I have recently graduated from my undergraduate program, and have plenty of free time while looking for full-time employment. I do have a daughter, which may limit certain appointment times but should be flexible as I do have relatives to help, should I need to check on your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Experienced with young and elderly dogs, I am always sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside to prevent any escape or injury, regardless of a fence. If needed, I can also sit with special animals on a schedule, to ensure they go to sleep after meals or a walk.

Information Ellie W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance if your pet is skiddish or anxious about new strangers. If it should be necessary also let me know if they are not friendly with young children in emergency case should I be accompanied by my daughter.

A typical day

If your pets have favorite toys or training skills that they enjoy practicing, I am happy to implement them into my visits! I also am an avid runner and would be more than happy to let your pet join for a quick job if they enjoy that.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. I am especially comfortable taking care of older and senior dogs and adapting to their needs (ex. blind/deaf) and have lived with small to medium breeds. However, I am also experienced with taking care of younger and larger breeds (ex. 1 year old English Labs).

She is the best and will be our go to from now on! She went above and beyond just letting Bear out and we could tell from the pictures he had a great time when she stopped in!

Ellie once again provided exceptional care to our pets during our weekend trip. She was punctual and flexible when we requested adjustments to her visitation schedule. We are very thankful for her!!

Ellie was exceptional and I don’t know what we would’ve done without her! I appreciated her photos and updates throughout her stay with our 3 spoiled furbabies. She asked thoughtful follow-up questions and that showed us that she truly cares and doesn’t skip on details. We were lucky to have her and I would not hesitate to book her again!
