Hi everyone! 👋
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself for those who may not know me yet. My name is Stephanie Gallardi, and I’m the owner of Cozy Critters Petting Zoo. 🐐🐴🐑

Animals and children have always been a huge part of my life. I began teaching horseback riding lessons in Bigfork back in 2010, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful kids and families. Eventually, I started offering summer camps because I wanted to share my love for animals, horses, and farm life with even more children in a fun, hands-on environment.

There is something incredibly special about watching curious little minds light up while learning confidence, responsibility, kindness, and connection through animals. That passion is truly the heart behind Cozy Critters.

I’m also a mom to an almost 12-year-old daughter, and being a mother has shaped the way I run my camps and interact with children. For the past four years, I stepped away from teaching and camps to focus on raising her and being present for those important years of motherhood. Now that I’m returning to camps again, I’m doing so with even more appreciation for the trust parents place in the adults around their children.

Creating a safe, respectful, patient, and positive environment is extremely important to me. I want every child who visits Cozy Critters to feel welcomed, encouraged, included, and cared for — and I want parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in my care.

Thank you so much for supporting this dream and small family business. ❤️ I’m so excited for another summer of animals, learning, laughter, and muddy boots!

If you have any questions about camps, animals, or what to expect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I love connecting with families and helping children make unforgettable memories. ☀️🐓
