Pet care experience

Ellen's Comfort Care for Cats.

I have cared for a friend’s cats on a long-term basis (four months) while she was recovering from a broken ankle; short-term when a friend was out of town on a few occasions. I kept in touch each day with my friends while their cats were in my care, including sending pics of their furry friends. I have two cats and have been a cat owner for many years. I understand the importance of providing a good quality of life for them, including veterinary care, proper feeding, safety and play time. I insure my own cats are well cared for when I am away.

Safety, trust & environment

I would be providing drop-in visits for cat care. I would not be able to bring cats to my home, as I am now in an apartment with a limit of two cats; I have two of my own.

I'm so thankful Ellen was available to pet sit for my cats. She provided wonderful care for them, and gave me updates each day.

Ellen has been great watching my cat a few times now, always sending updates and giving him lots of care and attention. My kitty also seems more calm after her visits!

Ellen was amazing with our three kitties while we were away for 4 days. She was so thorough and communicative, sharing pics and a message every day time she visited. It was so nice to have peace of mind knowing that they were in great hands. Thank you so much, Ellen!

Ellen, thank you so very much for the care and attention you provided to the kitties...such a milestone that Malia appeared, and another for her to want your attention! The pics and updates are much appreciated. I can tell they are comfortable with and appreciate you! 😻 The plants look great, too! You are the best! 💕

Ellen is amazing! My kitties don't like many people, but they love Miss Ellen. She takes such good care of them while we are gone, and when we return, they are happy to see us, and not stressed. I used to worry about them the whole time we were gone, but now, I look forward to the daily updates and pictures from Ellen, and enjoy my day knowing that they are safe and happy.
