Availability

Outside of pet care, I work a steady schedule—Monday through Thursday evenings from 4–10pm and Saturday mornings from 7am–12pm. That means I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and weekends to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I like to be upfront so you’ll always know when I’m free, and I’ll make sure your pets’ needs are prioritized around my work. Reliable, consistent, and full of heart—that’s how I approach both my schedule and my pet care!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely—from feeding schedules to favorite toys—so your pets experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. For dogs, I provide regular walks for exercise and stimulation, along with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection. For cats, I make sure litter boxes are clean, meals are on time, and they get the attention (or space!) they prefer. I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your furry family is doing. Growing up I’ve always owned several animals and so many plans were disrupted by the stressor of not being able to trust anyone with your babies. I can ensure you, I will make that worry disappear! My goal is simple: to give your pets the love and care they deserve while giving you total peace of mind.

Information Ellie C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their daily routine so I can keep things consistent and comforting—same feeding times, walks, play, and snuggles! Please share any medications, allergies, or special needs so I can make sure they stay happy and healthy. And of course, give me a heads-up if your little sass-master has a tendency to nibble or get spicy—I promise, no judgment, just preparation! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away!

A typical day

Every pet in my care gets a fun, safe, and personalized experience. I tailor activities to match their age, energy, and routine—whether that’s walks, playtime, training refreshers, enrichment games, or cozy cuddle breaks. Dogs can enjoy engaging walks or fetch sessions to burn energy, while cats get interactive play and calm companionship. My goal is to keep each pet happy, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine so they feel secure and loved while their owners are away.

Loving Care for Pets, Big & Small!

Pet care experience

Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started working in the pet grooming industry when I was just 11, and since then I’ve poured my heart into caring for dogs and cats of every age, size, and personality. I’ve raised entire litters of puppies alongside their mamas, comforted seniors in their golden years, and welcomed countless pets into my home for boarding and love. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a gentle brushing, or simply being a reassuring presence, I make it my mission to give every animal the same patience, safety, and affection I give my own. To me, pets are family—and I care for them with all the devotion that word deserves.

Ellie developed a genuine rapport with our 5 cats. She was the best about communicating daily and sending tons of precious photos, which made me feel like our sweet furbabies were with us on vacation. Ellie took care of them daily and distributed medicine to one cat, even stopping to our vet's office to pick up liquid meds when said cat was being a little stinker about taking his pill for her. Thank you, Ellie!
