Pet care experience
Biggest dog lover you’ll ever meet
Hello! My name is Della, and I’m an experienced and compassionate dog caregiver with a deep love for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I currently have one dog, Ivy a 4-year-old Goldendoodle with a playful and energetic personality. I also recently lost my beloved senior dog of 17 years, who will always hold a special place in my heart. My experience spans both ends of the spectrum: from caring for senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and special attention, to helping younger dogs with basic training such as potty routines and simple commands. I understand that every dog is unique and pride myself on providing individualized care tailored to each pup’s personality and needs. I work from home full time, which allows me to provide round the clock attention, supervision, and companionship for your dog. I live in a highly walkable, pet-friendly apartment complex that includes secure walking paths, small dog parks, and an onsite grooming station perfect for regular exercise and enrichment. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment for them while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member!

Ratings and reviews
Della watched our poodle Henni for the day and took such good care of her. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, took lots of photos, and was very attentive to Henni’s needs. She was even flexible in letting us pick her up an hour later than arranged, which was much appreciated. Della has a safe and comfortable home for dogs with lots of green space around it for going on walks. We are so glad that she was able to look after our dog for the day and would 100% recommend her to others.
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Della Gastelum as she embarks on opening her pet sitting business. I have had the privilege of knowing Della for over 15 years, and throughout that time, she has consistently demonstrated compassion, reliability, and deep love and empathy for all living beings. Della has the biggest heart I know, and her choosing to embark on this new endevor during this time of her life is a true testament of that. Della recently lost her family dog of over 15 years, Mugzy. Wanting to provide care to other’s fur babies and alleviate the struggles other’s might have in tending to them, reflects her heart of gold. I sincerely believe Della to be a natural at connecting with animals, and its truly remarkable. She is a great owner to her fur baby, Ivy, very attentive, patient, and genuine in every interaction; not just with her own fur babies, but with everyone else’s. Della’s sense of responsibility, care, and calm presence make her someone I would trust without hesitation to care for any animal. I am confident that Della will bring the same dedication and warmth to her pet sitting venture that she brings to all aspects of her life. She is not only a dear friend but also one of the warmest, trustworthy, and loving individuals I know. She truly has a heart of gold.
Della treats every animal like her own, with love, patience, and attention to detail. Della is a truly caring and dependable pet caregiver. When I had surgery or went on vacation, Della completely took over caring for my pets. She was so reliable and loving, I barely had to worry about a thing. Truly a lifesaver! Highly recommend her services!
