This was my second time with Stella as my sitter and I'm sure I'll go back to her again if/when I need to.


Based on owner reviews, completed bookings and the profile
A shy cat met Stella and quickly became her friend, even while her owner was away for two weeks. Stella has had cats all her life, guiding them from kittenhood into senior years, and her understanding of cat language helps her reach skittish cats. Because she is self-employed, she can shape your cat’s day around its needs, bringing work to the couch for cuddles and companionship. One owner now trusts Stella more than anything else to care for her cat.

I've had cats all my life, and have lived with a few from kittenhood all the way through their senior years. I consider myself very well-versed in "cat language", and pride myself on being able to befriend even shy and skittish cats. I'm less experienced with dogs, but love spending time with friends' and family's pups, and am committed to learning more about dog behavior as well!
Please detail any meds/allergies/other special needs I'll need to be aware of. I'd also love to know a little about their personality! Are they shy around new people? Active and with a lot of energy to burn? Let me know so I can make their time with me fun!
I'm self-employed and in charge of my own schedule, so I can customize my time to your pet's needs! Got a couch-potato? Great! I'll bring some work to do and we can hang out and cuddle all day. Got an active pup? Great! I can take them to the park, or on my morning run with me.
See photos, care updates, and activity as your sitter shares them. Follow walks live with GPS and see when visits start and finish.

This was my second time with Stella as my sitter and I'm sure I'll go back to her again if/when I need to.


I was a little worried about leaving Mojo in the care of a stranger but daily updates from Stella made me feel better. I'll definitely book her again next time I have to travel.
After meeting Stella it became very apparent that she has both the knowledge and the passion to care for cats. She befriended my own cat rapidly, and took care of her for two weeks while I was unable to. Now I trust her more than anything else to care for my cat whenever I need her to.
