Pet care experience
I've taken care of my own dog, Charlie, now a 9-year-old English Pointer, since I was 14 years old. He required a lot of exercise (walks twice a day) but also due to other complications being a purebred dog, he needed a lot of attention and care, as well as medication twice a day for the past 6 years. I also have experience with cats, as I grew up with a Siamese and Burmese (both purebred, and have very strong but different personalities), which I then had the joy of experiencing taking care of two litters of kittens with my Burmese cat. Thereafter I have fostered puppies (range of ages from 3 and a half weeks old to 1 year old) for 5 years for multiple dog organisations. I have dog sat for a family that had a very old and blind dog, whom needed special care as he was blind and needed help getting outside, which I would do early every morning. I also completed a job shadow of a nurse in a veterinary practice, which needed caring, teamwork and interacting with pet-owner clients. I have experience ranging from very young dogs and cats to very old, and also those who require a lot of attention and those who do not.
Reviews
Ella is an awesome puppysitter! In the midst of our stress about being left without a sitter, Ella was able to help us at short notice. She had a calm and reassuring attitude and immediately made a good impression on both us and Sokka. Her experience with dogs and puppies was evident in her interactions with Sokka. We were able to make clear arrangements with her, and she regularly sent us updates and photos :)
Ella was amazing with Oliva! Took care of all of her needs and Oliva absolutely loved her! She is reliable, loving and attentive. Will definitely book again! 🥰
Ella is very reliable as a pet-caregiver. She is always on time for arrangements. She is meticulous and competent about special needs such medication administration. She is an active person, so able to handle high-energy animals. She loves animals and they love her!

I am very easy going and comfortable with pets of all ages. I am deeply passionate about helping and working with animals and I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity I get to spend time with them!
Information Ella W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviour that I can count for. It would also be important to know the times of day for walking and preferred walking location, as well as feeding times and any other needs of the dog.
A typical day
I love going on walks, so going to a park nearby to check out all the new smells and other dogs would be a treat. I love to play fetch with a tennis ball or any other toys your dog likes to play play.

Availability
I am currently a masters student at Leiden University. I study full-time, but as my program is predominantly self-study I have a lot of free time in which I am available to play and look after your pets! I am free most weekdays and the weekend (except some Sundays during the day).
