Hi, my name is Ellie! I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in December 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Sciences. Now, I’m a graduate student studying for my Master’s in UIUC’s Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications program. I hope to one day be an animal sciences or leadership studies professor! I have loved animals my whole life, and have experience with all types of pets. I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life, and also have ample experience with reptiles and birds. I know how to work with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I also know how to administer medications and have cared for special needs pets before. I know how difficult it can be to have to leave a pet behind, but you can rest assured knowing that I will take the absolute best care of them. I will even send you regular pictures of your pet throughout the day so that you know they’re doing well! I love going on walks as long as your pet is relatively well trained on a leash. I know how important it is that your pet stays active, so I will always make sure your pet has something to do.
