Safety, trust & environment

As an experienced pet parent, caregiver and a preschool teacher for years, rest assured that your pets will be treated with love, kindness, and understanding. I follow and respect the dog/cat owner's rules and I appreciate hand-written notes or messages regarding your pet's needs, wants, temperament, & behavior. I used to travel a lot and would leave my pet with a sitter so I understand the importance of daily updates. I can send photos and videos as often as you require.

Information Stella R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/cat has any special need or any particular behavior that I should be aware of. Allergies, reactive, picky eater etc.

A typical day

I love walking the dogs around Tower Grove South neighborhood. I typically ask the owners if there are any preferred spots that they go to. If we have enough time, I like to walk the pups around Tower Grove Park.

Pet care experience

I have had a total of six dogs of different breeds since I was ten years old. Growing up as an only child, my main role at home was to take care for my dogs & our neighbor's cats. I even assisted my then-pregnant Japanese Spitz birth to six healthy puppies. She was a great mama & a trooper! With this experience and proper instructions, I would be comfortable administering medications and specialized care to your fur baby if needed. I have had to give medications to clients' dogs and cats too. I love dogs but I also love cats! I am a proud mama of two rescue cats Tonic and Ginger. I enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch, and getting unlimited cuddles. My favorite cat activity is playing hide & seek, chase, and of course more cuddles & pets (if they like it). I like to play calming & soft music for pets especially when I'm pet sitting. Music can do wonders for pets!

Stella did a great job checking in on our dog while we were away for the weekend. We were so happy with all the pictures we got and our pup seemed really happy when we got back!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
