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. 💜

Pets

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).

Stefanie was great - she provided exactly the care we were looking for with our energetic cat, Berry. It was first time leaving her for more than a day or two and I felt she was in good hands the whole trip. Great communication, very responsive, and Berry was very happy to have the company each day! I highly recommend booking with Stefanie!

Had to book close to our vacation for reasons and luckily Stefanie was available. She took great care of our geriatric cat, Snowflake, while we were gone making sure she was happy and keeping me well informed. I highly recommend!

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.
