Paws-itively Dog Devoted!
Hi, I'm Ella, a passionate dog lover who has grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. Caring for them has always been a natural part of my everyday routine, from daily walks and playtime to making sure they're happy, healthy, and well looked after. I've also spent years helping friends and family by caring for their dogs while they're away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, loving hands, so I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. 🐾 Dog Sitting (Fridays & Weekends Only) Perfect for when you're away and want your dog to stay happy and comfortable in their own home. -Daily walks tailored to your dog's routine and energy levels. -Feeding and fresh water. -Playtime in the garden or outdoors. -Plenty of love, cuddles, and companionship. -Toilet breaks as needed. -Regular updates for peace of mind Bonus: Light household tasks, such as taking the bins out, watering plants, and bringing in the post, so you can come home to everything just as you left it. 🦮 Dog Walking 30–45 minute walks (depending on the route), tailored to your dog's individual needs. -Walks suited to your dog's age, fitness, and energy levels. -Ball throwing and playtime for high-energy dogs. -Gentle, relaxed walks for older or lower-energy dogs. -Plenty of attention and positive interaction throughout the walk. -Fresh water after the walk if required. 🏡 Drop-In Visits (1 Hour) Ideal if your dog just needs some company while you're out. -Letting your dog out for a toilet break. -Feeding and topping up fresh water if needed. -Checking they're happy, comfortable, and safe. -Playtime or garden time. -Lots of love, fuss, and affection. -Cleaning up any little accidents if needed.

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for pets, safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment are of utmost importance to me. When in a pet owner's home, I prioritize their well-being and strive to provide a comfortable and secure environment. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I respect their space and follow any guidelines or instructions provided. I prioritize open and transparent communication with pet owners to ensure that their expectations are met, and that I have a clear understanding of their pet's routines, preferences, and any specific needs or concerns.
Ratings and reviews
Since I’ve met Ella a couple years ago for University, we’ve bonded over our love for animals, especially dogs. Ella has years of experience caring for her dog Bramble as well as many other dogs and even has a tattoo of a Bramble leaf to represent her love for her dog. Ella has looked after my dog Coco, a chihuahua and yorkie mix who’s very demanding and hard to care for, especially by strangers but she did a great job and even taught her new tricks. Ella’s love for dogs and vast knowledge and experience makes her the perfect candidate for a pet caregiver who’s fun, responsible and always happy to be around animals.

Schedule
I work full-time in marketing throughout the week and have 2 work-from-home days a week, which means I'm available in the evenings for dog walks and drop-in visits. On Fridays and throughout the weekend, I have much greater flexibility and can offer dog sitting, longer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting at various times of the day. I'm committed to making sure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve, while working around both their routine and their owner's schedule.

- I enjoy the company of all the furry friends I meet. Getting to know their traits ahead of time helps me determine the type of care and love they need. Some basic questions I may ask before we set up a playdate: 1. Are they reactive? (this won't determine whether I walk them or not, just helps me create the right safety measures for myself and your beloved pet!) 3. Walk and Play preference? (If your dog prefers a ball being thrown in a park rather than a walk) 4. Schedule? 5. Does your pet require any medications? 6. Who should I contact in case of an emergency or if I have any concerns?
