I’m currently in graduate school and have a flexible schedule during the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Spending time outdoors with dogs is one of the ways I stay grounded and connected during long days of studying. I take my own dog to Point Isabel every day and especially enjoy relaxed neighborhood walks, outdoor time, and providing calm companionship and consistent care for pets while their owners are away.

About Ella M.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I approach pet care with patience, attentiveness, and respect for each animal’s unique temperament and nervous system. I’m especially comfortable with anxious, fearful, sensitive, or highly attuned dogs and aim to create an environment that feels calm, safe, and predictable. I pay close attention to body language, pacing, routines, and comfort levels, and I communicate clearly with owners so everyone feels at ease.

Thoughtful Care for Sensitive Dogs
Pet care experience
I’m currently in graduate school studying psychology and spend a lot of time outdoors walking, hiking, and regulating my own nervous system through movement and nature. Caring for dogs feels like a natural extension of that rhythm. I’m especially good with anxious, fearful, sensitive, or highly attuned dogs who benefit from calm, grounded, patient care. I understand how much animals communicate through energy, pacing, and nervous system cues, and I aim to create an experience that feels safe and steady for both pets and owners. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, overnight care, playtime, or simply a reliable and attentive presence while you’re away, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
Reviews
I had an amazing experience with our dog sitter Ella! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such caring and responsible hands!
