More than a sitter: trusted friend for pets
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Ellen. With a broad experience in pet care, I've looked after various animals, from Romanian street dogs to the most serene older dogs. Whether it’s a dog that enjoys leisurely walks or one that needs extra attention, I’m adaptable and attentive to their needs. My care extends to cats as well, handling everything from the more reserved types to those that enjoy human company. I’m also experienced with a range of other pets, including reptiles and guinea pigs, ensuring they receive the appropriate care and attention. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for your pets, treating them with the care and respect they deserve. If you’re looking for reliable and flexible pet care, I’d be glad to help. I aim to be more than just a sitter; I strive to be a friend to your pets, providing them with a positive and enriching experience.
Reviews
Ellen was great with my 4 month old puppy for the whole day whilst I was at a wedding and we have rebooked already. Highly recommend Ellen to look after your doggy
We have known Ellen for approx. 5 years during which time she has looked after our two cats on numerous occasions whilst we have been on holiday. She has also walked our dog who is always happy to see her as is our 4 year old grandson.
Ellen has been helping to take care of our pets and walk our dogs for the last 8 years. She came to us with little animal knowledge (other than reptiles!) but has learnt very quickly and become confident around all our pets. We aren’t your average family with pets, we have dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, mice, hamsters and lots of guinea pigs. Ellen is used to caring for and cleaning all these pets. She regularly walks our dogs, all rescues from abroad, we have elderly dogs, very nervous dogs and reactive dogs. Ellen can manage them all, and adapts to the needs of each dog. We also run Nevilles Nest Guinea Pig Rescue, Ellen is an important member of our team, cleaning and caring for 40 to 60 guinea pigs. Ellen is confident giving medication and syringe feeding poorly guinea pigs. She is reliable, trustworthy and calm in difficult situations. When we go on holiday Ellen is often left with all our pets, including the guinea pig rescue. She’s very capable of all the feeding, cleaning and dog walks, which is a full time job! I wholeheartedly recommend Ellen to take care of your pets, she will be happy to learn what your pets need, and ensure they enjoy their time with her!
Ellen has been walking Wesley for me for over a year now and I have been very happy with the service she provides. Wesley is a shy dog that takes a while to build up trust with people he doesn’t know, but Ellen has been extremely patient with him and built up a great relationship. She has looked after him while I've been on holiday and has sent me regular updates of how he’s getting on. When my mum was unwell and I needed dog care at very short notice, Ellen was always happy to help out. She has also even provided a taxi service to little Wesley, dropping him off to visit my dad regularly?!
About Ellen N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I prioritise their routine, safety, and comfort. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules, ensure they get enough exercise, and provide companionship to keep them happy. I monitor their health, keep their living area clean, and stay in touch with pet owners to offer peace of mind. Safety and attention to detail are paramount, with a focus on a stress-free experience for pets and their owners.
Information Ellen N. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with reactive and rescue dogs so am happy to look after dogs that may need a little more time to adjust and I am more than happy to discuss their specific needs with you.
A typical day
I do everything from playing with toys they like to taking them to a secure dog field to let them stretch their legs to giving them a fuss in their favourite lounging spot
