Safety, trust & environment

For dog care, I typically take at least one walk each day on my own time, so bringing a dog along would be no issue. For in-home services, I ensure pets are let outside for bathroom breaks, receive playtime and exercise, and are given plenty of attention and affection. This may include a walk if requested by the owner. I am also able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, during which I can quietly work on homework while ensuring the pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.

Information Ella W. would like to know about your pet

Some information I would need to know about a pet in advance includes their temperament, how they respond to and behave around strangers, and their comfort level with other dogs. I would also need clear expectations regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, time requirements, and the use of treats. Additionally, it is important to know whether the pet has any history of biting, aggression, or other behavioral concerns.

A typical day

I will provide attentive and responsible care by taking dogs on regular walks, engaging them in play activities such as tug-of-war and fetch, and ensuring they receive ample companionship, affection, and supervision. I will spend quality time with each dog, offering interaction, comfort, and consistent care to support their physical and emotional well-being.

Pet care experience

I have extensive pet care experience that began at a young age. I started my own dog-walking business at 12 years old, providing regular walks and basic care for multiple dogs. Since the age of 14, I have had a dog in my family and have been responsible for daily care, including feeding, exercise, and companionship. I have also provided overnight dog-sitting in clients’ homes on one or two occasions, ensuring pets were cared for in a calm, familiar environment. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently a college student majoring in nursing with a flexible schedule, and I am hoping to fill some of my free time caring for and spending time with pet friends.

She was very accommodating and flexible last minute for us! She’s super quick to respond! Didn’t have any issues!! Would love to have her watch Blue again sometime.

Ella took care of our dog Lulu while we were on vacation. She stayed in our home and made it easier for Lulu while we were away versus her being at a kennel. Lulu was able to be in her home and enjoyed Ella spoiling her rather than being in a kennel for 10 days. We have Ella come back every time we can!
