Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and keeping pets comfortable and calm. I enjoy building a consistent routine, giving pets the attention they need, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in the pet owner’s home, so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, play, and exercise, and I always prioritize a calm and clean environment. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets, and I’m happy to provide basic medication support if needed. With my rescue background, I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, treating them like part of my family.

Information Ellen M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about your pet’s temperament, what they like to eat, their favorite toys and activities, and how they usually behave. I also like to know if they have any health conditions, allergies, take any medication, or have specific habits or quirks. Basic details about their routine help me provide the best and safest care possible.

A typical day

I love combining physical exercise with mental stimulation through walks, enrichment games, and playful training with simple commands. I also focus on affection and comfort, with cuddles and gentle attention, helping your pet feel calm, safe, and loved throughout the day.

Pet care experience

What truly sets me apart is that caring for animals has been part of my life since I was 12 years old, helping my mother rescue dogs and cats from abandonment and abuse. I grew up in a home in Brazil with five dogs and eleven cats, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. This background taught me patience, responsibility, and how to read animal behavior closely. I have hands-on experience with shy or traumatized pets, energetic puppies who need structure and basic training reinforcement, and senior pets who require extra gentleness, medication support, and a calm, loving environment. For me, pet care isn’t just a job — it’s something I’ve lived and loved for years.

Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Gabriela et je viens partager mon expérience avec Ellen en tant que gardienne d’animaux. Ellen est très affectueuse et responsable. Elle aime les animaux, surtout les chiens et les chats. Quand j’ai eu besoin de voyager, elle s’est occupée de Bailey, mon chien aveugle et diabétique. À mon retour, il allait très bien et il avait adoré la compagnie et les soins d’Ellen. Vous pouvez faire confiance aux soins d’Ellen.
