Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 3–6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–3 PM.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to cat and dog body language, take extra care with pets who may try to escape, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m also comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and administering medications according to owner instructions.
Information Ella M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, allergies, fears, and favorite activities. I also like to know if they have any special behaviors, such as escaping doors, guarding food, anxiety around strangers, or specific triggers. The more I know beforehand, the better I can provide safe, personalized care for your pet.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their needs and routine. A typical day includes feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. For cats, I make sure litter boxes stay clean and spend time playing or relaxing with them. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Experienced Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently help care for a high-energy Border Collie/Sheltie mix and three cats. I have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including administering transdermal and liquid medications and helping manage ongoing medical care for a cat with hyperthyroidism. I also helped care for a dog with hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, and liver disease, giving me experience following specialized care routines and monitoring pets with chronic health conditions. I’m comfortable reading cat and dog body language, handling multi-pet households, and caring for cats who are skilled escape artists. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Reviews
If you’re considering booking Ella, do it. We’ve relied on her for both house sitting and drop-in visits more times than we can count, and she’s never let us down. What stands out most is how comfortable our pets are with her. Some of our animals can be a little particular with new people, but they took to Ella right away. It’s obvious she has a natural connection with animals and knows how to make them feel safe and cared for. Beyond being great with pets, she’s respectful of our home, easy to work with, and always follows through on what she says she’ll do. When we’re away, we can actually enjoy our time knowing everything is taken care of. At this point, Ella feels less like a pet sitter and more like a trusted friend of the family. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
Ella has done drop-in visits and house sitting for us countless times, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and caring, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pets and home are in such good hands. Ella consistently goes above and beyond during her visits, making sure our pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She provides great updates and photos, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Our pets are always excited to see her and are relaxed and content when we return home. After so many positive experiences, we can confidently say that Ella is someone we trust completely. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. We’re so grateful to have found her!
