Safety, trust & environment

Since I'm home most of the day, I can quickly notice any changes in behavior and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is safe and cared for.

Information Ella V. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know what level of activity the pet prefers or accustomed to so I don't over stimulate the dog that is senior or provide enough exercise for a younger pup.

A typical day

I start the day with a potty break and a walk for a dog(s), followed by breakfast and freshwater. Cats are fed and litter boxes are checked and cleaned. I spend a little time with each pet so they start the day feeling comfortable and cared for. Midday, while I'm working, I am still present and attentive. I provide quick potty breaks and/or short walks, playtime & interaction, check-ins to make sure everyone is happy. Pets aren't left alone for long periods. Evening is dinner, a final walk or potty break, and wind-down time.

About me

Pet care experience

Hi! I specialize in in-home care for both cats and dogs, so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I also work remotely from home, which means I have flexible schedule and can give your pets more consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the dat-not just quick visits. I've had my German Shephard girl, Ava, for 15 years since she was a pup. We have opened pet sitting business when lived in LA area (petsdigthis.c0m). When we moved to Orange County, Capistrano beach area I had to concentrate on my girl as she slowed down and we took little break from taking care of other doggies and concentrated more on senior life with my girl, as she needed more one on one attention. More about me and my hikes: petsdigthis com https://www.rover.com/sit/ella19101 My profile link offers pet parents a $20 off their first booking with Rover. And if they find another sitter, you’ll get a $10 referral bonus.

We are SO grateful for Ella. She came and literally stayed at our home for 3 days to watch our kittens while we were out of town. When we came home the kittens we so relaxed and happy... like, "hey what are you doing home so soon? " ha! She followed all directions and communicated with us the entire time with pictures and updates. We will definately be using Ella in the future. We are thrilled!!

Ella V had her hands full for sure with my three big dogs but she easily had my dogs EATING out of her hands! minutes of her arrival! Ella took my dogs on multiple walks over the time she was here caring for them. When I returned from my trip all three were quiet and calm. No questions about it Ella will always be first choice for pet sit whenever we have to be away. Thank you Ella! You did a wonderful job! CS in San Clemente

Ella had excellent rapport with Cinder, a blind 20 lb. Terrier mix. She sent me pictures frequently and even came by before her sitting to meet Cinder. She if definitely my go to sitter in the future!

I recently had knee surgery and can’t give the proper walks my energetic dog needs. Ella has been taking my rescue Lab/mix “Gidget” on long walks/hikes 2 times a week for the past couple months… what a wonderful animal loving person she is! Gidget is usually shy around strangers and takes quite awhile to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Ella immediately! Gidget gets so excited when it’s time for her next adventure with Ella, to the beach or hikes thru the local trails behind Capo… and comes home with such a happy & relaxed look on her face it just warms my heart. I have nothing but good things to say about Ella’s services and have recommended her to all my friends and family with fur babies. A+++!!!
