Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are my passion!
I’ve had a variety pets ever since I was very young. I have a lovely pure white DSLH cat called Missy, who I rescued from my workplace. I also have a couple of family pets; an elderly Springer Spaniel X Collie called Bella, and a DLH cat called Toby who I grew up with and both live at my parents; I still regularly visit and care for them. I studied animal science and animal behaviour since college and my most recent degree was a Masters in Clinical Animal Behaviour, which focused primarily on dog and cat behaviour! I have volunteered in many animal industries such as the RSPCA and my current career involves looking after lots of different animals which I love!

Safety, trust & environment
I will always be happy to meet before anything is arranged to discuss your pets needs etc. I can easily crate your dog in the car if needed when travelling to walking destinations. Alternatively, I have a doggy seatbelt to ensure your fur babies safety! I am familiar with dog behaviour so know the warning signs to look out for when on walks. I will only walk off lead if requested and you are happy for me to. I know of various places to walk dogs which are secluded and secure which is especially great if your dog is nervous and prefers quiet walks away from others.
Ratings and reviews
I could not recommend Ellie enough. She was wonderful with our three Ragdoll cats while we were on holiday. She sent photos and communicated with us every day. She also looked out for things in the house and kindly placed a towel around our freezer when a power cut caused it to leak. Ellie clearly loves animals, and that comes across very genuinely.
Ellie was fantastic again! Second time of booking with her and we cannot fault it! Always so attentive for Fury’s needs, spends plenty of time with him, provides many photos and updates! We feel completely at ease when away with her looking after him. Couldn’t recommend enough
Ellie is amazing with our boys, we were away for a wedding on the hottest day of the year so far and she took extra care to keep our boys cool. We really appreciate you Ellie and our boys love you
Ellie is brilliant with our boys! Thank you Ellie! Xx
Ellie was absolutely fantastic in looking after fury, so attentive in ensuring everything is looked after for him. She clearly has such a caring nature for animals and made us feel very safe leaving our cat in her care. Thank you so much Ellie, we’ll definitely be using your services again in the future!
Ellie is brilliant, and our little Dewey feels so comfortable and happy with her. Thank you Ellie xxx
