Playful, Present, and Passionate!

Pet care experience

I believe dogs deserve our best - and that includes taking the time for extra long walks, regular pup-cup outings, and endless belly rubs. I was raised in an animal-loving household and have always had dogs in my life - from Huskies, to Shepards, to Retrievers, to Chihuahuas! Walking, feeding, bathing, and cuddling dogs has always been a routine part of my life. In recent years I've dog-sat and dog-walked for friends, family, colleagues, and even some of my college professors (3, to be exact). I also volunteer through Humane Fort Wayne with their Tails On Trails program to provide high-energy shelter dogs with time and attention outside of the shelter. My own four-legged-best-friend, Boo (Boo Radley), has gifted me the exciting opportunity to adopt a doggy-proof lifestyle aka, the means through which I am able to prevent mishaps like the having of socks for a snack or the tracking of muddy paws all over the white couch. Dogs are a part of our family, and that's why I know how important it is for the humans who watch over them to be responsible. I am dedicated to respecting the rules and expectations of each individual and their pet. Aside from providing reliable care for animals, my personal love and devotion to dogs always ensures I am treating and providing for them as if they are my own.

Bella was a blessing for us and she took care of our babies. She responded immediately if we had any questions. She is very flexible and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Bella.

Bella truly loves the dogs she watches. I appreciated the compassion and care she provided my dog. I have an English Cream Retriever who love the mud. Bella would wipe her feet when she came into the house. She gave treats and followed my instructions.

Bella is an incredibly responsible person! We lived together for nearly 3 years, and she played a crucial role in caring for my two cats – feeding them, maintaining their litter boxes, and showering them with love. Bella's affection for animals, particularly dogs, is evident as she dog-sat throughout college and continued post-graduation. She not only hosted dogs at her place but also stayed in others' homes to watch over their furry friends. A little over a year ago, Bella welcomed her own dog, Boo, into her life, and he's been living the dream ever since. She prioritizes Boo's well-being and consistently puts his needs first. Beyond her love for animals, Bella maintains a clean and safe environment for them. This cleanliness extends to her care for others' spaces, ensuring a happy place for both humans and animals. If I ever need a dog sitter, Bella would undoubtedly be my top choice every time!!!

Bella is very attentive and caring. She follows all directions well and even communicates with me while I’m away. It’s always nice to know how my babies are doing when I’m not there. She not only gives them their essentials but shows them the affection they deserve! Would recommend any day!

Safety, trust & environment

I am dedicated to aiding the unique needs of individual owners/pets as strict scheduling, house rules, and training/behavior expectations will vary. If your dog needs to be out of the crate for X amount of time, I will ensure we spend that time together being active outside of the crate.

Information Bella H. would like to know about your pet

I want pups and their companions to feel comfortable. I am happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to get acquainted and ensure this is a good fit should you be looking to schedule a routine service with me.

A typical day

Whatever the vibe of your furry friend - I love to match their energy! I enjoy exploring new parks and paw-friendly spaces with more energetic and social dogs. Some of my favorite parks include Kreager, Shoaff, and Lakeside. Can't forget a stop by the Starbucks drive-thru for a pup cup. I recently discovered Conjure Coffee is dog-friendly, and would love to bring along a more mellow pup to join me for a cuppa! If your pup is a homebody, they are probably in for a good ole' belly-rubbing session. Fetch and tug too, of course, if they are up for it. I also love a fun game of household hide and seek :)
