Animal lover with experience
Pet care experience
I’ve worked professionally with dogs and cats for 10 years. As well as being a pet owner my whole life. I first started out at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, then on to animal shelter work. At both facilities my main duties were to feed, water, walk and care for the animals. Sometimes groups of 50 or more dogs would play in a group supervised by one person, me. I have many skills in dog behavior and body language. I’m very comfortable with dog to dog introductions and interactions and can quickly gauge a situation based on observing small body language cues. I’ve handle dogs anywhere from 1 to 100 lbs and can easily gain trust of nervous babies who take a while to warm up. I’ve also developed a great respect and appreciation for cats after several years of working in the shelter environment and have knowledge and experience in their care and comfort. I love caring for all things big and small. I have experience with reptiles as well if needed.
Reviews
Amazing job as always, my dog loves it there and is well taken care of and happy. Good to have peace of mind while on vacation knowing he is in good hands.
We absolutely love Ellia! We have used her on various occasions and she always does a fantastic job. She treats our dogs as her own and provides top-notch care. We recently had her watch one of our dogs after he received a medical procedure. She adequately administered his medications and kept an eye on him. Needless to say, Ellia puts us at ease when we have to leave town - we know our pups are always in the best hands!
Stella was so happy at Ellia’s house. I will continue to board her there whenever possible!
Ellie did a great job of taking care of my little yorki poo. She was also great about sending me photos. I would highly recommend.

A typical day
I love to go for walks or hikes and play fetch. Sometimes with the older or slower ones it’s fun to just go for a sniff or a sit in the grass.

Availability
I’m currently working part-time in the evenings so I have open availability during the day for walks and drop-in care. I’m available most weekends for long outings/etc. Boarding is available if needed and if owner is comfortable with dog being around others in my home. Mentioned above I am very experienced in social interactions and introductions. All my pets are up to date on vaccinations and socialized with others.
