Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet sitter of 6 years+
I've been learning to care for dogs since I was a kid. When I was about 12 years old, I was in a 4-H program called Kids n' Dogs to train the family dog. I love both dogs and cats and I recognize their differences. I will make sure your pet gets the amount of attention they need, whether they are needy or have boundaries. I have experience taking care of dogs from puppy to senior age, from Chihuahua to Great Dane. I have worked with disabled animals and animals with medical needs as well. I completed a NAVTA-approved veterinary assistant program in 2022, but I do not work at a vet clinic.
Cat care experience
Ellie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will spend most of my time outside of work at your house watching your pets. I clean up pet messes to the best of my ability, and I will also clean up after myself if I use your kitchen (I will bring my own food). I'm happy to water your plants or get your mail. Dogs that need walks will get walked daily as part of the house sitting at no additional charge. Higher energy dogs may be walked more often provided that I have the time or if the weather is nice. Let me know how often you would like updates on your pets. I can let you know when I arrive and leave for a house sitting.

Schedule
I work part-time in four hour shifts within the range of 8AM to 4PM. I know my schedule a week in advance each Friday, so Friday evenings are the best time to ask if I'm available to check on your pets next week. If you're flexible with timing but just need me to check on your pet morning and/or evening, I can do that! My mid-day and afternoon availability varies.
