About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of varying ages and have always enjoyed it immensely. I no longer have a dog of my own but I would love to make friends with yours. I am working 3 days per week (not a set schedule) and have enough time to spend with some lovely dogs. My schedule changes week to week but I am quite flexible and hopeful we can find a good agreement for dog sitting/walking. My apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a small/medium dog to stay at and play. I do not own a crate but also would prefer if your dog is properly trained and can tolerate being in open space.
About: I have extensive pet care experience that began in my childhood. Growing up, I was responsible for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. This early exposure taught me the essentials of animal care, from feeding and grooming to understanding their behaviors and health needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care, ensuring that each pet feels loved and well-tended. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to handle a wide range of pet care responsibilities confidently. I work from home and I am a home body except when I walk outdoors, run or bike! A walk is so much better with a dog I have plenty of space for dogs to run as I has a long hallway and a downstairs! I have parks 2 blocks down where I live and a dog area.

“Mother-in-law said Stella LOVED Bola and was so excited for all her walks!! The only thing she would change to make this a 5 start rating was the inconsistancy of arrival time and lack of communication in regards to being late. Overall, amazing service!! We look forward to working with Bola again in the near future!!”

I am extremely dedicated to providing the best animal care and hope to do business with you in the near future. :)
