Safety, trust & environment

I am used to having all different kinds of animals in my home ranging from parrots to guinea pigs to fish, and of course my puppy. As you can imagine, having a zoo isn’t simple and lots of my animals have specific needs (whether it be dietary, or extra bathroom breaks) that I am used to going above and beyond to fulfill and would do the same for yours! We love using toys that make our puppy think like treat mats & puzzles, so if you have the same for your pup, I would have no problem setting them up. I’m not usually on my phone during walks, so excuse my limited gallery of pictures, but more will be updated soon!

Information Star F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know before booking if your dog has any special needs or accommodations whether it be medical, behavioral, or dietary so that I am able to prepare correctly and were able to get your friend what they need.

A typical day

I love and think it’s important to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally with various toys and walk locations. If your dog has some favorite toys, activities, or places they like to walk I would love to know and be able to play with them & take them on little adventures! If you don’t have a specific spot in mind, I know multiple parks and pathways that stretch for different lengths so I’ll definitely have some good places for your pup to explore.

Pet care experience

Growing up my grandma bred collies for show competitions so I have taken care of dogs in all stages of their life from puppy to senior! I have plenty of experience walking, bathing, training, and caring for dogs of multiple different breeds and sizes as well. Alongside our litters of puppies, we also rescued kittens whenever we had the opportunity so I’ve gotten to work with cats of all stages of life as well (including disabled cats that need some extra love and care).

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Star! She took care of my two pugs over a long holiday weekend, and from the moment I reached out to her, I knew they were in great hands. Her communication was stellar throughout the entire time, always quick to respond and regularly checked in with updates, which made me feel so much more at ease as a nervous paw parent. What truly set her apart, though, were the amazing photos and videos she shared with me. Not only did these keep me informed on how my pups were doing, but they also captured just how much love and excitement she had for spending time with them. It was so clear that she genuinely enjoyed every moment with my pugs, and they were having a blast with her! She even went above and beyond by incorporating an extra visit into her schedule to ensure they had the attention they needed after a change in my plans. This thoughtful gesture really meant the world to me and showed how much she cares about the dogs in her care. I was initially hesitant about leaving my pups because it’s hard for me to be away from them, but thanks to Star’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warmth, I had complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and fun-loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you so much, Star, for taking such wonderful care of my pups. I’m beyond grateful! 💕🐾

Star dropped in on my kitties when I was on a family trip for a week. She cleaned the litter, refilled food and water and played and cuddled with them.

Star is incredible with Rudi. He’s pooped when he comes back from his walks. Just what he needs while I’m laid up.

I would highly recommend Star for your dog sitting. She’s very prompt and professional with communication. She is very loving and friendly with our dogs. We have a 4 lbs chihuahua and an 80 lbs pit bull and she took care of them both with excellence - making sure they both got plenty of attention and affection.
