Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Stella, I do dog walking, and also run a doggy vacation care in my home in the Valley Lakes community of Round Lake. My house is chemical/ scent free. So all humans and animals can rest easy. It's a safe environment with a triple fenced in yard. They always have the run of the house or yard ,plus lots of toys to play with. Or comfy couches to nap on. I can take care of them for as little or as long as needed. I do this full time so your pet always has company. I take in a small number of dogs so each one gets very spoiled. They get plenty of exercise and play time. I have been doing this for over 20 years and have plenty of references. We have 3 small dogs of our own. Buddy, Charlie and Ollie. They are best buds and always welcome their new friends with wagging tails. About my yard I have a medium size fenced-in yard, that's triple fenced for the extra small pups. I'm able to administer oral meds and some injectionsn as well. As I have stated, my house is chemical and scent free. kindly refrain from using scented fabric softeners or scented dog shampoos prior to dropping of your pup at our house. There are a lot dogs and other animals with extremely sensitive systems and scents could fataly harm them. Thank you and we look forward to meeting you!

Stella took such good care of our pups. Our smaller dog is scared of thunderstorms and she made sure to give him medication and comfort him. She was great about providing updates and sending pictures.

Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!

Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!

I would have left this sooner but the app has been acting wonky for me. I give Stella 10/10! My pup is comfortable around other dogs so I want worried about that. They sent pics daily and in each one I could see how happy she was. She had so much fun & I see she picked up some good habits while there! I will be rebooking with her every time I need boarding for my Harper Rose!
