Dog skills

6 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs (large and small) and 4 cats of my own. With this, I won't offer in home care due to the stress this can cause your pet. However, I am comfortable with leashing, caging, giving meds, scooping liter pans, and all other responsibilities that come with pet care!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've always had dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, you name it! I have been picking up gigs dog/cat sitting since I was 12. My family, friends, and neighbors have had my help and continue to use me as their first option when help is needed! I'd love to get to know your furry friend :)

Ella Shirkey watched over my dogs for two weeks last summer while I was away overseas. She did a tremendous job showing up on time, and staying with dogs more than we asked for. She gave us daily picture updates, showcasing the dogs well being. We also have cameras in our house, and when monitored showed her being extremely kind and loving towards the dogs. She kept up with feeding schedules and regular walks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with pets!

When I was at risk of having to give up my cat to the shelter I asked Ella to take him in for a few months. She welcomed him in immediately with open arms and took the best care of my little man. Sent me lots of pictures and gave him the absolute best care when I couldn’t. She was the absolute best foster mom!! Never had to worry about my baby with ella!!
