I love senior & special needs pets
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Ellie is a terrific pet sitter. My cats took an immediate liking to her and she was able to pet them and administer insulin. In the past I have had numerous cat sitters and my cats ran away. I would not hesitate to use her again.
Ellie is a great communicator and extremely patient with our fearful rescue pup. She is reliable and trustworthy! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area.
Ellie never showed up for her visit. I didn't hear anything from her yet. I hope she is all right.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Ellie. She took great care of our shy, diabetic, 17 year old cat. She took his blood glucose levels and administered his insulin shots with kindness and professionalism. She went the extra mile to find him when he hiding, make sure he was eating and have some cuddle time every day. Highly recommended!

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.
Information Ellie K. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I enjoy long walks with dogs, either around the neighborhood or at a local park. I like to set a brisk pace, but am patient when they want to smell and do their business. My favorite is to go hiking with dogs (like Rockerfeller State Park or the Palisades), but I understand that not all dogs enjoy the car ride, or the different terrain. I enjoy paying ball or chasing games, brushing hair and giving lots of cuddles and love.
