Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Mom of 17 Years
I was a single dog mom for 17 years to a rescue pup I found off the street. She was my whole world, and I gave her the kind of attentive, patient care that comes from truly understanding a dog's needs, moods, and quirks over a lifetime together. Since moving to Encinitas in July 2025, I've been the go-to dog sitter for friends and neighbors here, caring for their pups with the same level of attention I gave my own. I live alone in a cozy home with a backyard and a doggy door, so your dog gets easy outdoor access and calm, one-on-one attention. I'm also just a 3 minute walk from the beach and stay active with 10,000+ steps a day, so there's plenty of real movement and fresh air built into their stay. I'm calm, present, and genuinely love spending time with dogs… beach walks, quiet afternoons, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog like they're my own. 🥰 🐶

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bella is truly the best! She has been watching my pug, Bubbles, for a decade now, and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Bubbles is definitely high maintenance, but Bella handles her perfectly. I can always count on her to spend the night whenever I travel out of town for work. She is incredibly flexible and has saved the day multiple times when my flights were delayed and I needed her to stay longer than expected. Bella is reliable, loving, and completely trustworthy. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her!
Bella has watched my dog Rufus several times now, and I couldn't feel more comfortable leaving him with her. He's an Aussiedoodle with a ton of energy, and she's great about taking him on long walks and making sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. She's attentive to his personality from the start, keeps me updated the whole time I'm away, and treats him like he's her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and responsible to care for your dog, I'd recommend Bella without hesitation.

Schedule
I'm home almost every day. I only travel to LA for work about five days a month so I have a lot of consistent free time to give a dog my full attention. I'm an avid walker and love being outside, so having a four-legged companion to walk with rather than going solo is something I genuinely look forward to. I'd love a dog of my own eventually, but the timing isn't right for me just yet so caring for other people's dogs is the perfect fit for where I'm at right now: real companionship, real routine, without the full-time commitment. It genuinely works well with how I live day to day.
