Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer care in my own home as I foster several dogs so I haven’t got the space. In your home I will follow all instructions provided and always keep a vigilant eye to keep your dogs safe and happy. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once as well as elderly dogs and those with health issues.

Information Ellie V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours (e.g. reactivity, anxiousness etc.) that I can account for. I can adjust areas I walk dogs if needed (e.g. quieter or more social areas).

A typical day

I think physical and mental stimulation is of great importance for all dogs. We will play your dogs favourite games be it tug, fetch or whatever makes them happy. I will select a place to walk based on what you’re happy with and I am aware of lots of good spots in the area I cover. Your dog will have lots to sniff and explore and I’m sure I can help them feel stimulated and relaxed.

Pet care experience

I’ve looked after dogs since I can remember. Friends and family members have relied on me multiple times to care for their companions. I own two gigantic mastiffs and have experience with a multitude of breeds including spaniels, terriers, Chihuahuas, Weimaraners, poodles and many more working and toy dogs! I also have dog and puppy training experience as well as experience with caring for elderly dogs with health issues (including giving medicine and vet trips). I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule which I can fill with playing, walking and fulfilling your dogs needs! I’m available weekdays and weekends and due to my schedule it would be best if you provided me with times and I will try my best to fit around you! I can abide to all instructions provided by you to care for your dog in your home. I have been trusted to do so many times. I know the Teesside area very well and can select suitable locations depending on your dogs nature. I have walked dogs with reactivity and anxiety issues and can keep your dogs safe and calm e.g. away from other dogs if needed. Owning huge mastiffs I also know I am physically capable of handling any size dog. Having dog training experience I can read dogs body language and know what motivates them.

First time we've had to use a pet sitting service having been previously able to rely on family, so were a little unsure what to expect. Ellie was great at communicating beforehand and came and did a pre-meet. Our cats can be pretty anti-social until they get to know you, but Ellie won one of them over straight away and a couple followed pretty quickly afterwards! We came home to well settled and happy cats - and that's all anyone wants - thank you Ellie.

Ellie was great! She was excellent at dealing with our dog Zeus he is a large dog with extra needs, Ellie dealt great with this. We will definitely be using again and would certainly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
