Safety, trust & environment

When introducing myself to a new animal I like to start out quite and get on there level to make them feel more comfortable. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel happy and safe by respecting their spaces, personality, and unique needs.

Information Ella D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your puppy has any disabilities I need to be aware of or if they have issues with other dogs or people.

A typical day

I love letting dogs out and keeping them active and happy. I like to go on long walks and will go on a jog if your puppy has a lot of energy they need to release!

AMAZING. When I had dog throw up everywhere Ella was very communicative and sent pictures while I was at work. She also helped clean up which is beyond what she should do. Really appreciate Ella and my dog loves her!

I am proud to recommend my daughter, Ella, as a pet sitter. Caring for animals isn’t just something she enjoys—it’s truly her passion and a huge part of who she is. She was raised in a home always full of pets, and from a young age she showed a natural instinct to nurture, protect, and deeply connect with animals of all kinds. Ella’s dedication goes above and beyond what you would expect. At one point, she literally climbed onto a roof to rescue a stranded kitten—an experience that perfectly reflects her courage and unwavering commitment to helping animals in need. She ended up keeping that kitten, and it has thrived under her care. She is an incredibly attentive, responsible, and loving pet owner who treats every animal like family. She is also taking the next step in pursuing her passion by starting school to become a veterinary technician, which speaks to her long-term commitment to animal care and well-being. Anyone who trusts Ella with their pets can feel completely confident that they will be cared for with love, patience, and genuine compassion. She is dependable, kind, and truly has a gift when it comes to animals. Sincerely, Sarah Kaplan
