Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & Reliable Pet Care Expert
Years of experience taking care of dogs, both large and small! Additionally, I am the proud owner of an orange tabby cat, whom I adore endlessly. I understand and have experience with the high-energy "zoomies" and playful nature of both puppies and cats. What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience with pets of all ages and sizes. Currently, I have a senior dog at home, so I am well-versed in providing specialized care, including administering medication, managing special dietary needs, and ensuring frequent bathroom breaks. Friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed, and play with their pets. My love for animals drives my dedication to caring for your pets. I am committed to providing your pets with the same level of dedication and affection that I give to my own furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. Here's how I typically approach pet care in clients' homes: Initial Assessment: Before starting any care routine, I conduct a thorough assessment of the pet's needs and the home environment. This helps me understand their routine, any medical requirements, and specific instructions from the pet owner. Establishing Routine: I strive to maintain consistency by following the pet's usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and playtime, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily life. Environmental Enrichment: I create a stimulating environment for the pet by providing toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities tailored to their preferences. This helps prevent boredom and promotes mental stimulation and physical activity. Safety and Security: I prioritize the safety and well-being of the pet by ensuring that the home environment is secure and free from potential hazards. This includes securely closing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and safely storing any cleaning supplies or household items. Health Monitoring: Throughout my time with the pet, I keep a close eye on their health and behavior, noting any changes or concerns. This includes monitoring their appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, and overall demeanor. In case of any issues, I promptly communicate with the pet owner and seek veterinary assistance if necessary. Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care approach to suit their individual needs and preferences. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles for comfort, or accommodating specific dietary requirements, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and care. By following these guidelines and maintaining open communication with pet owners, I strive to provide a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care service that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind while they're away.
Ratings and reviews
This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn’t have been happier! We got photos and updates in our girl all weekend. It was such a relief to have someone in our home that we felt was trustworthy and safe. I’m excited to book with Belle again!
Belle has many years of experience caring for her families dogs, from puppies to seniors! She is a very empathic and detail oriented individual that will take the time to make sure your pet is cared for. She has experience caring for fish as well as cats (having nursed her own sick stray kitten to a healthy adult). Belle is also very active and loves the outdoors, if your pet enjoys walks and play time outside she is the sitter for you!!
Belle is a great cat mom. Under her care, her cat has grown from an underweight kitten into a happy, active feline. Belle is very responsible and an attentive caregiver.

Schedule
As I transition back into work and prepare to return to school next year, I find that pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule. Living at home allows me the freedom to manage my time efficiently, accommodating both my responsibilities and personal pursuits. My flexible hours enable me to adapt to the needs of pet owners, whether it's for daily walks, feeding schedules, or overnight stays. I prioritize my commitments, ensuring that I can dedicate ample time to providing quality care for pets while also pursuing my hobbies and professional goals. Incorporating pet care into my routine not only aligns with my current lifestyle but also enriches it, fostering a sense of responsibility, compassion, and companionship that I deeply value.
