Highlights
Pet care experience
Insured, WFH, pet lover 🖤
Hi, I’m Ellie! I’m a fully remote graphic designer who loves animals. I live with my family, our three dogs, and a cat, so I’m very used to busy, pet-filled homes. My cocker spaniel, Honey, is my soul dog - she’s quite anxious, which has taught me how to care for nervous or reactive pets with patience and understanding. I’ve looked after a range of dogs and cats for family and friends over the years, from excitable puppies to shy rescues. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My own home is full of life with three dogs and a cat, so I don’t offer boarding or daycare here. When I’m caring for your pets, I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure their environment stays calm and safe. I take extra care with anxious or reactive pets, keeping to their usual routines and avoiding anything that might stress them out.
Ratings and reviews
Ellie was an amazing dog sitter. It’s my first time using Rovers and I’m very happy with Ellie looking after Leo in my home. I received regular updates and photos . Leo looked very relaxed and happy. I would definitely ask Ellie to sit again, and would also highly recommend her.
Ellie Mae was absolutely brilliant with Edie! She came to meet her beforehand which was nice as Edie was only 3 months old so still needs loads of extra care and attention, but Ellie Mae made the whole thing really easy for us. She also went above and beyond with a few things on our wedding day, which we really appreciated and we knew Edie was in great hands throughout. We’re already looking forward to the next time she sits for Edie. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone friendly reliable and caring with their dog!
Ellie Mae looked after my two cats whilst I was away for a few days. Ellie Mae is very professional, calm, efficient and friendly. She communicated with me daily, sending updates and photographs. My cats were very well looked after. I would definitely book her again and I would highly recommend her with no hesitation.
Ellie Mae looked after our German Shepherd dog Charlie while we were out for the evening. Ellie is really friendly and professional, Charlie warmed to her straight away ❤️. We had great communication throughout and were sent updates and photos throughout the evening. We will definitely be booking Ellie again and would recommend her.
We love having Ellie look after our two girls, she is so friendly and calming and the girls settled so quickly. Ellie is amazing and has looked after them a few times now and we wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Thank you Ellie, love Ruby & Daisy!!!
Ellie is a natural with dogs. It was clear to see from the minute she arrived. Very polite, on time and tidy and professional. Keeping in contact and even sending some pictures. We’re really glad to have her on team Iggy! Thanks Ellie! Iggy had a great time too!

Schedule
Because I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for house sitting and drop-in visits any day of the week. I can do mornings, evenings, or overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. At the moment I'm unable to commit to routinely walks due to physiotherapy, however I can do the odd one here and there - we can just discuss first! If my calendar shows I’m unavailable, please message me anyway - I can usually make something work!

- I really value honesty when it comes to your pet’s needs. Please let me know: • If your pet is anxious, reactive, or has any triggers • Their usual feeding and walking schedule • How they are around other animals or people • Any medication or special care instructions The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Also, if there are any allergies in the household let me know!
