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.

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.

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.

Bella is a very caring and loving caregiver to our pets. I’ve trusted her to watch our pets several times and they have always been well cared for and happy. She makes sure to give every pet attention and love, making sure to play with them, walk them, feed them, and give them lots of pets and belly rubs. Bella treats all animals as if they are her own and is very thoughtful of their needs, going above and beyond to make them happy. My mind is at ease when Bella is watching our pets because I know she will treat them wonderfully. I highly recommend trusting your pet with her if you are looking for your pet to be well looked after!

I have had Bella watch my animals multiple times in the past and she has done a phenomenal job. She is very caring and always available to help when someone is in need. She LOVES animals and treats each one like her own child. She has a heart of gold. She is very responsible and retains instructions and directions with perfection. I highly recommend her and will always trust her to take care for my fur babies. I know they will always be in great care with her.

Bella is trustworthy, punctual, reliable, and patient when caring for my cats. I have complete confidence in her ability to administer medication and prioritize their wellbeing while I’m away. I highly recommend Bella to all pet owners.
