Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted care for all companions!
Hi, I’m Stef! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat mom of six, and dog mom of one. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for them. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and I’d be happy to care for other companions too! I’m comfortable feeding dry, wet, and raw diets, administering medications (including needles and inhalers), cleaning and refilling water bowls or fountains, scooping litter, walking pups, and giving plenty of playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship depending on your pet’s needs. I’ll make sure your animal companions feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 💜

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your companions feel safest and most at ease. I always follow your care instructions closely and treat your space with the same respect I give my own. To help pets feel secure, I often use calming sprays like Feliway (for cats) or Adaptil (for dogs). I also let pets approach me on their own terms and adjust my care to match their personality, whether they’re shy, playful, or somewhere in between. My priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. My hourly daycare rate (in your home) is the same as my hourly drop-in rate. I am currently no-longer offering House Sitting (overnight stays).
Ratings and reviews
This was our second time booking with Stef and she was great again! She’s great with our cat Berry and I appreciate the detailed daily updates and photos. Highly recommend booking with Stef :)
Stefanie took great care of our cats while we were away for a week. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Would love to book with her again.
This is the fourth time having Stefanie look after my cat Lucy and I will definitely book her again! Lucy had to start medication the day before I was going away so I booked Stefanie for a second visit each day last minute and she was very accommodating. I trusted her to administer the meds and she provided thorough updates. She always follows my instructions, answers my questions while I’m away, and takes the best photos of Lucy!
Stefanie is amazing with our guy, Blue. She goes above and beyond to not only take care of him, but is so accommodating and flexible when it comes to our booking. Looking forward to working with her again 😊.
I had a great experience with Stefanie while I was away on a two‑week vacation. She followed all instructions, took excellent care of Maria, and was very responsive. My cat warmed up to her quickly. I’ll definitely book with her again
Stefanie is great. My cat warmed up to her in no time.

Schedule
I work remotely full-time and offer pet sitting services part-time. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule when I’m not booked up! Since I book visits all across London, I may need to adjust visit times by an hour in either direction to stay efficient. Once we connect, I’ll work with you to create a schedule that matches your routine and keeps your pets happy and comfortable!

- It’s super helpful to know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or allergies ahead of time. I’d also love to know what treats they go crazy for, how they behave around new people, and where they like to hide (just in case they get shy!). I also like to know what your expectations are for each visit, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or just the basics. The more I know about your pet’s needs and your routine, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Please let me know if your dog is reactive toward people or other animals, whether they’re more of a leisurely “sniffer” on walks, and which commands you typically use with them.
