Pet care experience

Experienced caregiver for all pets

I live in Indianapolis with my husband and our two cats! We can’t yet afford our own dog, but I always jump at the chance to walk with, jog with, pet, feed, and love on other dogs! (See photos for proof). However, cats really have a special place in my heart. I also worked at two different veterinarian’s offices in 2020, 2023, and 2026 where we cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I am pet sitting while job searching, so I’m available to give your pets whatever they may need, whether that be medicine, special food, lots of bathroom breaks, or just some affection. Thanks for reading!

Safety, trust & environment

In my clients’ home, I will pay attention to all notes and requests from the owner. If an owner says “no dogs on the couch”, as much as it pains me, that is what I will follow!

Ellen was attentive, a great communicator, and over exceeded my expectations while caring for my kitty, Lucy. So thankful that I could relax on my trip away from home, and know that Lu was in good hands! (:

Ellen is great with pets, and is a thorough communicator. She was patient with our dog and paid close attention to his body language. We would recommend her to anyone!

Ellen is a caring, responsible friend to any animal she encounters and a nurturing mama to her own two cats. She is kind, a great communicator, and dedicated to any task that comes her way. I always know that my dog is safe and happy with her and he’s always ecstatic to see her.

Ellen has watched my dog Ellie multiple times, and Ellie has grown to love her. She talks to Ellie, anticipates her needs, and loves walking, jogging, and playing with her. Ellen is also just easy to get along with. Would recommend!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can account for; also please let me know if they have any SUPER special needs, like they’ll only eat breakfast with cheese on it, or that their reflection scares them, things of that nature.
