I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule, and am keen to fill my spare time doing something I enjoy. I am happy to do early mornings or late nights for dog walking as I get out on a lot of walks anyway.

Calm and Compassionate Care

Pet care experience

I have a real knack for making animals feel comfortable and calm. I form bonds of trust quickly with animals. A previous housemate of mine had an extremely anxious cat. He would seek me out within a week of my moving in.

Ellen did a great job of making sure our super shy cat was well fed and watered. She's polite, trustworthy and punctual we would highly recommend.

This is the first time we have booked Ellen and it was for just an overnight stay. We have two senior Labs 13 and 11yrs the 13 year old has arthritis so we said not to walk for long which Ellen did for us she kept us up to date with photos which was lovely. Unfortunately our 13yr old Lab was very unsettled overnight possibly due to anxiety and kept barking. This she hasn’t done before unless it’s to go out but she wouldn’t settle which makes me think separation anxiety due to her age. Ellen kept me informed and reassured us that she had experienced this in other dogs also. I hope it hasn’t put her off sitting for us again because it looks like they all had fun.

Thank you Ellen for looking after my shy springer! Your calm and confident demeanor was reassuring for an anxious owner and dog. Ellen had very clear communication too, and took nice clear photos showing my pup playing and receiving chin scratches.
