Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my approach is all about creating a familiar, comfortable environment for your dog. If they’re staying with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, dog-friendly space where they’re treated like family—lots of playtime, regular walks, and plenty of cuddles. I always keep routines consistent, from meal times to nap schedules, to ensure they feel at ease. If I’m visiting your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s daily routine, keeping everything as normal as possible. I offer regular updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. No matter where the care happens, I’m dedicated to giving them the love, attention, and routine they need.

Information Ella M. would like to know about your pet

It’s super important to know a few key things about a pet before watching them! I like to learn about their personality, favorite activities, any medical needs, and their daily routines. Knowing their preferences for food, toys, and exercise helps me create a comfortable, safe environment for them. It’s also helpful to know if they have any specific fears or quirks, so I can make sure to approach them in a way that feels secure and familiar to them.

A typical day

When watching pets, I love to keep them entertained with activities that match their personalities! For the playful pups, we'll go on long walks or play fetch. For more laid-back pets, I enjoy creating cozy cuddle sessions. I also love giving them a little extra pampering, like brushing and belly rubs, to make them feel extra special!"

Your dog’s new BFF when you’re away

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my deep understanding and love for dogs of all ages and needs. I’m not just a sitter – I’m a trusted companion who tailors every visit to your dog's unique personality. Whether it’s playful puppies needing extra training and attention, or senior dogs requiring gentle care and medication reminders, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and safe. I specialize in helping pups with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and ensuring they feel loved and secure when you’re away. You can trust that your dog will always be treated like family!

Ella was wonderful! She stayed in our home and watched our 2 dogs for 4 nights. I recommend her services and will use her again!

Ella watched my cat for about a week, and house sat for me. She did a wonderful job! My cat is very high maintenance, and she handled her so well. She kept me updated daily, and even sent me videos of her! Will definitely always be using Ella, whenever I am out of town!

Ella is amazing with pets! On multiple occasions I have asked her to watch my dog, Max. He is always well taken care of and loved by Ella. She is always sure to clean up after Max on walks and spends time with him to get his energy out.
