Highlights
Pet care experience
Full time lover to all animals! ^-^
I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was little. My experience with cats is greater only because I grew up with them, but my experience with dogs balances out because family and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pet's needs since I was little. As for exotic pets, I've cared for birds, reptiles, fish, arachnids , and insects both at home and on gigs. I currently work as a professional groomer at PetSmart Vacaville. I have also worked part time at a doggy daycare/boarding service as a lead for 3 years, which put me in the back with all their dogs. The job required me to perform grooming services such as nail trimmings, ear cleanings, brush outs, and baths. I've also had to treat dog injuries, break up fights and administer medications. I'm also studying my BS in Animal Health and Behavior through online university. Stay the night, drop in for a little, take them on a walk, ok I will as long as you and your pets are happy.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my home and my clients home the same way, they're always getting the best I can give them. Obviously client pet care is different only because I am then taking care of the pet based off what my client tells me about their specific needs. I also always find it important to build relationships with the pet so it can trust me and be less stressed/more comfortable during my stay.
Ratings and reviews
Ella took great care of our home and pets for a week. When we got home everything was as we left it and the animals were all happy and healthy.

Ella is an awesome pet sitter! She did exactly as i wanted, and my cockatiel was very happy when i returned. This is the second time I have used her and I will definitely use her again. Thank you Ella!
Ella did a great job dog/house sitting. She sent pics of Max which were very reassuring. This is the first time I left Max for more than 2 days. I would highly recommend Ella!

Schedule
I work in the salon at PetSmart Vacaville Mon - Fri 9:30am - 6pm (Sats and Suns are free except occasional church on Sun). If I need to leave for errands or something I will always make sure your pet(s) are fed and properly cared for before leaving at any time during my stay. When I'm house sitting, I'm basically living in your home with your pet while you're away so all of my unoccupied free time is spent with them. Depending on the distance I can do morning Drop-Ins within the time frame 5am - 7am (Weekend is open availability) I can do any evenings after 6pm - 1am (Weekend is open availability) Sundays are pretty much free except for like early mid day so I can Drop-Ins within the time frame 6am - 7:30am, 2pm - 1am. Times can always be discussed in more detail one on one. I will communicate availability with you if you're curious.

- It's always important to know about any medical conditions or needs beforehand so I can understand what your dog or cat will personally need. Of course daily routines and basic needs are a must for any pet, along with how well the dog(s) interact with people and other dogs so I can properly prepare before going out with the dog and properly take care of it. It's also important for me to know and understand how comfortable any cat in the home is with strangers so I know and understand it's boundaries, the same goes for any other exotic pets that may be included in the stay.
