About Ellie B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are a must for me, both with the owner and with the pet. When I first set up a job I make sure to get all the information that the owner feels is important and any additional information that I still have questions on. I keep an open line of communication. I build trust with the pet and understand that it takes more time to warm up to new people for some. As someone who has pets, I know that it can be stressful trying to find the right person to take care of your pet. I take what I appreciate sitters have done for me and put that into my own practice.
Information Ellie B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any allergies and/or medications I need to be aware of. Are there places they love getting petted or places I should avoid? How are they when crossing paths with other animals? Any additional information is greatly appreciated!
A typical day
I like to let the pet decide the course of the visit. If they can choose the direction of the walk they want to go, though I do know some great places for squirrel sightings. If they prefer to stay inside after taking care of business, we can play or have lots of cuddles and pets. The same goes for cats. If they have a special place in the home where they like to get attention or play, we will go there (even if it is sitting on the stairs).

Pet care experience
I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been taking care of other people's animals since I was in middle school. I have experience fostering bottle baby kittens and am able to trim cats' claws.
Reviews
Ellie was amazing as always with stopping in to check on our precious kitty Leo!!! I know as always she will take care of either of my boys (cat and dog)🫶🏼💕
Ellie was amazing with Batman! He’s a shy kitty and he was so comfortable around her.
Ellie is amazing!!! We have used her to check in on our cat and walk our dog and both of our pets do so great with her. We have a senior dog with some specific walk directions and she was so understanding and accommodating! We would absolutely use Ellie for stop in or walk services again. :)
Ellie was incredible as always! My cat Nola was well taken care of!!
