Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Loving Pet Sitter
Hi! I'm a 19-year-old responsible and energetic pet lover based in Ashburn, VA. I've grown up with dogs (a lovable senior basset hound and a prickly Pekingese who has passed on) and a cat (spunky Lulu), which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending with animals and making them feel loved. Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with a range of personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I tailor my care to match their routine. Services: Services: • Boarding: Dogs stay in a safe, comfortable home environment with plenty of attention and care. We have a friendly dog and a cat in the home, so boarded dogs should be comfortable around other animals. Someone is typically home for much of the day, allowing for regular supervision, interaction, and potty breaks. They'll be treated like part of our family! • Drop-ins & walks: Feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins while you’re away • House sitting: Keeping your pet comfortable in their own home with overnight care and routine support House Sitting Info: My overnight house sitting includes evening, overnight, and morning care (feeding, walks, and companionship). During the day, pets should be comfortable being left alone for several hours. If your pet needs a midday visit or more constant daytime care, I’m happy to accommodate—just let me know so we can adjust the plan accordingly! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ellie was a wonderful sitter. We were a little worried at first, as Ellie is younger than the usual sitters we have, but she surpassed our expectations! Both our cat and dog were very relaxed; Ellie ensured that both our pets were comfortable. It's tough enough to manage one pet, so the fact that Ellie was able to manage both our pets together proves her competence. We will definitely be hiring Ellie again in the very near future 🐶😺
Ellie is super reliable and caring as a pet sitter. I always trust her with my dog and cat and definitely would recommend her to others who need a sitter.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate different routines. For boarding, I’m able to provide regular supervision, breaks, and attention throughout the day. For drop-ins and walks, I’m available at a variety of times depending on location and schedule. For house sitting, I provide consistent morning and evening care and stay overnight. I may step out for several hours during the day, so pets should be comfortable being alone for that time. If additional daytime visits are needed, I’m happy to discuss options.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
No matter what the environment, safety first is my top priority. I always follow your care instructions carefully and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. During walks, I keep dogs securely on a leash/harness. For drop-ins and house sitting, I keep the house secure and get in contact with you right away if there are any issues.
Pets
A typical day
Each day depends on the service and your pet’s needs, but typically includes feeding, walks or potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For boarding, pets get regular breaks, playtime, and a comfortable home environment throughout the day. For house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including morning and evening care, walks, meals, and overnight companionship. For drop-ins, I focus on making sure your pet gets what they need during each visit—whether that’s feeding, a walk, or some extra attention.
