Bella brings a warm, intuitive approach to pet care that immediately resonates with both animals and their humans. Before joining Paws Around Motown, she spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and long-term clients—experiences that helped her develop a calm, confident handling style. Since joining PAM, she’s completed our Pet First Aid/CPR and Animal Behavior Foundations courses, strengthening her ability to read subtle body-language cues and support animals with empathy and skill.

A lifelong animal lover, Bella has shared her home with dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a hedgehog. Her deep connection to animals shines through in her work, especially when caring for shy or timid pets. She finds immense joy in those breakthrough moments—when a nervous animal chooses to trust her, approaches for affection, or relaxes into her care. Those milestones are her favorite part of the job.

At home, Bella’s world revolves around Lily, her affectionate, treat-loving, endlessly talkative tabby cat who prefers to nap directly on top of her whenever possible. Caring for Lily through a post-surgery medication routine taught Bella patience, precision, and gentle technique—skills she now uses daily with PAM pets.

Bella believes in showing up with heart first. One of her guiding philosophies—
“To have loved a dog is to know the deepest form of grace this earth allows.” — r.m. drake
—beautifully reflects the intention she brings to every visit.

Fun fact: Bella can always go for a good cat cuddle. If there’s a feline in the home, they’ll likely be best friends by the end of the visit.
