I'm currently back home in Virginia as I've just finished my first full season of farming, and am looking for some extra income while I'm back! Currently, my schedule is pretty much wide open, and I'm super flexible.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a friendly dog and a sugar glider (whom I've had for ten years). I give my dog long walks around the neighborhood, as well as on hikes and other outings with me. I will give your pets the attention and care they deserve, and promise to do my best in tiring them out with play and walks.

Information Ellie X. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special temperaments or triggers that I need to look out for or avoid when taking them out on walks.

A typical day

I'll take them on long walks, let them sniff around to stimulate them! I'll play with them at home and give them lots of love and attention:)

Pet care experience

I've spent six months working at a doggy day care with dogs of all sizes and personality types. The pet day care also included cats! I have experience working with senior animals as well as puppies/kittens, so I have no problem administering medication or helping do some extra clean up. I've fostered puppies, adult dogs, and cats! I've petsit for friends and neighbors in just about every place I've lived, including while I was in college. I have a lovely dog and sugar glider of my own, both of whom I adore and cherish. I also spent a couple weeks helping a woman out with her rottweiler puppies. Although I've never owned cats of my own, I've lived with a roommate who had two indoor cats and two barn cats and I would always take care of them when she was away.

Ellie was an amazing pet sitter! My cat Max can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up to Ellie right away-which says everything! I would definitely book with Ellie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.

Ellie is responsive, friendly, and well liked by my cat and dog. She provided updates to me and the girls were clearly happy. She is great.

Ellie is a fantastic pet caregiver! As a 21-year-old college graduate and dog owner herself, she has a natural understanding of animals' needs and provides them with love, attention, and care. Ellie is responsible, reliable, and treats every pet as if they were her own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just snuggles, your furry friends will be in great hands with her!
