Highlights
Pet care experience
Walk. Wag. Repeat.
Hi! I’m a devoted “dog mom” who believes pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I have experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, including dogs with behavioral challenges. My own dog has taught me a great deal about patience, understanding, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m also well-versed in keeping curious pups out of trouble—including my own little chicken-bone pirate! I’ve cared for multiple cats as well, so I’m comfortable with both canine and feline companions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply happiest curled up next to someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they need. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away, and I’ll do my best to give you that peace of mind—with plenty of love, attention, and updates along the way.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bodhi had such a fun time with Elle and her pup Boss. Bodhi was so well cared for during his stay. Elle sent many photos, brought him to the park to play ball, and Bodhi played so well with Boss. I highly recommend Elle for any services you may need. She’s kind, attentive and loving to all animals. 10 stars! Bodhi will definitely be back.
Elle was a fantastic sitter. I hadn’t yet left my 9mo old puppy with anyone she hadn’t known for a while. Elle and her were fantastic together. I can tend to be a little Type B, and Elle was patience with me every step of the way.
Ele was wonderful! She took great care of our cat, sent pictures, communicated clearly, and treated our home and cat as if they were her own. We really appreciated her and would absolutely use her again!
Ellenor took amazing care of my cats while we were away! She was incredibly responsive and sent lots of updates. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!
Elle has cared for our boy Coop on several occasions and he’s always had a blast! I trust her to take care of him as if he was her own and I have peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. It’s very clear she loves animals and I would use her over and over again for Cooper!
My dog rose can be hesitant when meeting new people but instantly took to Elle. Which I think speaks to her comforting and kind nature. Rose looks forward to her times with Elle in the afternoons and I can rest assured that my pup is being taken care of and loved on! I would highly recommend Elle!

Schedule
I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate midday walks, check-ins, and other care needs throughout the day. I’m also able to work from a pet owner’s home when needed, which is a great option for animals who are more comfortable having company for longer periods of time. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and provide the consistency and companionship they’re used to.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their individual routines, preferences, and house rules. I prioritize safety, consistency, and plenty of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make an effort to keep pets on their normal schedule, including meals, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and downtime. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and opportunities for exercise and play. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each one feel happy, comfortable, and secure.
Pets
A typical day
I love finding ways to keep pets both physically active and mentally engaged! With dogs, I especially enjoy going on walks where they have plenty of time to sniff and explore. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, and allowing dogs to use their noses is a great way to help them feel fulfilled and tired in a healthy way. Depending on the dog, I also enjoy incorporating puzzle toys, snuffle mats, treat games, training, and plenty of playtime into their day. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to spend time relaxing together and providing companionship. I love creating enrichment opportunities for cats, too, whether that’s interactive toys, play sessions, treat puzzles, or simply giving them attention and letting them engage at their own pace. Every pet has a different personality and energy level, so I tailor activities to what they enjoy most and what makes them feel comfortable and happy.

- Before caring for a pet, I’d love to know anything that will help me make their time with me safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. This includes their normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. I’d also like to know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, or special instructions. It’s especially helpful to know how they typically interact with other dogs, cats, people, and new environments, as well as what helps them feel comfortable when their owners are away. I’m always happy to follow detailed instructions and ask questions ahead of time so I can provide care that feels as familiar and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.
