Pet care experience
Tails, treats & twenty three
I’m 23 years old and currently living at home, where I’m lucky to be surrounded by family—and my adorable dog, Max my 13-year-old Shih Tzu is the calm, gentle presence in the house. He’s has such a sweet, wise nature. Growing up with max has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and finding joy in the little things. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, spending time with them keeps life grounded and fulfilling. It’s a simple rhythm, but one that’s full of love, connection, and meaning. Services I offer: ✨ Overnight Stays: Keeping your dog safe and happy in the comfort of their own home while you’re away. ✨ Day Visits: Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and toilet breaks. ✨Dog walks: Tailored walk to suit your dogs energy and needs ✨Dog boarding: A home from home experience with plenty of care, play and cuddles. (Dog would need to get on with other dogs) Available for short notice bookings, weekends, and holidays. 🐶

Ratings and reviews
Ellie kindly looked after our English Bulldog Lexi as a short notice request which we were really grateful for! Can’t fault Ellie and the care she provided for our dog, and the reassurance we were given whilst we were away. We were sent texts and photo updates regularly, and it was clear that Lexi enjoyed all of her cuddles! Will definitely book Ellie again in future, and would highly recommend to anyone else😊 thanks so much!
Ellie was absolutely amazing with Frank. From the start she was so trustworthy, kind and reliable, which made me feel totally comfortable leaving him in her care. She looked after him so well and it was obvious he really loved her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Thank you for looking after Chorizo! Ellie was great as he’s a very anxious dog. Couldn’t not recommend more.
Ellie is a lovely calm dog sitter who got on well with our dog and he seemed to warm to her really well. Would definitely recommend.
Ellie was absolutely fantastic looking after our nervy whippet while we were away for a couple of nights! Worked around our odd flight timings and Taco was super happy in her care ❤️❤️❤️
I recently had the pleasure of having Ellie look after my Bichon, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs — especially small breeds like mine. My Bichon can be a bit particular, but she was instantly comfortable with Bentley which says a lot. Throughout the time she was minding him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she wasn’t just “watching” my dog — she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. When I returned, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly well looked after. I highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I don’t use crate training—instead, they’re free to roam around the house and make themselves comfortable. I also have a safe, fenced back garden where they can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and exercise under supervision. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I make sure their routine is kept as close to normal as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles—so they feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged! Depending on each pup’s personality and energy level, I’ll plan activities they truly enjoy. For playful and energetic dogs, that could mean fun walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, or even exploring new trails and parks. For pups who love to sniff and think, I enjoy setting up scent games and hide-and-seek with treats or toys. And of course, there’s always plenty of cuddle time, belly rubs, and gentle play for those who prefer a more relaxed pace.
