Professionally Trained Dog Adorer!
⚠️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!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
During the meet and greet, I always ask how frequently you would like pictures and updates. I always do at least 1 update a day with my average being 2-3. If you have any additional things you would like me to do, we can discuss that at the meet and greet!
Ratings and reviews
Annabelle was lovely! We have a hoard of dogs and she cared for them wonderfully! She sent us fun pictures every day and kept us updated on their antics and shenanigans. It was clear that they all felt loved and cared for while we were gone, enjoying their snuggles with their new friend! Additionally, we were super impressed with Annabelle’s dedication and flexibility - I accidentally booked her for the following weekend, not realizing my error until we texted her to let her know we were en route to the airport! She managed to juggle her schedule at the last minute (literally) to accommodate my oversight- what a blessing! We would have been in deep doo-doo without her (no pun intended)! What a gem!
Our puppies love when Bella comes to stay!
Bella was great with our pups! I think they were very happy to have Bella stay with them in their home! Lots of snuggles!
Bella did a great job taking care of Paisley:) she sent photos daily and was quick to respond to all my messages. Thanks again!
Annabella did such a great job watching our puppy. It was his first time with a dog sitter and she was very in tune to his specific needs. He was a bit anxious at first but she knew exactly how to handle it and because of that he warmed up very quickly. She sent daily updates and photos which made it much easier to enjoy our trip guilt free! Would definitely recommend her services!
Annabella is so sweet and great with our two dogs! We had delays in our flights and she stayed even later than we booked her for, which helped us out immensely. We will definitely continue using her for all of our dog and house sitting needs in the future!

Schedule
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.
