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. It's a safe, non-crated environment with a fenced in yard. They always have the run of the house or yard ,plus lots of toys and 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. Currently I have dog named Buddy,aka my shadow. our Cock-A-Chon mix we recently rescued. Super loving and smart boy who completed our family We just adopted another family member, a 3 month Cavalier puppy that loves absolutely everyone and everything. About my yard I have a medium size fenced-in yard with a doggy pool for those hot days. My experience administering medication I have experience in oral meds and injections as well.

Stella's very accommodating to our special requests for our Kiba's needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates couple of times a day. Stella's family too are very nice and friendly. Will definitely refer her to others for her great service.

This was first time. Before leaving Arrow for longer time we wanted to try for shorter period. I guess arrow enjoyed and plcs sent were helping us keep informed.

Stella was attentive and loving to our little old little lady. It was Lola’s first time with a sitter other than family in her own home in her whole life. To say we were nervous for Lola and Stella’s family would be an understatement. We feel thoroughly blessed to have had Lola’s first sleepover at Stella’s and hope to book with her again soon!
