Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, or playtime. I know pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and give your pet the attention, affection, and structure they are used to. I always make sure pets are safe, hydrated, and never left unattended for too long.

Information Ellie S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special needs. It’s helpful to be aware of: • Medical needs (medications, allergies, past injuries) • Temperament (shy, social, energetic, anxious) • Triggers (loud noises, other animals, strangers, etc.) • House rules (furniture, treats, crate time, walking preferences) • Emergency contacts (vet info and your preferred contact method) This way I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would

A typical day

A typical day with pets starts with making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get some exercise. I love going for walks (or backyard play if they prefer), giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I also keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. For fun activities, I’ll tailor them to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, that could mean walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring new scents outside.

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my entire life and I can’t imagine a home without one! Growing up, I helped care for our family dog whether it was walking, feeding, playing, or giving them all the love and belly rubs they needed. Whenever my parents were away, I was the one they trusted to take over completely. Over the years, I’ve also looked after dogs for my relatives and neighbors who trusted me to care for their dogs just like my own. Whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or keeping up with a routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like family.

Ellie is fantastic with dogs. She has cared for my dog while I am unable to be there due to work, travel, and other commitments. Ellie is playful and kind with my pet; I always return to a well-loved and tired dog! I would recommend Ellie as a sitter and walker to all.

Ellie loves dogs - and loves to walk them! She is responsible, timely, and caring. Dogs respond well to her gentle nature. She has a flexible schedule which is helpful to accommodate her client’s needs.
