Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog owner of 20+ years
Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.
Ratings and reviews
Stella has been a great home away from home for my retriever. As a dog owner and lover herself, she is experienced in caring for dogs. Stella is responsive and easy to communicate with. She provides updates to let me know my pup is happy and doing well whether it’s for a quick overnight or an extended stay.

- Let me know if your dogs have any preferences, or personality traits I need to know about. Are they reactive, friendly, scared? Do they like to walk slow, fast, stop and say hi to people, sniff at every bush?
