Pet care experience
I have had multiple experiences taking care of animals, and I have always had a special connection with them. I love making animals happy, and I am quick to understand what they might need or are feeling. I have had experience with both cats and dogs, and I do not have a preference. Many cats can be hard to bond with, as they are very territorial, but I have had experience building relationships with feral cats and house cats, and I am able to quickly calm them and let them set their boundaries.
Reviews
Ellie did a wonderful job with our two labs- appreciate the great communication and look forward to working with her again!
Ellie was wonderful and able to help me out with a last minute walk appt. I loved all the pics she shared and that she spent time throwing the ball with Lucy so she could exercise. Thanks so much Ellie !!
Ellie was so amazing at keeping me updated while I was gone, and I could tell my sweet pup was getting lots of love and snuggles every day and night! She is amazing!! I would definitely use her again and recommend anyone else to do so!! Ellie is clearly an animal lover and is so sweet!!! She also left my house cleaner than when I left!!
Ellie is awesome. She loved on my two little pups for a long weekend. She let me know of an issue with one of them so I was able to take care of it right away. I would highly recommend her as a house/pet sitter. I will use her again.

Safety, trust & environment
On a daily basis, I am always up and busy with household tasks, so I am well prepared to be on standby for any of your pets’ needs. I will be able to complete any task that is left to me, including cleaning soiled items from your animals. If I am taking care of a dog, I will be able to take them on walks, or play with them as needed.
Information Ellie N. would like to know about your pet
I am especially knowledgeable about dogs with anxiety, and dogs that are reactive to other animals. I will be able to administer medications and complete any calming exercises with your dog /cat.
A typical day
Every morning I will make sure your pet gets time outside and uses the bathroom, it’s one of my biggest priorities, in order to help your house stay clean. Giving animals time to adjust to me is also something I like to do, so I would most likely spend some time sitting on the floor letting them “check me out,” without any petting if they are nervous, only doing so when I think they would be comfortable with it. I usually spend the time after waking up straightening up the house and making sure any messes are gone, and I will leave your house in perfect condition.

I am currently a student at VCU and I am on summer vacation. I am free most days, and currently do not have any other set schedule obligations. I always aim to stay with your pet as much of the day as possible, unless stated otherwise.
