I'm Stella
Cat Sitting in Dania, FL
I’ve had cats for 10 years and understand that every cat is different. Some are social, some are shy, and some are a little spicy. I take the time to earn their trust and always move at their pace.
I’m experienced with:
-Oral & injectable medications
-Senior and special-needs cats
-Multi-cat households
-Shy/anxious cats
I’ve also worked with... Hi, I’m Stella, a full-time pet sitter with 8+ years of professional experience and a lifelong love for cats.

I’ve also worked with many happy cat families through Rover, and I bring that same reliability and communication to every visit.
My Approach
I focus on calm, respectful care. Whether your cat wants playtime, attention, or just quiet company, I’ll follow their lead and keep their routine consistent.
You’ll always get thoughtful updates with photos so you know how they’re doing.
If you’re looking for someone patient, reliable, and truly cat-focused, I’d love to connect!
Learn More About Stella
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have four cats of my own, and they’re a huge part of my life. Their names are Bob, Crowley, Rocky (aka Lil Monkey), and Spoopy. Living with cats every day has taught me so much about their different personalities, boundaries, and little quirks. Because of that, I’m very in tune with things like body language, comfort levels, and when a cat wants attention versus when they need space. I treat every cat I care for with that same level of understanding and respect.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to start with a complimentary, up to 30 minutes, Meet & Greet (M&G) so we can make sure it’s a great fit and go over your cat’s routine in detail. Every cat is different, so I take the time to learn their preferences, personality, and any specific care instructions. For new clients, I also have an intake form and service agreement to make sure I have all the important details needed to provide safe, consistent care. During visits, I stick closely to your cat’s normal routine to keep things low-stress and familiar. After each visit, I send updates with photos and notes so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your cat.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I approach shy or anxious cats with a lot of patience and respect. I never force interaction and always let them come to me on their own terms. Sometimes that means sitting quietly nearby, moving slowly, or just being a calm presence in their space. Over time, that consistency helps build trust. I’ve worked with many shy and “spicy” cats, so I’m comfortable reading their body language and adjusting my approach to help them feel safe and secure.

I’m so glad we found Stella! She takes excellent care of my 2 cats. Both need daily medication, and giving meds to my cats is never easy, but she handles it like a pro. Super patient, gentle, and clearly knows what she is doing—even with a stubborn kitty. I also appreciate the updates and photos while I am away. It makes me feel so much better knowing my cats are in good hands and doing well. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she is looking after. We have used Stella many times and will continue to!

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
