Dying to befriend your pet!
Pet care experience
I've had cats for years and have had large dogs in the past. I’ve volunteered at dog shelters before, where I provided basic care to a wide array of dogs. I’m familiar with reactive dogs, puppies, and leash pullers, and have experience caring for cats with anxiety. I'm a pro at giving pills, ear drops, trimming nails, and ready to tackle whatever your furry friend needs!
Reviews
Ella took wonderful care of my pets! She communicated promptly, sent many pictures, and kept them busy and company.
I loved how Ella stopped by the night before the walk to meet my dog and sent multiple photos during the walk!
Ella is a phenomenal pet sitter. She is great at the complicated routines that our geriatric furry ones require, which is invaluable in ensuring our pets are cared for when we are away. I highly recommend Ella as a caregiver for your fur babies!
Ella is the best -- she cares for my two cats like they were her own. She is responsive to both my needs as well as our cats, and reduces my stress immensely when I'm away knowing they are in such good hands. Ella has watched my cats for over 2 years now, and is always our top choice when we need to travel. I cannot recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m able to accommodate what you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’ve watched reactive dogs that are most comfortable in their home and with people only, or have done parks and walks with both confident and reactive dogs. I’m use to velcro cats and ones who want space - either is perfect!
Information Ella M. would like to know about your pet
All types of animals are welcome! I have experience with cats and dogs with particular needs (both physical and emotional) and am very flexible in adaptive when learning to care for new critters. I'm open to whatever needs your pet may have as long as I know ahead of time!
A typical day
For cats, I love figuring out how they want to play and getting them excited to run around. I want to be sure boredom isn't taking over, but also give them a lap to cuddle in and plenty of pets when it's time to relax. For dogs, I love long walks (or runs if they're up for it) and playing in the backyard. Fetch, tug of war, and belly rubs are my favorite ways to pass time with dogs.

Availability
I work from home full time so I’m very flexible in house sitting or daily walks/drop-ins during the workweek and weekends. My schedule apart from work is also flexible, so fitting in pet care is easy (and rewarding)!
