Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Sitter
I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering at my local SPCA, and pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. One of my most rewarding experiences was fostering a pregnant rescue dog who gave birth while in my care. I helped care for both the mother and her puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborn puppies and attentive, compassionate care. Through volunteering at the SPCA, I've worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Combined with my pet sitting experience, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. What sets me apart is my rescue and foster experience, my patience, and my genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and always provide dependable care, regular photo updates, and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing reliable, attentive care. My priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, and I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Ella is amazing with animals! As a teenager, Ella leased a horse for multiple years and cared for it as if it were her own. She also cared for multiple shelter dogs during Covid when they couldn't be kept at the shelter. One of the dogs was pregnant and gave birth in Ella's bedroom. She cared for the dog and the puppies until she could find a home for the dog and the babies. Such a great person to care for your pet!

Schedule
I'm home from university for the summer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I currently work part-time at a restaurant a few shifts each week, with shifts typically lasting no more than five hours, so I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the same love and care I would give my own.

- To provide the best care possible, I'd love to know about your pet's daily routine, personality, and any special needs before we meet. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, exercise preferences, medications, allergies, favorite toys or treats, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. It's also helpful to know how they interact with other people, dogs, or animals, as well as any commands they know. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
