About Stella

An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast and experienced house and pet sitter. Your pets will feel like part of the family with me.

I have cared for a variety of animals from house pets such as rabbits cats and dogs to farm friends like horses and chooks. I'll keep your houseplants or backyard garden beaming too.

I am passionate about maintaining your pets training while you're away and leaving a list of commands / expected behaviours from your pet allows me to do so.

I have kept tropical fresh water fish and I enjoy learning about exotic and unusual pets. Chickens enjoy my company and I often fed our chickens and ducks out of my hands. Cats tend to curl up at my feet or around my head! And dogs love play time with me. I have experience working and caring for horses through Riding for the Disabled and participated in Dog Club events such as agility trials.

Current availability includes daytimes and overnight stays. I am able to offer both weekday and weekend walks 30min-1hour in length, play dates or pet sitting. Being on maternity leave, my sidekick will be along for the ride so it must be the right fit in terms of pet personality and training which will be discussed in advance.

I just finished pet sitting/caring for a friendly miniature schnauzer with my new sidekick and both dog and baby enjoyed the company.

When house/pet sitting I am available to stay for extended periods of time. Usually between 1-3weeks is requested. On request I could be home with the pet all day but prefer to pop out to run errands etc. While pet sitting, I will always stay with your pet overnight. Walks 30min-1hour usually morning and evening unless it’s too hot for soft paws then long enough to complete potty business and play indoors instead.

You can rest assured I will keep your home safe and lock up/activate alarm when leaving the property.

Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family 😊

Stella was wonderful! She took such good care of our fur babies, Bella & Tomtom. She sent us beautiful photos every day of them so we could see their cute faces while we were away on holiday. It was really reassuring to see that they were getting heaps of cuddles and lots of attention from Stella during her home visits. She was so lovely to deal with and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a very caring and responsible person to take care of their pets. Thank you Stella!
