Experienced dog handler!

Pet care experience

I have volunteered and worked at two animal shelters taking care of dogs and cats, as well as working at two boarding facilities. I also have some experience with birds, reptiles and caged animals(like rabbits). I have experience bathing, brushing, keeping areas clean, administration of medicine, and cleaning protocols to ensure health of animals. I have even worked with deemed dangerous dogs, senior dogs, and puppies.

Starla did an amazing job taking care of our house and our pets! She went above and beyond to make everything nice for us while we were gone and also when we got home! I highly recommend her:)

Starla was great. Our dogs loved her right from the start, and that is unusual for my usually very shy Carly. She picked up on all the instructions very quickly and completed everything just as needed. We will use Starla again.

Information Starla R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any certain needs or allergies. If they have toy or food aggression I would also like to know so I can be as safe as possible around your animal. Also don’t be afraid to tell me your pets likes and dislikes!

A typical day

I will walk your dog and search for parks in the area. Play with them with their toys and of course bring a couple treats! (Will have different options in case of allergies)

I am now lucky enough to work from home, so I will be home almost all the time to take care of your fur babies, or go to your home. I do have a female German shepherd husky mix, and she absolutely loves other animals. I also have a cat, but if your dog is cat aggressive we can easily keep them seperated. I have an extra large crate, or of course if you want to bring your own crate you can. I am also able to keep your cat separated if need be! We don't have a fenced in yard, but there are multiple trails around that I take my dog to and are willing to take yours if you are comfortable with that!
