around 10am until 4pm, but I can stop by during that window for potty breaks.

Information Annabella M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's temperament and what things they enjoy to do on a day to day basis. I would also want to know of allergies I should be aware of as well as any other important information you deem necessary. During the meet and greet, I have a questionnaire that I will go through with you to make sure I have all the information I need to take care of your babies to the best of my ability!

A typical day

I'd love to take your dogs to the nearest safe park for them to play with others and get exercise if you would like. I love to cuddle and love on dogs as much to their hearts' content. If your dog(s) enjoys a specific activity, just try and let me know beforehand and we can work something out!

Professionally Trained Dog Adorer!

Pet care experience

⚠️Cat Allergy⚠️ Hello! I'm Bella! I'm a recent graduate from UTD who has worked for Rover since 2019 and volunteered (then was hired on!) at Hairy Moose Pet Retreat and Shelter in 2018/2019. I've owned dogs all my life including a lab, a beagle, a short hair border collie mix, and a lab pit mix. Outside of Rover, I've pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors before, including a family who owned 4 dogs of varying sizes and medical needs, a family with birds, and a pair of leopard geckos. I don't mind brushing your pups if you request! No dog is too big or too small to not get all the love and affection in the world. I love working with any kind of dog breed including pit bulls, rottweilers, dobermans, and German shepherds. I am allergic to cats, so please no kitties (even though I love them just as much as I love dogs)! As long as you communicate with me ahead of time, I'm extremely flexible and understanding. I require a free meet & greet before your first booking, just so I can get to know you and your pups and make sure that we are a good fit for each other. Additional special circumstance charges: Outside of service radius: $0.50 per mile outside of radius (per week) Last minute booking (<3 days): $10 fee 24/7 supervision: $130/weekday minimum if school is in session (I substitute teach and this is my pay rate). Otherwise it's a $30/day fee. These charges help cover gas and food for me while watching your babies!

we are so grateful to have found Bella. We have one dog that is really shy and reactive to meeting new people and was instantly calmed with Bella‘s energy. We also have a new puppy that we had never left before. We are super nervous about leaving him but Bella did a great job and she updated us regularly while we were gone. The puppies were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be asking her back ! !

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
