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 was so great with my Buddy that he was her favorite pal while I was gone! She was patient my dog and his separation anxiety! She sent updates and made me feel comfortable with his stay! I recommend her for anyone looking for dog boarding/sitting!
