Currently, I am taking a gap year having spent three years at university. This leaves me quite flexible, and while my availability differs most weeks, my weekends and evenings are usually open, and I am often available throughout the week. To keep you up to date any variations should be reflected in my calender or feel free to ask directly!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet, whether on a walk or at your house, I will always make sure to keep you updated with anything you need. As with any care I have done before, I will treat your pet(s) as I would my own, with the upmost attention, love and care for their needs. I am always up for a snuggle, a game or some training!

Information Ella B. would like to know about your pet

Before any job, I will make sure to run through everything that is needed with you and make a note of any details to ensure I can provide the best care. This would be best done in person if possible, as meet and greets are a great way for me to introduce myself to you and your dog(s).

A typical day

Having grown up in and around Durham, I have found lots of gorgeous walks and hidden treasures to bring dogs along. I particularly love walks along the river, as there's plenty of wildlife and smells for dogs to explore, as well as big open spaces (like the nature reserve) to let them have a run around in. I'm also a regular at many of the dog friendly cafes in Durham and have found some lovely places I can recommend!

Caring, reliable and experienced!

Pet care experience

For almost as long as I can remember, pets have been a part of my life. I had my first cat at four, and two years later my first dog. 14 years later, and I have three dogs at home. Two of these are rescues, so I have valuable experience of caring for dogs from different backgrounds. The other one I raised from a puppy with my family, training her both in the essentials and some of the fun stuff (her favourite trick is a high five at the minute)! This gives me a wide repertoire of personal experience to draw upon when looking after dogs, whether they are excitable or quiet, friendly with other dogs or anxious, high energy youngsters or lower energy seniors. I also have experience house sitting for friends, during which I would send photos or videos to keep them up to date and be readily available to respond to any calls or messages. I would absolutely love the opportunity to dog walk or pet sit for you!

Ella is very reliable, communicative, and diligent. She took time to bond with my cat, and followed all instructions for her care dutifully. Her reports were detailed and reassuring, and allowed me to relax. She’s just the type of person you want looking after your pet! Thanks Ella! 🙂🙏🏼

Ella was very good at communicating and keeping us updated. She took great care with our pets and home while we were away. We would highly recommend her and definitely book her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
