Pet care experience

TCU grad student who LOVES animals

Hi! My name is Ella, and I absolutely adore pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently getting my master's in Strategic Communication here at TCU and recently retired as a D1 athlete. With all my newfound free time, I thought I would put it to good use and help the people in my community with pet care! I have a rescue cat whom I love and have helped grow from a timid cat dumped into a garage into a cuddly, happy, and adventurous house cat. Additionally, I have had a family dog at home since I was an infant, and know all about the daily duties of owning a dog. I am an animal lover at heart, and know how much furbabies mean to their parents. I am compassionate, patient, and communicative (As my degree suggests!). It will be my number one priority to communicate with you as quickly as possible while your pet(s) are under my care. If you are looking for someone with free time, who loves animals and has experience with cats AND dogs, and who has their phone ready at all times, look no further!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Given your pet's temperament, I can crate/kennel dogs if necessary and will respect your home and yard. I will leave photos and notes of my visit/walk and make sure to alert you of any new or possibly worrying behaviors I see.

It was such a pleasure to have Ella watch our two large dogs while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent lots of adorable photos. When we returned from our trip, we could tell that our dogs had been loved on and were happy. She took time to play with, and even cuddle, with them. I would highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and professional caretaker for your animals. We will definitely be using Ella again, I know my dogs will be excited!

Ella is so sweet and after meeting her I immediately felt confident with her helping take care of my senior dog. I came home and Petie was happy. She shared photos of their walk and maintained his schedule and our routine. I will definitely use Ella again in the future!
