Pet care experience

My name is Stella and I’m a mom to 3 boys. I have 3 dogs, Scarlet, the Komondor, Phoebe the pug and Millie the chihuahua. We also have 2 cats, goats, chickens, and other farm animals. I grew up always having pet dogs in the home and helping with their care. I have great experience caring for all animals and feel comfortable giving meds and injections or other special needs. I’m currently working and away from the home 8-4 on weekdays. We have a very large yard with a couple spots escape artists could get through. I am always outside with the dogs keeping an eye on them in the big yard. We also have a 30’x50’ dog run fully fenced area for more unsupervised outside time.

Stella is simply the best. We have used her many times over the years for boarding, house sitting and drop in’s. Trustworthy, caring, knowledgeable and communicative. Plus the pups love her 🐶

Stella was great! Handled and cared for our large dog just fine! We will definitely go with her again!

I am so happy to have found Stella! This was the second time she has cared for my three cats, one of whom is diabetic, while I am out of town. I feel 100% confident in her. She always sends photos when she is at my house, which is very comforting. She is a gem!

Information Stella S. would like to know about your pet

We need to know how your pet is with kids. We have 3 boys that can be loud and rambunctious sometimes. How they are with other dogs, and cats. Any behavioral issues or aggression. Are they used to being left with others or is this a totally new experience for them. Their favorite activities. Their normal routine. We love all breeds!

A typical day

Most dogs are really excited just to run and play in our big yard with the other dogs. If your pup is up for it, we try to do a 3-4 mile hike daily in the nearby forest. We’re also fans of snuggles on the couch. A stay here is very much just a home stay with a big family. Lots of people and pets to interact with and cozy couch to sleep on.
