Hi, I'm Ellen! I'm a veterinary student at the University of Nottingham with hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I've always loved animals, and becoming a vet has been my dream for years. Looking after pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I know how difficult it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so my aim is to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while keeping their routine as normal as I can. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're happy and well looked after. As part of my veterinary training, I'm confident handling dogs and cats with different temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets and those who may need a little extra patience. I'm also experienced administering oral and injectable medications and am happy caring for pets with additional medical needs or following post-operative care instructions where appropriate. I have previous paid experience with dog walking and pet care, and I always prioritise your pet's wellbeing, safety and happiness. Whether that's long walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I've recently finished my veterinary placements and will be completing a research project from home until the end of September, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime, evening and weekend availability. I'm respectful of clients' homes, reliable, communicative and treat every pet as if they were my own. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet!
