About Stella

Hello. My name is Stella and I’m an international student studying here in Amsterdam. I speak English and Finnish fluently, as I am half Finnish and half Canadian.

Currently, I do not have any pets here, however, my family has a cat back in Finland, which I miss daily. I decided to apply to be a pet sitter in order to get to hang out with cool, loving animals while earning some money. Throughout my life, I have had fish, 5 hamsters, and a cat. Additionally, my family and I often take care of our friends' or family's pets. We have had approximately 15 different dogs stay with us while their families were travelling, as well as we have cat-sitted their cats. My ultimate goal for the future would be to own multiple pets of all ages. I want to be able to offer animals a wonderful and stress-free life.

Since I was a young girl, I was very fond of animals and longed to be with them. I have been in multiple animal clubs where I learnt about different animals, as well as had hobbies such as horse riding. I truly enjoy being with animals more than with humans.

I am able to offer a plethora of services such as grooming pets, keeping them company, and ever caring for your place if it is a home visit. I do not have extensive experience in training nor have I administered much medication to pets, however, I am a quick learner and easily taught. When considering dogs and their need to be walked, I am able to provide the animal with as much outside time as necessary. I am an athletic girl and willing to remain active if the pet so desires. As I am a student, I do have some scholarly obligations, such as attending school a few days a week. My days are quite short, therefore easy to adapt to the needs of your pets.

Additionally, when in a house-sitting situation, I will treat your place with the utmost respect and maintain it in the condition it has been left in. I will take extensive security measures and never bring outsiders in. For day visits, I am always available in the evenings and on weekends. Mondays and Wednesdays are completely free as well.

I am able to care for all ages of pets and will always take into account their restrictions and boundaries. Hope to get to help care for your pets too!!

Second time Stella has looked after my cats and I can’t recommend her enough! Came home to happy cats and I think she must have done some extra vacuuming because there was hardly any litter around the whole room ☺️ I know my little goblins like to spread it everywhere. received a pic of my babies every day and she came exactly at the times she said she would. Thanks Stella! 🐆🐈‍⬛

I have never received official animal training, however, I have spent my whole life around animals. In a sense, I have gained experience through attempting tasks myself. I have pet-sitted animals for about 10 years, where I have been considered their primary carer while their family was away.
