Pet care experience
Myself and my partner Mike have had dogs our whole lives growing up, and have been owners of our own rescue Border Collie for the past two years. We trained her from a puppy so have experience in doing so. Mike has also had cats for his whole life, as well as us both cat-sitting for family on several occasions. We also have experience with sitting for reactive dogs, and helping to manage these behaviours. We struggled to find a sitter for Ivy for a long time who provided everything we wanted for her, so now we are hoping to be able to provide that for other people. Always happy to answer any question or query.
Reviews
Ella and Mike have been fantastic. From first point of contact to when we picked Hank up, nothing was too much trouble and they are both so friendly and approachable. We were kept updated with photos and videos during Hanks stay, and it was very clear Hank was having a great time, and fully relaxed. Would definitely recommend to anyone ☺️
Ella and her partner are absolutely amazing. Had a great neutral initial meeting to ensure Heidi would be happy with their own dog as Heidi is a rescue .Heidi came back happy and tired after some lovely walks.
We can't rate Ella and her partner highly enough. Great communication, enthusiastic and clearly very good with dogs. Brân very obviously happy about everything although it has taken him a while to sleep off the excitement of a three-collie sleepover! 😄 Would definitely book again.
Ella seems a lovely person and was very responsive in communication and came across as professional and accommodating to my Bruno's needs. All good!
About Ella G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced back garden & our own 2 year old Border Collie, so everything in the house is dog proofed for her! She loves having a play mate & we will always make sure the dogs are introduced correctly beforehand (following a protocol we have learned through extensive dog training sessions) to ensure that our pups will enjoy their time together. Ivy is always excited to meet new playmates!

Information Ella G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything I can do to make you and your dog happier. No ask is too much! I know how it feels to have to trust someone else to look after your beloved pup, so please don’t feel as though there is anything that would be a silly ask. The more you can tell us about your dog’s needs, the better.
A typical day
We have a Border Collie, so we’re used to doing plenty with our dog! From long walks, to playtime, to training sessions, to cuddle time, we understand the importance of all the different types of stimulation. We take Ivy most places we go, so as long as your dog is happy to, they would be joining us on any trips to cafés or other adventures, but obviously this can be tailored to suit, as we love a day in together just as much.
