I have an extremely flexible schedule, making pet care one of my top priorities! I attend 2-hour classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with an online class on Friday. I've taken a break from my part-time job to focus solely on studying and, of course, providing loving care to pets. With my own car, I can easily travel to you, and I am usually free on weekends. On Sundays, I attend church from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, but I am available before and after. I'd love to help care for your furry friend whenever you need it!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important it is to feel secure when someone is caring for your pets in your home. I'm committed to maintaining your trust by treating your home with utmost respect, keeping it clean and tidy, and adhering to any boundaries or house rules you set. I will bring my own food, so you won't need to worry about accommodating me. I thrive on schedules and rules but am also adaptable if anything unexpected arises. I'll have my phone with me at all times and am happy to send updates, photos, Facetime, or chat to keep you in the loop and ease your mind. I also understand it can feel a little strange having a stranger in your home. I can assure you I take this responsibility seriously. I will NEVER have anyone over, will NOT share your address, and will always treat your space with care and professionalism. Your pet(s) and home will be in safe, loving hands.

Information Elle S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, preferences, or behaviours I can accommodate. I have experience with dogs that have anxiety, like my own pup, Brutus, so I understand the importance of finding the perfect sitter who will provide patience and care. I'm open to watching any breed, from the tiniest toy breeds to the biggest gentle giants. Every dog is unique, and I'd love to know anything to help make their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Your pup's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

A typical day

Every day with your pup will be filled with love and tailored energy and preferences! For energetic dogs, we'll play fetch, tug-of-war, or any of their favourite games. For more laid-back pups, I'm all about relaxing on the couch, sharing cuddles, and watching a good movie together. We'll also enjoy long, refreshing walks to stretch our legs and explore the outdoors. And yes, I love having conversations with dogs. They may not talk back, but they're the best listeners! Whether it's playtime, walks, or quiet bonding moments, I'll ensure your furry friend feels happy and loved.

Pet care experience

Hey, I'm Elle! I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and I'm now a proud dog mom to my stubborn boy, Brutus. I have years of experience walking and sitting dogs of all ages and personalities. Brutus has anxiety on walks, especially around other dogs, so I understand how to handle different temperaments with care and patience. With five siblings and four additional family dogs, I've always been the go-to sitter and walker when they're busy. I treat every dog I care for as my own, like the playful, loving children they often are! As a college student studying social work, I know how busy life can get. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family member, whether they need extra attention as a puppy or a little extra love as a senior. Let me help make your week easier and your pup happier!

Elle was absolutely fantastic watching our dog and cat over the weekend! We came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, which was such a wonderful bonus. Our dog clearly loved having her as a cuddle buddy, and both animals were incredibly happy and relaxed when we returned. Elle provided excellent communication throughout the trip, giving us peace of mind while we were away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter!

Elle watched our boy Petey in our home while we were away for a family vacation for a week. Elle exceeded our expectations! She provided updates and photos and left our house very neat and clean. We will definitely be rebooking with Elle!

Elle took great care of our 2 dogs and our house for 2 weeks while we were away! We came home to happy dogs and a house cleaner than we left it! Elle was great at updating us and sent lots of photos! We’ll definitely use her again in the future. Thanks Elle!!
