Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I will leave homes how I found it and put their pets safety above all else when going out for walks. With cats, I carefully watch their body language, respect their boundaries, and follow their lead with how comfortable they are having someone new entering their space. With dogs, I prioritize working through basic training like loose leash walking and building confidence through positive reinforcement with basic triggers like bikes, cars, squirrels, and other dogs.

Information Stella L. would like to know about your pet

Please let’s me know if your dog has any of the following so that I may prepare and access ahead of time: separation anxiety, food allergies, resources guarding (food, toys, etc.), bite history, current medications. Dogs must also be current on all vaccines.

A typical day

I love the outdoors myself so it’s that much more enjoyable when both your dog and I are able to go on adventures together. If the dog has extra energy to burn after walking, I am also able to provide them with lick mats, snuffle mats, and puzzles for mental enrichment.

Pet care experience

Trustworthy and experienced dog and cat sitter here! Book with me for both training and pet care in one. I have knowledge of dog behaviour and pet nutrition, and plenty of love to share when caring for your fur babies. I have a small white Pomeranian named Boba, once he’s familiar with a new dog he’s very friendly. The majority of my life has been about caring for both dogs and cats. I took care of my childhood dog ‘Muffin’ for 15 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. We would spend every day and night together, going on walks, exploring, cuddling, and enjoying life. I have her tattooed on my arm because she brought me so much unconditional love it still inspires me everyday. In the last 3 years, my fur baby ‘Rosie’ has turned me into an unexpected cat lady that caters to her every need. She currently lives in a separate home. After 3 years on Rover, I have looked after dogs and cats of all different sizes, temperaments, and behavioural and nutritional needs.

Stella is extremely trustworthy. I needed help with my cat's insulin injections while I was working night shifts, and she really eased my mind. Taking care of a diabetic cat isn't easy, but Stella is patient, caring, and communicates really well. I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her hands and truly appreciated all her help. Highly recommended!

Couldn't imagine a better sitter than Stella. Our cats gravitated to her right away, and her chill demeanor not only comforted them but eased us as well! We felt secure and confident that the pets were in good hands the whole time. We came back to a place that was very clean and could tell how happy the cats were! Thank you so much for your professionalism and care, Stella

Stella is very friendly both with the pets she watches over but with her clients as well. She took good care of our cat, Nachos, while we were away.

Stella was wonderful with my cat Zoya. Zoya is very choosy on who she likes and I was so pleasantly surprised that Stella's calm and kind nature eased Zoya and she seemed to love her! Stella was very kind and knowledgeable and while I was away she was responsive, punctual and flexible with mine/my pets needs. Would definitely book again!
