Pet care experience

Works and adapts with all dogs

I have worked at Castle Rock Kennels in Minnesota. I have worked with dogs who need special care. I have worked with dog aggressive dogs as well. I can take care of feedings, walks, playtime and meds. I also often pet sit for my aunt who has 3 big dogs which, due to personality differences, have to be separated at all times. I have never met a dog that I haven’t loved! Experience with: German Shepherds, Mastiffs, Huskys, Labs, Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Frenchies, and many many more.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a 13 yr old German Shepherd and 7 yr old Shepherd/Husky/Chow Chow mix. After school I usually hangout with them. They love to get cuddles and go outside to run and play (as much as they can). Both have hip issues so I often have to help them up, and I am very tuned into their needs. My senior Shepherd also has some neurologic degeneration which has caused her to have accidents more frequently, so I often need to clean up messes here and there.

Bella took excellent care of our dogs. Our senior dog was given the time and extra care needed to make sure she got in and out of house safely and Bella was able to administer their meds which gave me great peace of mind. Next time we need a sitter I will be booking Bella again for sure.

Bella has cared for my animals on multiple occasions and done an amazing job! My animals are not easy - I have one dog that is aggressive with my other dogs. Two dogs and one cat on medications. She did a great job of caring for one of my cats that was very sick - Bella spent the time with her to make sure she ate and had her medication. She is kind and compassionate and my animals (all 22 of them) are very obviously comfortable around her from the first meeting. She is one of those people that animals are instantly drawn to. On top of all of this, a stray cat, clearly starving to death, followed her on a walk one day as if she was asking for help. Bella couldn't leave her behind - she took her and made the calls to get her into a rescue. After that she continued to visit and check up on the kitty. She's the kind of person we all want to care for our animals. Highly recommend!

Bella has taken care of our two big dogs several times when we’ve been out of town. She has a natural ease and ability to care for our dogs and it’s easy to see she loves animals. I’ve found her to be dependable, honest, and capable. She was on time for feedings and walks and administered meds as needed. I highly recommend giving her a try!
