Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Lover
I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious pets, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience while warming up to someone new. I also have experience volunteering with shelter and foster dogs, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to body language and let each animal adjust at their own pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, enrichment, and following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always send plenty of photos and updates while they’re in my care!

Ratings and reviews
Ella was great! Maisy really took to her immediately and I had complete peace of mind leaving town for a few days. She sent lots of photos of my happy kitty :) Definitely recommend!
We boarded our dog with Ella and couldn't have been happier. She took great care of him, and we never had to wonder how he was doing. She sent us photos throughout his stay, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He came home relaxed and happy. We'd absolutely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Ella did an amazing job watching my dog cooper over labor day weekend!! We had lost signal during the duration of our trip, but I had full trust in her to take extra great care of our Cooper!
Ella is amazing with our golden retriever! There were some thunderstorms this past weekend when she was at Ella’s, and Ella took great care to comfort her and help her to not feel scared through the thunder noise. I’m so thankful for her for that! We’ve booked with Ella a few times now and have always been pleased, and we’ll definitely book again in the future!
Ella did an excellent job meeting and spending time with my dog Cooper! We are looking forward to having my dog spend time with his new friend!
Ella did a great job watching my two cats and kept me up to date with their goings-on daily. I felt like I could relax knowing they were in excellent hands. 💕

Schedule
I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide consistent and attentive pet care throughout the week. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I have time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I know how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine while their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their days as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m dependable with scheduled visits and will always communicate with you if anything comes up.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all care instructions and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and needs. I’m patient with nervous or shy pets and pay close attention to body language so I can make sure they feel comfortable with me. I keep their space clean, provide appropriate playtime and bathroom breaks, and send regular photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I’m also happy to accommodate specific routines or preferences whenever possible.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is based around your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible! Their day can include walks, potty breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I love spending one-on-one time with each pet and getting to know their personality and favorite activities. I also make sure they have plenty of time to relax and rest throughout the day. I’ll send lots of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of love! 🐾❤️

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, energy level, and favorite activities! Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers I should be aware of. I’d also like to know how they typically do with new people and other animals, as well as anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me feel like home.
