Pet care experience
Professional Fluffy Hugger
Aside from looking after my own adorable border terrier, I've cared for dogs big and small, cuddled up to some cats, guinea pigs, birds, snakes and fed some fish! I've always loved animals and as a pet owner I understand how important it is that your animal friends are treated with love and care. I have previous experience administering medication to both cats and dogs, carrying elderly dogs up and down the stairs (just small ones, I'm not that buff!) and looking after energetic puppies. I'm more than happy to meet any animal that needs caring for. I'm sure we'll get along great! ---------------------- The total booking fee of any house-sitting stay is doubled for constant care (pets who can't be left alone for longer than 4 hours total in the daytime, within a 24 hour period). I love being with your pets and will be spending as much time as I can with them. However, I also need to run errands, go to school and may just want to see friends or family. I am able to provide constant care, but will increase my prices for this to reflect the increase in commitment. Thank you for understanding!

Safety, trust & environment
I completely understand that some pets can be nervous having a new person coming into their home. Absolutely anything I can do to make both you and your pet feel more comfortable- just say the word! I have experience crating dogs and soothing nervous ones- whether it's a stroke or a run around they need. I always try to leave a place better than how I found it. No messes! I'd love to chat with you more about your pet and get to know how to best take care of your individual animal friend's needs.
Ratings and reviews
Really happy with Ellie! She took care of my kitten for 9 days, staying at mine. She was updating me every day with pictures and messages. She is kind, sweet girl and I will definitely get in touch again with her. Highly recommended. My kitten was happy with her.
Ellie was a fantastic and considerate cat sitter. We received daily pics and updates, which made our time away so relaxing. Our little terror, BooBoo took to her, and we were so pleased to see that. Cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have the comfort of knowing our cat and house was so well taken care of by Ellie. Will use her again and would recommend her to anyone. She was so lovely.
Ellie looked after our two dogs really well whilst we were away for the weekend. She sent us lots of updates and was very communicative. One of our dogs is nervous and refused to go on a walk but Ellie was very nice to her and didn't force her. When we got back our house was super clean and Ellie had even made us cupcakes!
Ellie Macoustra is an extremely caring person. She often cared for and walked my dog whilst I was at work. She managed his idiosyncrasies well. I trust Ellie implicitly and she stays in my house whilst I'm on holiday looking after my 2 cats and dog. She enjoys petting the animals and offers them affection. One of the cats requires medication and she has managed to administer it to him as required
Ellie has pet sat for me several times over the years, for various pets. She is an incredibly kind, organised and responsible animal lover. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I'm currently only studying on Mondays and Tuesdays until 4pm, so the rest of the week I'm completely free! I'm also more than happy to housesit on these days if you don't mind me being out at the beginning of the week (but every other day I'm a big homebody!).
