Pet care experience

Hello pet lovers!

I am a 22-year-old college graduate living at home in Hamden. I’ve grown up with dogs of my own and have been caring (feeding/walking/washing) for them since I can remember. We’ve never had less than 2 dogs in the house (once even fostered a 3rd!) so I’m great at handling and multitasking with more than one pet. I have been using this app since 2023, though I’ve been caring for other peoples’ pets since I was 15, so I have lots of experience. Feel free to reach out!!

Ella's wonderful! My dog Mika bonded with her right away and I had full confidence that Ella would take good care of her. Unfortunately, Ella is moving out of the area but I wish her the best in her new locale. The dog owners who hire her there will be lucky!

Ella did a great job staying with my dogs and cats! She made sure to spend time with all of them and they were all very happy when I returned from my trip.

Ella was great with my pup! Her communication was great too. Will certainly have her come stay the next time I’m away.

Drop-In Visits • Oct 04, 2025

This was my first time using Ella to care for Mika on a 2-hr drop-in visit and it went very well. She genuinely connected with Mika and took her on 2 good walks as well as feeding her dinner. I'll definitely be hiring Ella again!

Ella house sit and took care of our kitten for a week. She was punctual, professional, and responsible. Our kitten seemed to warm up to her quickly. She shared pics and texted when it looked like a package we received while away was damaged. Our house was just as we left it. Would use her again in a heartbeat.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently on the job hunt so I have lots of availability. I am happy to stay overnight with your pet or come for daily check-ins/walks. I am unable to board your pet at my own house as I have two dogs of my own.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure your dog(s) get everything they need whether they have to go out, walk, eat, or want a little treat for being good!

A typical day

I always love playing with my puppies back home and I know a ton of new tricks to teach, if your dog(s) is/are up for it!

I have also grown up with dogs who are not friendly with other dogs, so I am no stranger to dealing with that, if needed.
