Safety, trust & environment

I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.

Information Stoph S. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to accommodate whatever special needs your pets may have. For instance, with my cats, I always need to watch them eat to make sure Rinri doesn't steal Achi's food when I feed them. I know each animals has their own special personality and behavior and I will incorporate whatever instructions or details you share with me.

A typical day

In addition to feeding and cleaning up after your pets, I'm happy to play with them for their enrichment, sit with them and pet them if they like company and contact, or give them space if that's what they need!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets!

Stoph is awesome! Great readout of the visit, great pictures, and she was totally gracious doing a hectic last-minute visit. Definitely recommend!

Stoph was amazing while taking care of our three cats for several days. I'm so happy to have found her! The cats were well fed and lovingly cared for, and our house was just as we left it. That tells me Stoph not only went above and beyond to keep things clean, but also spent plenty of time interacting with and giving affection to the cats, which I think kept them happy and prevented them from getting into trouble while we were away. I look forward to the next opportunity to leave them in her care.

Stoph did a great job and went through the trouble of putting boots on my dog every day to keep him as comfortable as possible during a really bad cold spell.

She did a great job looking after my shy cat while I was out of town, and brought in some packages that were delivered too :)
