Pet care experience
I’m very excited to work with you!🌈🌻💛 I've been caring for a variety of animals ever since I started high school. I love them so much, I'm dedicating my life to saving each and every one I can as I study to become a veterinarian :) I have experience from high school and college as well as personal experience with animals of my own. I’ve interned with veterinarians in my previous studies and continue to pursue my passion in advanced animal science college classes. From cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, donkeys, pigs, and even the goats at the LA zoo — I’ve learned a lot! 。:゚૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ゚:。 I care for my pets as precisely as I possibly can depending on their needs. Considering I have experience caring for senior dogs and have one of my own, I am very familiar with the strict diets and medical needs. I would say senior dogs are my specialty, so if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter to look after your golden girl or boy you’ve come to the right gal😎
Reviews
Ellie is a wonderful sitter. She takes great care of my dog and makes sure he gets the attention he needs. I would recommend her.
Ellie remains dependable and enthusiastic with our senior beagles! She makes sure we’re updated on how our boys are doing, and if there’s anything notable or concerning with their behaviors or conditions. We highly recommend her.
Ellie took care of our senior puppers multiple times. She was flexible with us when our travel schedule changed. Ellie communicated with us consistently about what our dogs were up to and would send us the cutest pictures of our pups all the time! We highly recommend selecting Ellie for your dog sitting needs.
Ellie took great care of Mitzi while I was away on a business trip. I let her know how shy Mitzi can be around strangers, but it seemed like my kitty warmed up to Ellie and her pets real quick! Ellie was not only very sweet and professional, but knowledgeable and obviously experienced when it comes to animals. Absolutely loved how she kept me updated with pictures and how Mitzi was doing the whole time even when I was unable to reply back– definitely coming back the next time Mitzi needs company! Thank you so much again Ellie. :)

Safety, trust & environment
For in home stays, walks, and daycare visits I attach an Apple Air Tag connected to my phone onto pets' collars during their stay/walk as well as a tag with my contact info in case of an emergency. As long as the collar is on, I'd be able to find a lost pet anywhere, I take safety very seriously! 。:゚૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ゚:。 I also have a Wyze camera and relatives who work from home so any doggies staying home if I’m out will always be watched :)
Home
Information Ellie G. would like to know about your pet
All clients are required to fill out a pre-booking questionnaire upon requesting a service, and then a care form that will provide me details about your pets needs and behavioral information upon accepting a booking. It is very important to know if your dog gets along well with others and their temperament levels, possibilities of separation anxiety, and any other behavioral issues. I do have a cat, and it is required your dog is not cat aggressive. I know it’s stressful staying in a new place with new people and animals for your dog, so I’ll understand (and expect!) a few minor hiccups at the beginning of a stay❤️ An additional note, seniors automatically get a 5 dollar discount. Just ask me about it upon request and I’d be happy to modify payment :)
A typical day
Fun activities include general one on one play time, hanging out in the yard where dogs are free to dig and sniff to their hearts desire. For the more active dogs, I provide up to 3 mile bike rides daily — or even just a daily short scenic walk depending on your dog's energy level. If the owner likes, depending on availability I could even take your dog on a mini vacation to the doggie beach or a long hike! I never walk dogs offleash and I do require your doggies to arrive with a collar and license for utmost security :)

Availability
I only have an on campus class on Friday, for which I'm usually gone 5 or 7 hours depending on the commute home - so due to this I do not board dogs with intense separation anxiety. For long boarding stays, dogs can be provided frequent potty breaks but it is advised they can handle being alone long hours for those particular days!
