Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws and relax with Ellen!
i’ve been passionate about all animal kind since childhood. i grew up always out in nature and going to anywhere i could see animals. the highlight of my childhood was meeting my hero david attenborough! my best friend growing up was my jack russell terrier alfie. i often cared for friends and family members pets being from a large family who knew how much it meant to me to be around animals. i offer dogs lots of fun and support, i understand the individual and work to find what motivates them. i can adapt to most needs and love making dogs happy. a fun fact about me is i’m using money i make from this service to save towards my wedding - i love the idea that looking after my favourite animal can fund my special day!

Ratings and reviews
Ellen is fantastic! She & her partner took such great care of our girls while we were on holiday. She sent lots of photo and video updates of their daily snuggles and out and about adventures. We felt such peace of mind knowing the girls were in good hands with Ellen. Highly recommend!
Pablo and Catalina had a brilliant stay. I couldn't believe how quickly they seemed to settled - they're chilled at the best of times but this was next level! Ellen sent me lovely photos and updates, and I felt really relaxed knowing they were happy and being taken such good care of. Thank you! 🐈⬛
Ellen picked up this last minute request and has been amazing. Prompt with messaging and arranging a meet before the sit. Arrived on time, really caring, kind and fantastic with Benji. We got lovely updates throughout her sit, and we were able to relax knowing Benji was well cared for. She was really respectful of our home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. If you’re looking for a kind compassionate dog sitter, Ellen is definitely the one! Thank you Ellen.
Another fun weekend for Fleur with Ellie. Lots of trips out, including a bus ride and a new duck toy for Fleur. The care Ellie has shown to Fleur has been exceptional As soon as we arrived a Ellie's, Fleur ran to her door, tail wagging, so obviously pleased to be there. A sign of how happy Fleur is in Ellie’s care. Ellie is a fantastic sitter. Anyone who uses her service is very lucky.
Another very happy stay for Fleur with Ellie snd Jimmy. As soon as Fleur realised where she was she ran to Ellie’s door with her tail wagging. I don’t think her tail stopped wagging all weekend. She so enjoyed her visit and had an exciting trip on a bus, which she loved. Ellie and Jimmy are the best sitters I have used. They are so kind and take so much trouble to make Fleur’s visits happy.
Ellie and Jimmy were fantastic. It was obvious as soon as Fleur and I walked through the door that I was leaving her with kind and caring people. Fleur loved being with them, as I could see from the pictures and videos they sent me. I am delighted to have them as Fleur’s sitters over Christmas. She will have a wonderful time and reward them with her best cuddles. Anyone who uses Ellie and Jimmy as pet sitters can be sure that their furry child will have the best possible care.

Schedule
working from home throughout the week means that i am always local and can easily fit care throughout a day/week. myself and my partner love to go for long walks and get the most out of our beautiful local area. however, a walk is never complete without a canine companion! we’re lucky enough to live in between two royal parks (bushy and richmond) where we spend hours exploring. also always love a cosy weekend night in with a pup or cat to snuggle and spoil.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
i live in a large flat with cosy spaces to snuggle down, big windows to sit at and watch the world go by and plenty of space to play. myself and my partner both work from home and can have a pet sat in a room with either of us, or free range throughout the flat, whichever is their/your preference. i am always respectful of someone else’s home, i understand it’s not easy allowing a new person into your space and am keen to honour the trust given. your home is your castle and i will treat your pets like royalty!
A typical day
myself and my partner are young high energy people who are super sociable and love an excuse to get out for a long trek and appreciate all the nature (this of course includes dogs we come across). at home we can keep your pet mentally stimulated with all kinds of play and we’re working towards building up a cache of toys to suit all types!
