Pet care experience

helping hands for your fur friends

I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids,” as I have one of my own, a six years old, Valentiny. I wish to continue to grow my experience in this field and build a trust with a new fur friend! Outside of dog sitting, I plan on returning back to school to continue my studies in international relations; meanwhile I have been bartending for 6+ years and enjoy the craftsmanship of it. I believe my passion for extending hospitality in the industry will be shown in how much care I pour on to your pets. I look forward to meeting all of your fur friends! I do appreciate your time

First repeat stay with Stela and all I can say is that she’s wonderful with our pets, is very communicative, and she’s a delight in general. Thank you again!

Stela was great! She was super responsive throughout the whole booking process, did an amazing job asking about care instructions, and sent pictures every day during the stay. Our pets loved her and we’d happily rebook with her in the future!

Stela was incredible with my cats during her weekend stay! She managed their medications and gave them the extra care they need with such patience and attention. I could tell they were in great hands, and everything went smoothly. She’s reliable, kind, and truly great with pets. Highly recommend!

Stela was an excellent sitter. The meet and greet that I had with her really made me comfortable in my decision to select her as my sitter. She communicated frequently and provided pictures of my dog which reassured me during travel. I highly recommend Stela! I will be reaching out to her the next time I have scheduled out of town travel.

Stela is exactly what you want in a dog care taker... she is attentive to your pet/needs/questions, great communication, and she goes above and beyond to take care of your pets. I highly recommend Stela to anyone in need of a dog walker.

exceptional service from Stela! Samson (my pitpull) immediately jumps with excitement upon her arrivals! Most days I work from home and in meetings, so Stela’s immediate response to stopping over to help with a walk means a lot and we’re very appreciative of her!
