Warm Presence & Caring Heart

I've been a pet lover since childhood. Growing up, I helped raise several Chow Chows and a kitty cat who became part of the family. Chelsea, Mona and later Simbi taught me responsibility and the true meaning of unconditional love. Over the years, I've extended that love by caring for my friends' pets - cats and dogs, from energetic young ones to wise seniors. I'm experienced in handling a variety of needs including providing care for sick and elderly fur babies. Every animal I care for receives a warm, nurturing presence that makes them feel safe, cherished and right at home.

Thank you so much for taking care of our little acrobat dog Ricky! I know he was a handful! But you helped us so much! We appreciated your communication!

Stella was amazing! Breno took to her right away. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone, and he looked like he was living his best life. When we picked him up he didn’t want to leave. With other sitters he couldn’t wait to go home, but he sat with Stella and rested his paw on her leg, his way of saying he cares about you. Stella is the best, and we will definitely book her again!

It was wonderful working with Stella. She was really good with my elderly dog. She gave Maya the time and attention she needed at her age. Stella is also a great communicator and gave me frequent updates, which is always comforting while I am traveling. Would love to work with Stella again!

Stella was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking with her! She was incredibly responsive and proactive with her updates about Carm. She really went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable in a new setting and outdoor environment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Pepper! Stella has been incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and Pepper absolutely adores her. We will definetely be back with her. Stella you are the best!!!. Highly recommend! ❤️❤️

Stella took excellent care of our dog, Lenny, while we were out of the country. She sent daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and very loved the entire time we were away. Stella is not only trustworthy and responsible but also incredibly kind. We’re so grateful to have found her and feel completely at ease knowing we have someone we can rely on to care for our beloved dog whenever we’re away.

Schedule

My schedule is designed to ensure your pet gets the attention they deserve throughout the week. I work part-time as a dance instructor and performer, with gigs mainly on Thursday and Saturday nights, which means I’m home most days. I’m available to board pets all week, and my routine allows for plenty of quality, one-on-one time with your furry friend—even amidst my dance commitments. This flexibility ensures your pet always feels loved and well-cared for, regardless of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly building with an elevator. My studio apartment is spacious, bright, clean and tidy. My neighbourhood is family-friendly, quiet and easily accessible by public transportation, both buses and trains.

A typical day

A typical day with my pet boarding service is filled with fun, care and engagement. I start my slow mornings with a gentle greeting, cuddles and a greeting to the new day with an energizing walk. After some fresh air, breakfast is served, followed by rest & digest and then some indoor playtime. I'll tailor playtime to each of my furry friends' personality and needs. In the afternoon, I ensure that every pet enjoys a little downtime with quiet cuddles, a nap and/or some grooming if needed to reinforce trust and our bond. Before the sun goes down, we will enjoy another walk and adventure while my furry checks their pee-mails. I also carve out moments for one-on-one time, whether it’s a playful tug-of-war session or a gentle belly rub. Evenings are relaxed and structured, ensuring that the pets feel secure and loved until it’s time to wind down for the night. Throughout the day, I focus on providing a balanced mix of exercise, play, and affection so that every pet leaves feeling happy and well cared for.
