I work in healthcare part time currently and my schedule is set meaning I can provide pet care services outside of these hours. From Sept 1st I will work (week 1) Tuesday 12pm - Wednesday 8am, Saturday 12pm - Sunday 5pm, (week 2) Thursday 12pm - Friday 8am. This leaves me reasonably flexible for short house sitting stays and drop ins. Please message me about your particular needs and we can always try and work something out!

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 took great care of Charlie (our cat) and sent regular updates. She also kept our garden alive through a heat wave and hose pipe watering ban! The house was very tidy when we returned. I would be happy to engage her again.

Ellen has sat our dogs a few times now and we are really happy with her level of care and responsiveness. We enjoy the updates and photos and we came back to a clean and well looked after house with two happy dogs. She was very kind to administer eye drops for one of our dogs and even watered our plants in the heat wave which was really appreciated. Thank you!!

Ellen’s communication was impeccable and she was able to help us at incredibly short notice. She sent some lovely pictures of my two doggies that seemed very happy. Such a reassuring service, will use again and would recommend!

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.
