My dog says that I’m cool…

Pet care experience

I believe I was brought home from the hospital as a newborn to a Bernese Mountain Dog, who raised me and showed me me the beauty of animals. From then on I have spent my life alongside animals, whether it be my own pets, volunteering, or even working at a boarding/training/spa facility for a year and absorbing everything I experience as knowledge. I also have a passion for rescue and currently a rescue transporter for any rescues that pass through Illinois or passing states and have been able to meet and care for some of the best animals ever(dogs primarily but hoping to do cat and small animal transports as well).

Stella was great! I would highly recommend her. My dog is often anxious and there was a storm but Stella made her feel relaxed and soon my dog was napping! She gave us updates and we knew our tripod dog was in good hands! Three out of three paws from our pup! We will definitely hire Stella again!

I think Chance looks forward to her visits now. Not just a sitter but a great companion for any pup 🐶

This is our first time having anyone house sit. Stella was understanding, communicative, and great with our foster dog. She’s also very flexible with scheduling which is a plus. Will be booking her again!

Who is your pet? Is there anything specific I should know about your pet before meeting? What are the most important things to remember about your pet while we are together? Quirks are welcomed as are ALL breeds, ages, and sizes.

A typical day

I love to do what you and your dog also love, whether it be being couch potatoes together with lots of pets and playtime, or it may be you guys just need someone there feed/hydrate/administration of medicine/supplements. Did someone say walks… or the W word in my house because my boy gets too excited. I love walking in all settings that work for you and your dog; city, farm, forest, side-walk, prairie, and possibly even the desert. Have a reactive dog? I have experience with that as my own dog is dog reactive, because of that I am always extra cautious to a dogs specific needs or triggers. <3

I am currently working part-time and am also a student, sometimes(mostly just ceramics independent studies that require me to go into the studio at my own volition). I tend to have a lot of free time:-)
