Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Bilingual Sitter
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 in the pet care industry for many years in various settings from pet resorts to shelters. 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 at least 48 hours advanced notice, and a meet and greet before confirming your booking. Heads up that my man, Kyle, likes to accompany me to meet and greets as a safety precaution. He's good people, and animals love him! Book with me if you want a laid back, capable, and caring pet sitter!
Cat care experience
Ellie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

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.
Ratings and reviews
Ellie is definitely a cat whisperer! She easily made friends with my nervous kitty. Her communication was great and my home was perfect when I returned. Would certainly use her again in the future!
Ellie was awesome. Loved knowing my kitties were well cared for while I was gone. Will book again!
Ellie was great in every way. Great communicator and prompt. She handled my high maintenance, rambunctious terrier well. Always a plus because she’s no cakewalk. The house was spotless, as if she was never here. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Ellie was wonderful, easy to communicate with and I hope to ask her again to look after our fur babies.
Thank you, Ellie, for taking such great care of Rosie! We appreciate everything and look forward to having you back in the future.
Ellie was great with my elderly boxer. She helped with medication administration and was communicative with me about how things were going while I was away. Thank you Ellie!

Schedule
I'm a musician and do freelance work to pay the bills. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I often work from home. I'm happy to work with you on scheduling :)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsEllie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- If I'm housesitting I'd like feeding instructions, medication instructions, and other germane care information. Please let me know if your pet is anxious or has had any reactivity in any situation. I strive to be well informed in order to provide the best care possible to keep your pet safe, happy, and fear free. I prefer to care for small dogs, medium sized dogs, and cats. I absolutely love large and giant breed dogs, but I have a soft spot for Pomeranians, Alaskan Klee-Klai, American Eskimo Dogs, and Australian Cattle Dogs. I believe in getting to know each dog or cat as an individual, and building relationships with my clients and their furry family members based on trust and mutual respect.
