We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Starla! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring hands. It was obvious when we got home that our pup was well loved, happy, and exceptionally well cared for. On top of that, our house was absolutely spotless—it looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. We truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for the care, kindness, and attention Starla gave both our dog and our home. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!

Starla took wonderful care of our sometimes unruly little morkie Maui. We were able to relax on our week long vacation knowing he was in great hands. Starla communicated with us regularly with pictures putting us even more at ease. We would highly recommend Starla to our friends and family. We will surely be using her services again.

100% professional from start to finish!. Starla was thorough in her questions of us before we even left, so she was prepared for any possible issue. We were so pleased with the job Starla did for us, and would surely hire her again without question. Thank you!

Starla was awesome! We appreciated her strong communication throughout her stay. Our pup was in great hands. We will definitely ask her to house sit again and again in the future.

I highly recommend Starla or house and dog sitting. She truly loves and cares for pets. She was wonderful with our two mini dachshunds for a week and she left neat, no sign that she was even here. Starla sent us up dates several times a day. She was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies!

Starla was amazing! Turbo loved her. Over and above what we had expected. She is very responsive and did great keeping us updated. We will be using her from here on out whenever we need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

The dogs will have access to my backyard with a secure fence. We will have plenty of room for running, playing ball or just sniffing around for fun. Your pet will always be supervised while outdoors. Also, I have a large, tiled family room that has dog friendly chairs and bedding for playtime and sleeping. When it’s really hot out, I try to keep them indoors during the hottest part of the day. I can’t wait to meet your little fur baby!

A typical day

I love dog walks and have playtime, fetch is a great exercise. Every dog has their favorite game to play. What’s your dog’s favorite game?

I have had dogs most of my life and been challenged with some who did not always get along, I am prepared if I have two dogs in my house that aren’t exactly fond of each other, I can help them safely coexist.
