Pet care experience

I love senior & special needs pets

I grew-up with dogs and cats, and have housesat for more than 5 years looking after a variety of pets, including snakes! I adopt senior animals, and give them a forever home. I am comfortable with giving medication, including pills and drops, as well as subcutaneous injections.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I cannot have other animals in my house, as my senior is the king/queen of the household! But I have a lot of experience going to other people's homes to look after their animals. I am single, clean and respectful of others' property.

We were so lucky to have found Ellie. She made our first vacation after our cat was diagnosed with diabetes so much more peaceful than it could have been otherwise. She was so great with all of our cats, had a really calm and warm energy, and even managed to win over our shy cat in just a couple days (who never warmed up to our prior sitter even after years). Ellie is really a gem. She even troubleshot an unexpected issue with our kitchen sink, and went above and beyond in all respects. I really hope she will be available in the future any time we need to leave town again!

Ellie is incredible. A+! I have two cats who both need daily medication, and one who requires subcutaneous fluids every other day, so leaving them is never easy. Ellie handled everything flawlessly. She visited twice a day, gave detailed notes after every visit, and always included pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Honestly, my cats seemed even healthier when I got home than when I left! Knowing Ellie was there made all the difference — I truly felt they were safe, cared for, and in great hands. Five stars all the way. I would not hesitate to book her again.

Ellie is the nicest, most conscientious, and compassionate pet caregiver we have ever encountered for the care of our very special Maine Coon, Oliver. He thoroughly enjoyed her visits and the affection she gave to him throughout. In addition, Ellie is very knowledgeable and professional. We will recommend her to our friends with pets and we, along with Oliver, will look forward to seeing her again soon.

I understand that every pet is different, and will meet them where they're at, whether it be shy or upset with other people/animals, highly energetic, not like to be touched, slow paced, etc. Let me know about your pet's personality and any special needs they may have. I am comfortable administering medication (oral eye drops, injection, etc.) and providing a specific feeding regimes.
