Reliable & experienced animal lover
Pet care experience
I have loved and connected with animals deeply since I was 5, when my family rescued a massive Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Although tiny in comparison to him, I learned to interact with, handle, and have fun with him and this skill has served me well in interacting with animals of all shapes and sizes. I've been a reliable petsitter, house-sitter, and babysitter for my community in my free time my whole life. I love to be outdoors, so your pet's outdoor enrichment time needs will always be prioritized and taken care of. Both of my childhood rescue dogs and my cat did come to us traumatized and I understand the importance of establishing trust, moving slowly, and giving your pet the space they need to get used to me. While I still have two very mellow cats, my lifelong dog passed away about a year ago and now I want to share my love for all animals that need a friend!
Reviews
My two pups enjoyed two days of daycare with Estella. She was communicative, compassionate, and the dogs seemed happy to return on the second day! We will definitely be staying with her again in the future!
Estella is our go-to house sitter! She is exceptional when it comes to spending time with our dog who requires a lot of exercise and attention. Our dog is a rescue who can be very challenging when it comes to being comfortable with new people, but warmed up to Estella immediately. She is proactive and consistent with playing and spending quality time with our dog. When we come home, our furbabies (1 dog and 3 cats) are happy and and the house is clean. Estella is very responsible, reliable, respectful and trustworthy which relieves a lot of stress and worry allowing us to relax while away. You will be lucky to have her take care of your furbabies and home ♥️

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced-in yard and two cats that like to keep to themselves. If boarding or doing doggy daycare, I will always keep the cats separated in another section of the house as an extra safety precaution for your pet because they will defend themselves if chased or attacked. I also have several wonderful trails by my house and love to hike if you have an animal with larger exercise needs. When visiting your home, I will usually bring a few treats and a toy but am happy to use any of your pet's favorites if they have a preference. I also carry a portable pet water bowl so your dog will have access to hydration when they need it.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can prepare for like marking territory indoors, being skiddish around other dogs or humans, etc.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs in the backyard, give them lots of scratches and pets, and take long walks or hikes that allow them enrichment time. I have several great trails near my house suitable for any dog’s exercise needs and have a park in my neighborhood to play fetch if your dog is trained to be off-leash.

I am currently an impending freshman in college and left my job of three years to explore, relax, and learn to soak in my life this summer. My mom works full time and I take care of our home, so I am almost always in the area and you will have a reliable companion for your fur-baby.
