teacher w/ summer off & luv of dogs
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Stella and I have been a dog lover, and owner, for my entire life. My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. When I was born my mom had a schnauzer named Oscar, who we actually called Oscar the Grouch because he HATED my sister and me. All because we had the audacity to be born and take his rightful place as my mothers baby. Since Oscar, we have had 1 wheatland terrier, 2 Greyhounds, 2 Maltese, and a schnauzer. I now have my own dog named Lily, and she is the CUTEST little pit mix! In addition to taking care of my own dogs, I have been lucky enough to be called upon as a dog sitter for a lot of my family friends. Everything from Maltipoos and Yorkies to mutts that weigh over 60 pounds! I love dogsitting/walking because I simply love dogs! In addition to my love for dogs, I also have a love for photography. Becuase of this there is a good chance that I will do a photo shoot with your animal whenever they are being cute! I will send you all picture I think are fridge worthy. During the school year I am done with work by 3:30 everyday! Also, my partner works from home, so dogs ever have to be without someone. Since I am a teacher I am fortunate to have summers off so I have a TON of availability! I am more than happy to work my life around the needs of your dog. This will act as my full-time job during the summer so I will give it my full attention.
Reviews
Stella was so wonderful! Winston is hard to tire and he definitely came home tired! He absolutely loved playing with Lily, and it eased my mind to know he was keeping busy and having fun. Thanks so much!
Stella is an amazing dog sitter! She loves your animal as if it is her own and she takes the time to get to know your pet and their personality, making for a very special touch! I always know how golden retriever will be in good hands. Sometimes he doesn’t even want to say goodbye to her! Trusted, respectful, and caring!
Stella has done a great job earning the trust of our still somewhat fearful rescue dog. She has listened closely to our instructions for how to greet and walk our pet to minimize her anxiety.
Appreciated her open communication, photos and updates, and when I returned from the weekend, you could not even tell anyone had stayed there the place was so clean. I think Peyton got so spoiled with belly rubs because this am she just rolled over and was ready for love!

I have a pretty energetic dog so we take lots of walks and go to the dog park often! Our neighborhood is very dog friendly! When I go to a clients home I work hard to build a relationship with the dog so they can feel comfortable with me!
Information Stella R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs behavior, if they are potty trained, and any medical needs, fears and/or triggers. Also if staying at your home the location of key items and WIFI!
A typical day
Walks through the neighborhood and various parks, playing with toys, playing fetch, laying out in the sun (weather permitting), napping, and LOTS of snuggling! My dog really loves people and adventures so we can bring them in as many adventures as they would like!
