We were very satisfied with Stella's service, she stayed at our home and took care of our 2 dogs. Stella kept us updated on their behavior and sent us pictures more than once. Our house was exactly how we left it. I will definitely use her again.

I have had the privilege to work alongside Stella for several months. I've seen Stella work extensively on her dog-handling skills and training abilities in that time. Stella takes great pride in her k9 relationships. She sees the value of connecting with any K9 and becoming attuned to their needs and wants. Stella is kind, loving, and gentle when interacting with any K9. While working alongside Stella, I have never seen a better dog and handler combination. Stella has the patience and abilities to be working with any skill level of K9s. The loyalty, the listening abilities, and the attunement the K9 create towards Stella are incredible and indescribable. While working alongside Stella, I've witnessed the extensive training and certifications to the highest degree. From K9 training to skill building, off-leash training, and K9 trust. Stella speaks volumes when showing her strengths while handling any K9. I am beyond proud of Stella's accomplishments and the impression she left in the K9 Program. Stella would make an excellent dog sitter and will go above and beyond to make the connection needed in order to provide the best care for the K9 while working with them. I want to speak directly of a special relationship Stella created with K9 Melody. Stella became Melody's direct handler for the entire time I worked alongside Stella. Melody is a young Golden Retriever who had the responsibility of becoming a breeder in her future. That being said, Stella knew this relationship would end once Stella moved away and Melody would stay. That didn't stop Stella's connection abilities and giving Melody everything she ever needed. Stella created an inseparable bond with Melody. This dog could be across the backyard and Stella would whistle her own tune and Melody would come sprinting! This dog was at Stella's hip, the attunement and love were beyond anything I've ever seen before, and still true to this day. Melody quickly became off-leashed trained due to Stella's hard work and the time she spent daily training Melody. It's important to note, that Stella took the time and loving care towards Melody when Melody went into heat [multiple times]. Changing her and bathing her anytime a mess would appear. This speaks volumes. I can go on and on over these two, but I know she will fill you in on anything I missed! Stella, you have my blessing! You will do wonderful at anything you put your mind to, especially the love you have for any dog will make dog sitting grand!
