Happy Paws of Freeport

Pet care experience

*I am happy to offer service to Freeport. *MY HOURS for Dog Walks and Drop-In Visits will be from 11:00 am to 2:00pm Monday through Friday. Please try and request a service with at least a day or more notice. Thank you! *I will do my best to offer service around the time requested, but I can not always guarantee that time slot. Thank you for understanding! Hi, my name is Lillie (nickname: Ellie). I am a stay-at-home mom to two girls (ages 10 and 13), a little boy (age 15 months), as well as a fur mom to my 5 year old Husky mix and two cats (ages 8 and 12) and 3 guinea pigs (3 females). I have done a lot of volunteer work with many different animal shelters in California as well as Illinois (Summerfield Zoo & Hoo Haven). I have spent a few years at Forest City Dog Training in Loves Park participating in Obedience Classes learning how to build a bond with my dog. I am always trying to learn more about animals through classes or books. I am also currently working on becoming a doula and certified lactation consultant so I can help other couples on their journey to become parents and support them when their bundle of joy comes home with them from the hospital.

I can’t say enough about what a great job Ellie did in taking care of my Great Dane. Ellie, worked with my last minute schedule and saw to the important needs with my dog has. She was very patient with my dogs cautious behavior and sent me great summaries and photos after each drop in to keep me well informed. She was very professional and friendly! It is so great as a pet owner to be able to trust someone with not only your pet, but also your home. I highly recommend her! Ellie, thank you so much again! Words can’t express my appreciation!

I currently live on a 5 acre farm with my mother-in-law, my husband, two girls and our little boy. All together we have and care for: 3 dogs, 6 cats, 3 guinea pigs, 5 chickens and soon goats. We have 3 fenced in pasture areas. One is dedicated to the chickens and the other is used for the dogs to play or explore safely in. I treat my clients pets with the same love I give all of our animals.

Information Ellie M. would like to know about your pet

Help me get to know your dog/pup before we meet. High energy? Good with other dogs? Good with kids? (Due to me being a stay-at-home mom I will have my 15 month old with me. Due to this I won't be able to work with dogs that are not kid-friendly.)

A typical day

For drop-in visits I will come check on your pup and make sure they have a fresh bowl of water. If you request it I will also take the dog/pup on a walk around the neighborhood other wise we will use the backyard for play or inside the house. Just let me know what you would like. For dog walks I will use the surrounding neighborhood. I will work with the dog on walking nicely with me and not pulling. We will do some exercises like random sit and stay practice during out walk. Each walk is around 25-30 min. Before I leave I will make sure their bowls are full with fresh water.
