Pet care experience

LOVING, AFFORDABLE, POSITIVE CARE

Hi!! My name is Bella, and I LOVE dogs! I have two large family dogs—a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever—that I have raised since they were just 2 months old. While raising my two babies, I have learned so much about reading body language, positive reinforcement, obedience training, and understanding each dog's individual wants and needs. One thing I strive for with every dog is the power of positive reinforcement. I have found that dogs respond best when they feel encouraged and understood, and it helps create a much stronger bond between me and them. I love getting to know each dog's personality and figuring out how to communicate with them in a way that makes them feel safe and confident. Throughout high school and college, I volunteered at shelter events and worked weekly with fearful dogs at a local shelter. Those experiences taught me patience, compassion, and how rewarding it is to help a dog come out of their shell. Not having a dog for much of my childhood made me appreciate them even more once I got my own, and it created a passion for caring for and advocating for dogs that continues today.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that pets respond best to positive actions and words. I make it a priority to personally understand each dog so that I can communicate with them effectively. By fostering a positive and empathetic environment, I aim to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care.

Bella is super communicative and trustworthy! She watched my large shepherd mix, who can sometimes be reactive to other dogs, without any problems. My dog took to her right away during the meet and greet! Would absolutely recommend booking with her!
