Hello! My name is Ella. Since I can remember, I've had a love for all animals. I grew up with a menagerie--we had cats, dogs, chinchillas, gerbils, lizards, and fish so I am very well-versed on a variety of pets. I currently have a sweet cockapoo/beagle/who-knows-what-else mix that I adore. She makes me laugh, gets me out of the house, and makes my life so much better...not to mention, she gets along well with other dogs! In the past I have worked with dogs of all ages. I have knowledge of special needs care, specifically that of caring for pets with Lyme Disease, Arthritis, and Diabetes. I enjoy taking dogs on adventures or just spending quality time with them...I am an expert at giving scritches and belly rubs. I also have knowledge of cat care. Cats are such insightful creatures...they take longer to open up but can be just as humorous and entertaining as dogs. I am a self-proclaimed cat/dog person as I am unable to decide which I like better! Let me know if you have any questions for me. I am excited to meet you and your pets!
