Pet care experience

Lincoln Park/Lakeview Petsitter!

I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years, starting in middle school and throughout college. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with dog walking, overnight stays, and daily drop-ins, so I’m comfortable handling a variety of routines and pet personalities (puppies, old dogs/cats, medications, cones, I have helped with all!) I’ve been living in Lakeview East for the past two years and really enjoy how walkable the area is—perfect for dog walks! Since my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’d love the opportunity to get some quality pet time—while also you helping out!

Ella did a great job watching our dog while we were out for a quick overnight trip! She did an awesome job sending updates with pictures and was great about asking questions to make sure our dog was taken care of accordingly. I will certainly consider rebooking her to watch our dog again in the future.

Ella was a great sitter for my cat Katara. She followed instructions perfectly, sent photos and notes, and made it easy to leave Katara for a long weekend. It was also great to see my shy cat warm up to her as well. I definitely recommend Ella to others looking for a sitter!

I adopted a small pup but needed help during the work day and Ella was very good with him. Thanks for taking care of coco!

Ella has been an absolute blessing to me and my cats for the past ten years. From the very first visit, she showed a level of care and dedication that immediately put me at ease. She is incredibly dependable — I never have to worry when Ella is looking after my babies. What truly sets Ella apart is the genuine love she has for animals. My cats have grown to completely trust her and welcome her into our home with open paws. That kind of bond doesn't happen overnight; it's a testament to her patience, consistency, and the warmth she brings every single time she walks through the door.
