Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, Exotics & Special Needs
👋 Hi, I’m Ellie! I work from home as a forensic accountant, and caring for pets and animals is my favorite way to step away from spreadsheets. With 12+ years of hands-on animal experience, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. 💉Specialty Care & Skills • Medical needs: giving oral meds, injections, subcutaneous fluids, bandage changes and more advanced skills. • Neonatal care: tube feeding, temperature support, meticulous daily notes •Special conditions: I’m comfortable with chronic illness — my own cat has epilepsy, so I understand how vital consistency and timing are •Behavior savvy: experienced with shy, anxious, and high-energy pets 🐱 Cats I love cats of all personalities from shy to social. •Litter box cleaning (traditional or automatic systems like Litter-Robot and PetSafe) •Administering meds and fluids if needed •Playtime, enrichment, and cuddle sessions 🐶 Dogs From tiny seniors to big, bouncy pups: •Walks, runs, or long play sessions (I’m an active runner!) •Experience with puppies and training reinforcement •Gentle, patient approach for nervous or reactive dogs 🐹 Small Animals & 🦎 Exotics •Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, tortoises, ducks, reptiles & more •Familiar with safe handling, diet needs, and habitat upkeep •Volunteer experience with wildlife rehab centers and small animal rescues ❤️What you can expect from me: I treat every animal as my own with love, patience, and careful attention to detail. You’ll get regular updates and peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe and happy.

Schedule
I work a flexible, fully remote job as a forensic accountant, which means I can set my own schedule and work whenever I want. That flexibility lets me plan my workday around pet care from drop-in visits and walks to feedings and playtime so your pets always get the attention they need when they need it.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the routine your pet is already comfortable with feeding, walks, play, cuddles, and any special instructions you share. I’m careful to keep their space clean, freshen water, and give lots of love and attention so they feel secure while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me always starts with making sure your pets feel safe and happy. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to check in, play, and stick to their normal schedule. • For dogs: If your pup is high-energy, I love having company on my runs it’s a great way for them (and me!) to burn energy and have fun. If they’re more easygoing, we’ll go for relaxed walks, sniff around the neighborhood, and play fetch or tug-of-war. • For cats: I bring out toys and get them moving with interactive play or just keep them company if they’re more of a snuggler.
