I have two pets of my own. Dino the tabby cat who is two and Tirso the mutt who is 8 months old. I am the sole care taker so my day starts and ends with them always. I take my dog to work with me so when I am there he is right by my side. I work Tuesdays, Thursdays and all day Saturday so my week is animal filled. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Safety, trust & environment

For me trust and cleanliness is the biggest factor!! My animals are my main priority. Whether they are my own or my clients I treat every one like family. I also am a big clean freak so I make sure my animals waste is picked up daily, their bowls are clean, and they have a fresh bed/blanket at the end of the night!!

Information Ella D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and/or medicine. I also would like to know energy level and how they feel most comfortable.

A typical day

Tirso comes to work with me and on our off days we play lots of fetch and go on hikes. My cat and I love laying around cuddling and sometimes all three of us with have a play party.

Pet care experience

I used to work at The Biscuit Garden as a manager and Kennel Technician. My other previous job was at Harmony Pet Resort and Spa as a Kennel Technician. These roles required me to be hands on with the animals. From playtime to dinner time I did it all. I even interacted with owners to make sure they knew their animals were in the best hands. When I was doing Kennel Technician I was making sure the dogs had waters, beds, cots and meals. I administered medication and any special add ins. I created doggy play groups based on temperament and energy levels so everyone was always having a good time. From the dogs who love fetch to the ones that enjoy relaxation outside all their needs are met. I walked, cleaned and love!! When I was manager I was running the shift. I made sure all staff were keeping up with the standards of animal care that was required. I checked clients in and out as well as gather any vital information about their pet(s). I made sure laundry and dishes are done. I ensure things are done on time and correctly. I open/closed as well. Now I am focusing on my education and Rover duties! Feel free to schedule a meet and greet before scheduling drop ins and walks!! I would love to get to know your fur family beforehand:)

Ella was absolutely AMAZING! I was nervous leaving my cats for a week but she made sure they were well cared for while we were away. Loved the daily notes and photos. Would 12 out of 10 recommend Ella if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area!

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.
