Experienced & Bilingual Sitter
Pet care experience
I'm an experienced pet owner with dogs and cats, and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). I've worked with many animals, and am a lifelong pet owner. I worked at the Central Texas SPCA for about three years, and have worked with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently work at Riley’s Ranch Pet Resort. I can administer medications orally, but have no experience with injectable medications. I try to be flexible with scheduling, and I’m always willing to work with people. However, if you’re a first time house sitting client I do require 24-48 hours advanced notice and a meet and greet before confirming your booking. Book with me if you want a laid back, capable, and caring pet sitter!
Reviews
Ellie is great with Simon. She always reports his progress and sends good pics.
Excellent! She was flexible and took amazing care of my Theodore. :) He loved her!
We were so pleased with Ellie’s first weekend dropping in to feed and play with our boxer Sadie that we booked her for housesitting for five nights later in the summer. Sadie warmed to her quickly, and we returned to a happy, healthy doggie. She was on time every time and sent photos every visit. Absolutely no problems.
Ellie is a great sitter. She came in for a drop in visit for my two dogs. She showed up on time and send plenty of photos and updates. Thanks girl, will be using you again in the future ?
About Ellie K.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always go at the dog or cat’s pace, especially when it’s their first time having me as their sitter. I believe in building trust and relationships with your pets, and try to always make it a positive experience.
Information Ellie K. would like to know about your pet
If I'm housesitting I'd like feeding instructions, medication instructions (if necessary), and other germane care information. I typically ask these questions and more in the meet and greet as well. I don't have breed preferences, and believe in getting to know each dog or cat as an individual.
A typical day
I love to talk long, winding walks with dogs. I love to find natural spaces and trails when I’m walking. I’m also totally down to play fetch or even just hang out on the couch. Whatever your dog enjoys, I can make it happen.
