Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. At the moment, I have weekends available, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets without feeling rushed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure their needs are fully met and that they feel cared for and loved while you’re away.

Information Starra M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their routines, personality, and any special needs. This includes feeding schedules, favorite toys, playtime preferences, medical conditions, medications, and any behavioral quirks. Knowing how they react to other animals, strangers, or new environments helps me provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. The more I understand about a pet ahead of time, the better I can tailor care to make them feel happy, safe, and loved.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is all about keeping them happy, healthy, and engaged. I start with meals and fresh water, then spend time playing, cuddling, and giving them attention. Depending on their needs, we might enjoy walks, supervised playtime with toys, or quiet time to relax and nap. I also follow any specific routines or instructions from pet parents to make sure their pets feel comfortable and secure. I love keeping pet owners updated, so I often send photos and messages throughout the day to show that their pets are happy and well cared for. Every day is tailored to the personality and needs of each pet, ensuring they feel loved and part of the family.

Because Pets Are Family

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up caring for both a dog and a cat in my own family home—my dog lived until 13 and my cat until 16—so I understand the needs of pets at every stage of life, from playful puppy and kitten energy to the special care seniors require. Over the years, I’ve also cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ pets, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to provide not only reliable care, but also affection, patience, and attention to detail so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like part of my family, making sure they get the walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship they need. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry loved ones are in caring and capable hands.

Our two dogs had a great experience with Starra. They were very accommodating and we would gladly bring them back. Thank you!

Starra has been amazing in caring for my dog! I was a little nervous to use Rover, but honestly, meeting Starra and seeing how great she is with animals really helped ease that! She really is a natural with animals and you can tell right away. Thank you Starra!! we love you and will use you again.

I cannot recommend Starra enough as a pet sitter! She is incredibly kind, patient, and has such a natural way with animals. Every pet she meets instantly feels comfortable around her, and it’s clear how much she truly loves and cares for them. She’s also hardworking, reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure every pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry family member as their own, Starra is the perfect choice!
