Seasoned Pet Owner & Caregiver!

Pet care experience

I know how difficult it can be to trust someone you don’t know with your precious fur baby, but I am here to make it so much easier! I have been on Rover for about seven years now, so I have gained plenty of experience with taking care of others' dogs and cats, including walking, visiting and house-sitting them. Even before I was on Rover, I would frequently care for neighbors' and family friends' pets. These have included sick, injured, senior, jumpy, calm, and timid dogs. Whatever the personality, we'll be sure to get along and have fun! I am also an enthusiastic cat-caretaker! I have owned cats since I was six, and currently own a 3-year-old very mischievous black cat named Felipe. That is to say that I am very familiar with cats' proclivities and unique personalities, and I love to spend time playing with them! I work weekdays from around 8AM to 5:00PM, which leaves my late afternoons and evenings wide open. My weekends are also typically available! I am located in northeast Wrigleyville, so I can typically simply walk or bike to meet your pet. Otherwise, I also have a car that I can use! If I sound like I'd be a good fit for your pet, then please feel free to contact me at any time and I'd be happy to set something up!

Ellie was great with my dog! He had a long walk and I lived the pictures. She also refilled the water fountain and I greatly appreciate that!

Ellie was a lifesaver when I had to go out of town suddenly last week! She took great care of my cat and was a fantastic communicator :)

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if it were my own! I know how I would want my pet to be taken care of, and I apply that same level of care and respect to someone else's pet(s). It's as simple as that - all pets, regardless of personality or temperament, deserve kind, caring treatment.

Information Ellie Z. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the pet's energy level, how they like to play, and anything they do not like and/or should be avoided.

A typical day

I like to get detailed input from the owner about the pet's energy level, play preferences, and more. I use this information to shape my time with the pet, and even let the pet take the lead in what they want to do (assuming it is safe, reasonable, and within the owner's wishes).
