Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong animal lover and petsitter
I grew up with a variety of different pets; dogs, cats, fish, etc. I also rode horses and volunteered at my local humane society from the age of eight. I love animals of all kinds and am currently working on my wildlife rehabilitation certification. I have an active lifestyle and am at my happiest immersing myself in nature in rain or shine. I have two cats of my own and frequently care for my friends' and family members fur-babies. I look forward to getting to know yours also!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a neat, respectful and handy person. If I am invited into your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and ensure that your household routines and expectations are consistently met. I am flexible and will be happy to adapt to a schedule that fits the needs of you and your pet in a non-disruptive way. Your pet will be in safe hands, and I will communicate with you as frequently as you wish, sending updates and pictures on request or at a pre-determined frequency that suits you.
Ratings and reviews
Stella is scrupulously conscientious when it comes to the care of creatures. She makes sure that her own cats have everything they need and since she's had them they've gone from fearful and anxious to friendly and confident. She has also taken care of my dog, and she is an extremely gentle and loving caretaker. I appreciate her orientation to detail and her willingness to care for pets according to the routine that they are used to.
Stella is a great choice for all of your pet care needs! Having 2 cats of her own, she gave me so much valuable advice when I adopted a cat myself. She is responsible, reliable, empathetic, and knowledgable about pets and their individual needs.
Stella is a kind, attentive, responsible and reliable person, who focuses on and looks after your pet's needs with care, maintains your pet's routine, and will let you know how your pet is doing. She loves and feels comfortable with dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, farm animals, all of them, and what's really remarkable is how the animals seem to immediately warm up to her and respond with trust. She has her own pets who are very happy and healthy, thriving in her care.

Schedule
I am a freelance violinist and violin teacher, so my schedule is self-built and fairly flexible! A lot of my work is individual practice (I even have a special mute that I attach to my instrument which dampens the violin sound for the more sensitive pet ears.) I am an active person and love to go on walks, trail hikes and runs with an animal companion, ideally a couple times a day. I have a station wagon with a dog-friendly back hatch so I can drive reasonable distances with your pet, to parks or to the vet in an emergency. Since I grew up with animals in my family, it is second nature for me to incorporate animals' daily needs into my schedule and I do not consider it a burden.
