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.

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.

Brilliant, cannot recommend Ella-Marie enough. Reliable, responsive, and accommodating. Our two dogs were extremely well cared for, they came back very happy and lovely they had a little holiday themselves whilst we were away. Excellent updates including pictures and a video. Pick up and drop off service was excellent also! Will definitely use again. Thank you so much Ella-Marie.

Ella looked after our gorgeous gentle giant like he was her own , she loved him so much it was plain to see how comfortable he was in her home and out on walks with her. She was very relaxed and confident handler and showed him so much love and care. He settled in and fit right into her home. Ella kept me updated as knew and appreciated my anxiety when left him as love him so much. She was also so kind when I told her of some sad news I received whilst on holiday. She is a gem and I have no hesitation next time we are going away to take him once again to stay with Ella.

Would highly recommend Ella-Marie. She was always on time and left feedback after every walk. Photos and updates always gave us peace of mind whilst we were away that Harley was looked after on his walks.
