Highlights
Pet care experience
20 years of reliable pet-care
I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m the go-to sitter for neighbors, friends, and family—trusted to handle everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding, bathing, administering medication, and offering comfort to nervous or older pets. I truly treat every animal like my own, with patience, love, and a calm presence. I’m also experienced with shy cats and have a special place in my heart for rescue pets.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bella took care of our dog and two cats while we were on vacation, and she was phenomenal. She gave our high-energy shepherd lots of outdoor play, kept our shy cat comfortable and safe, and even managed to bond with our grumpy senior tabby. She sent daily updates that were both reassuring and adorable. We felt totally at ease knowing Bella was in charge.
“I was nervous to leave my senior cat, Willow, while I traveled, but Bella was incredible. She understood how to give Willow space while still keeping her company, and was so attentive to her medication schedule. When I came home, Willow was calm and content, which is rare for her after I’ve been away. Bella clearly has a gift with animals and a deep respect for their individual needs.
Bella was an absolute lifesaver while I was out of town! My energetic lab mix, Lenny, can be a handful, but she handled him with total confidence and ease. She took him on long walks, played fetch in the park, and even sent me the cutest photo updates. He came back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. I’d trust Bella with Scout anytime!

I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday visits after 2pm. Whether it’s a long walk, quiet company, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved while respecting their individual needs and space – especially important for more sensitive animals like cats
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I grew up on a farm and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and am known among friends as the reliable, go-to pet lover. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and pride myself on being calm, patient, and respectful of their boundaries – especially important for senior pets, shy animals, or cats who need their space. Your pet will be in caring, capable hands with someone who truly loves what they do.

A typical day
A typical day depends on your pet’s personality. For dogs, we’ll go on walks, play, and explore the neighborhood. For cats, I offer plenty of enrichment, playtime, and cozy companionship—whether they’re lap cats or independent ex
