Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I currently have three cats and a hamster. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their beloved dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I’m experienced walking, feeding, bathing and administering medications both orally and intravenously to pets. I also am able to clean cages and small tanks if needed.

My cats loved her! Even my most shy allowed her to pet him, and this for me is incredible! She was very nice, keeping me updated on everything and she was very careful in administering their medication. The litter boxes were as clean as I would have left them. I will totally call her again!

She was very attentive, prompt and communicative! Greatly appreciated the effort she put in to make sure our little guy was taken care of!

Stella was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our cat needs medication every 12 hours and Stella was so communicative on how that went and on every aspect of her visit. I would ask Stella to look after our cat anytime.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer services in my own home; however, I will follow your safety precautions set out in your own home. I have experience putting pets in crates, safely leashing and harnessing dogs, and transporting pets. Should there be a concern or need, I will always communicate with my clients.

Information Stella R. would like to know about your pet

Please note that I am a college student so I provide services in Westchester, NY during the summer and school breaks (ie. Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring break) but during the school session I provide services in Pittsburgh! Additionally, please let me know if your pets have any special health concerns, needs or triggers so I can safely care for them.

A typical day

When I care for doggies I like to keep them stimulated and curious. I like to take dogs on different walks to keep them active and stimulated, and if I am going out I love to take your dog with me to let them explore! Our furry friends need lots of pets and cuddles during the day too. For cats, I like to keep them engaged with feathers, pom-poms and dangly toys! If they are shy or lap cats and just need some company that is totally okay too!
