Fun fetchin' & cozy couch cuddles

Pet care experience

I am a full-time Spanish teacher looking for canine companionship in my downtime. Over the past couple of years, I have been the go-to pet-sitter for my school and am excited to make my services available to more pet lovers. I enjoy outdoor time with the pups and will send photo updates of your fur-baby. My partner, Nick, is also a fellow dog lover and he is an equal part in caring for any pup that is at the house. He is a jack-of-all-trades and has some flexibility in his workday so he can come home and check on the dog(s). We have a fenced-in yard for playtime, live close to the cross-city trail for walks and down the street from Empie's dog park. We'll only take your pup to the park if you specifically request it. Nick and I love welcoming dogs into our home and looking after them as if they were our own.

Piper and I just moved to Wilmington and I needed help for a busy weekend. Everything was so smoothly planned and easy to book with Ellie and Nick. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup with them. They also sent pictures during the entire stay which I truly appreciated. I will definitely be booking them again!

Ellie and Nick took great care of my 9 month old pup, sending me updates each day, sometimes 2 or 3! They made him feel extremely welcome in their home and provided him with doggie friends to play with, as well. Ideal visit for him and peace of mind for me. Thank you!!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ellie & Nicholas. We met them prior to our trip and Maddie seemed perfectly comfortable with them and they had a nice fenced yard for her to play in and investigate. Ellie sent us regular pictures so we were so happy our baby was well taken care of. We would recommend them to anyone and are so thankful there are caring people like this willing to give our dog a cuddle and some love when we go out of town.

Ellie and Nick are the best. They took good care of our 3 Goldendoodles for a long weekend. Dogs seemed happy and content when we picked them up. Ellie sent pictures each day. I know the pups were happier to have a yard to run in and someone to give them hugs and treats. Thank you, Ellie and Nick

We love to walk around our neighborhood. There is a short loop in our area that is good for small and also elderly dogs. For dogs with lots of energy, we live near Empie Park and enjoy walking the loop over there as well. We also have a big backyard that is great for fetch. Our massive magnolia tree puts off plenty of sticks and we have our own collection of tennis balls for playing around out back.
