Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and adventurous petsitter.
Currently working 9-5 at Bath Uni, I have a car so I am able to pop out at lunch time to check in on pets. I am best suited for evening sits,weekends. For weekday sits pets would need to be happy to be alone for up to 5 hrs at a time between check-ins. I have grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, fish and even a tortoise! So I have lots of experience with different pet needs. I've looked after a variety of different pets for others as well. Ranging from senior pups needing low impact walks to high energy dogs who like to go on long walks (or runs!). I've looked after cats who prefer their own space and cats who need lots of play time to keep them happy. I love animals, and grew up around my family's vet practise, so have had lots of hands on veterinary experience, including helping deliver puppies by C-section!

Ellie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Currently living in a houseshare, so I am unable to host pets in my house. But I have a car to travel to your home and I am a respectful and clean guest in other peoples homes.
Ratings and reviews
Ellie is lovely - Liesel clearly loves her and is always relaxed and tired when she has spent the day with Ellie. This time around Ellie also dealt with some unfortunate accidents liesel had in the house - massively appreciated!! Would highly recommend.
Augie had such a lovely time and I came home to very a happy doggo!
Ellie's been an absolute star! She looked after my old dog Liesel overnight while I was away, and she's been brilliant with everything - regular communication and photos, followed all instructions and left my flat lovely and tidy. Liesel seems very relaxed and happy (and tired, which I love coming back to!), I'm really grateful. Would 100% recommend :)
We felt really comfortable leaving Ellie with our dog Cherry. We only adopted her a few weeks prior and she has separation anxiety so we really didn’t want to leave her alone, but Ellie was great with her! She sent us photos and updates throughout the day, and kept Cherry entertained with puzzles toys, treats and playing in the garden. Ellie is a great sitter, very trustworthy and genuine. I have recommended her to some of my friends with dogs, and we have already booked with her again.
Ellie did a great job looking after our two labradors. We had regular updates and she also took photos of the dogs for us to see via the app. Ellie was very flexible as initially we hadn’t fully confirmed our travel dates but once we had the app made it easy to amend and confirm. We came back to two very happy and content dogs and a very tidy home which had clearly also been well looked after by Ellie.
Ellie is a kind and considerate dog carer that treats all doggos as if they were her own. She is my first point of call when I need my girls watched. When I got Juno, who was exceptionally nervous and scared of humans (and everything!), I was hesitant to let anyone look after them but now Ellie is one of Juno’s favourite people with frequent snoot bashing as soon as she sees her!! With regular updates and pictures every time I go on holiday I feel completely at ease that my girls are in the safest pair of hands I could ask for! Thank you Ellie for being so great to them!!
