Availability
I aim to structure my week around the furry friends I care for and respond quickly to requests. While I’m usually available from mid-morning on weekdays, I can often accommodate early or later bookings — just ask! I’m happy to support walks, daycare, or stays, and I adapt to pets’ routines so they feel relaxed and at home.

About Ella-Marie M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm careful, calm and very much a 'doors-checked-twice' sort of a person. Whether in my home or yours, I take safety seriously: leads checked, doors secured, meds or routines followed precisely. I try to create a calm environment where pets are comfortable and treated with genuine affection – comfort, calm, and cuddles are always part of the plan.

Information Ella-Marie M. would like to know about your pet
Please do share routines, health needs, anxieties and quirks. I tailor care to each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved — fuss, calm, and cuddles included.
A typical day
A typical day is a mix of calm company and playful energy: walks, cuddles, supervised play, and quiet downtime. I love sending photos and updates so you know your pets are happy, relaxed, and genuinely cared for — whether chasing a ball, snoozing in a sunbeam, or plotting the next snack.

Reviews
Lolly seemed to have a great time staying with Ella-Marie. Lots of lovely walks and a visit to the beach her very favourite thing. Ella-Marie kept me updated with photos which was very much appreciated.

Bailey had a wonderful stay and was very well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos which were really reassuring. It was clear he was getting plenty of walks, attention and care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend. Thank you for taking such great care of Bailey! 🐾


Ella was a great catsitter, came round for a quick visit before looking after they cats so they could meet Ella. The photos and updates sent were really appreciated and incredibly cute. Thank you so much for looking after our beasts, and we hope to book you again in the future!

I was absolutely over the moon with the level of care and attention my cat Charlie received from Ella-Marie. It’s clear that she is well experienced in animal care and I have no doubt in my mind she made Charlie feel comfortable. Leaving him when I go away is always the hardest part and it really helps my peace of mind to know he’s in good hands. Additionally, the photos are an added bonus and much appreciated. I’d definitely recommend Ella-Marie and would gladly use her services again.
