Information Stella M. would like to know about your pet

FYI: I leave food out all day. I free feed. Also dogs sleep in kennel at night not with me and not free to roam at night, I think this is safer for the dogs.

I have lots of toys and lots of room to run around house and outside, there is a doggie door, dog run, that gives them lots of freedom to play.

Pet care experience

I love the small dogs under 20#'s. My yard is secure and doggie friendly. I have a rescue poodle mixes and a toy Australian shepherd, they love to have doggie slumber parties! I have taken care of dogs over 30 years, easy access off freeway. Your pet will have a wonderful time playing and basking in the sun or shade, there are many doggie lounges, water bowls and toys to keep them happy, until you get back from your trip, no worries! I am a retired registered nurse. I have been sitting through ROVER, previously w dog Vacay, for the past 5+ years with many repeat customers. Woof! About this sitter: Love small non allergenic small dogs. My two rescue dogs are friendly. Have a nice secure dog friendly yard.

Stella was wonderful! She kept me up to date on my dog throughout his stay with her by sending me daily videos and photos. She was also super flexible when our travel plans got affected by the winter storms. Our dog came home much happier than I've ever seen him after a boarding!! :) I will definitely use Stella again.
