Lavina went above and beyond to take care of our two little dogs. They normally don't warm up to people very fast, but liked Lavina right away. Next time we need a pet service, Starr Pet Sitting is first on our list!
Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • My home, venue, etc.

Lavina was a wonderful petsitter to my two cats, Olaf and Boo. She took care to ask questions in our meet & greet and throughout the week if anything was unclear, which made me feel like she truly values doing great work and caring for my pets. The daily updates included photos and included a thorough description of each visit; I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Would absolutely hire Lavina for any future petsitting needs!
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

I am so grateful I choose this service. Lavina was kind, professional and my cats loved her. She did exactly what I needed and provided updates which was so wonderful. I will be recommending her service to all my friends and family. It’s so nice to get away for a few days and I know my babies are being well cared for. I can’t Thank her enough!!

She has comes off as a person with great integrity in character, which made it easier for me to trust my cat to be in her hands while I was away on a job training. I would say putting the care of your pet is her hands is not a great idea but also a smart choice!
Details: Cat • 1 pet • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once in total • The pet sitter travels to me

Takes extra care of my senior dog. My dog fell in love with them, and that's a first!! Always get an update on their walks, and always spends time petting the dog before she goes. Would never go with another walker!!
Details: 1 dog • 10 years or older • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am willing to work with everyone's budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually schedule a meeting before hand to see if it's a fit for both the customer and myself. Then after the meeting, if we both agree on everything, then I start the job.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
