Availability

I’m currently a college student, and my school is about 30–40 minutes away. Even with classes, I make pet care a big priority in my week. I’m fully available Friday through Monday at any time, including early mornings and late nights. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m not available from 1–10 PM, and on Wednesdays I’m not available from 1–6 PM because of class. Outside of those hours, I’m available and flexible. I’m also open to late-night care if needed to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medications, so nothing is missed. I make sure doors are locked, the home stays clean, and pets are always safe and comfortable. During dog walks, I stay alert and pay attention to their body language to keep them safe around other dogs, people, or loud noises. For short visits, I make sure they get the attention, potty breaks, fresh water, and love they need before I leave. My goal is to make pets feel calm and cared for, and to make sure owners feel fully at ease while they’re away.

Information Ellie T. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your dog, I like to know a few important things to keep them safe and comfortable. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, if they are reactive toward people or other animals, or if they need help getting around the house in any way. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them.💕

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of fun and attention. We’ll run around, play tug of war, and I’ll throw their ball as far as I can so they can really get their energy out. I love being active with playful dogs and making sure they have a great time. If they’re allowed to go to dog parks, I’ll take them to the one they enjoy the most so they can have fun and meet new friends. Of course, if your dog is more laid back, we can relax too and just enjoy a calm day together.😌

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, whether they’re super playful and full of energy or more relaxed and just want to nap. I can match their vibe and make sure they feel safe and happy. I also have experience with dogs who need extra care. I’ve helped care for dogs with epilepsy, dogs who can’t walk on their own, and dogs who are reactive. I can give baths, read dog body language well, and follow any special instructions closely. What sets me apart is that I truly pay attention to each dog’s needs and treat them like family, so owners never have to worry while they’re away.☺️

Ellie is super sweet and I could tell she really cared about my cat. She responded to messages quickly and made sure to send plenty of photos during her visits. I knew my cat was in great hands while I was away and would absolutely hire her again. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Ellie was great! She communicated very effectively and made sure I had a peace of mind with my fur babies by updating me regularly. We will be booking with her in the future!

Ellie was awesome! I was visiting Houston for a medical appointment and she was super kind and flexible. She walked my dog a ton and tired him out just like I asked for! She’s great.
