Reliable Care for Happy Pets
I really believe the world is better with animals, and they deserve nothing but love—because that’s all they have to give us. I know every dog requires different treatment and attention, and every animal is unique. My husband Marcus and I are hardworking, kind, and huge animal lovers with lots of love to give. We both enjoy being outdoors and are happy to stop by your house to give your pet some food, scratchies, and snuggles—or take them out for fresh air, whether that’s throwing a ball or taking your older little guy on a slow, senior-friendly stroll. I grew up surrounded by animals and animal lovers. When I was younger, I trained my German Shepherd puppy to master all her tricks, and when she got older and became incontinent due to her elderly age, I provided hands-on care—changing her diapers, cleaning up after her, and helping her with stairs and jumps she couldn’t manage anymore. It was heartbreaking, but she taught me that we have to enjoy every moment with our babies while we can. I’m typically the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to look after their animals while they’re away— I think it’s because they know I'll be equally obsessed and caring with their pet as they are. I take pride in providing loving, responsible care that feels just like home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately, my apartment isn’t suitable for overnight stays, so I’m currently offering only day visits and walks. When I go to a client's house, I make sure doors, windows, and gates are closed and watch out for things pets might get into—like plants, small objects, or foods that aren’t good for them. Hazardous stuff like cleaning products or meds are kept out of reach. I’ll never let a dog off-leash unless it’s in a securely fenced area because I understand how one wrong move can lead to a lost or hurt animal.
Ratings and reviews
Bella and Marcus went above and beyond watching our cat Gatsby. They made sure to not only do all of the daily tasks, but to also spend quality time with Gatsby and make sure he was entertained while we were away. They even showed genuine concern with the WA air quality and how it was going to affect Gatsby. I will definitely be sticking with them from now on when it comes to drop in visits for Gatsby.
Bella and Marcus are great!!! They went above and beyond what was asked of them. I greatly appreciated the brushing and attention they gave our girls. Would highly recommend them and look forward to future visits.
Bella was a wonderful and communicative walker. Went above and beyond after being accidentally sent the wrong address.
Thanks so much for taking care of Mona!
Bella & Marcus made Bunker feel right at ease and they were timely and prompt for his walks. They exceeded our expectations with playing with him in the backyard to get him comfortable. We appreciate Bella and Marcus greatly.
Bella is such a lovely host! She was super friendly and easy to talk to. You can tell she really loves animals by how she got along with our dog right off the bat. I felt totally comfortable leaving Gumball with her. She even sent me updates and cute pics of Gumball running around and being a lazy bones on the couch too. When I picked Gumball up, he was happy and clearly loved being with her. He seemed like he just had a vacation. Can’t recommend her enough.
