Availability

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Between my work as a veterinary assistant and pre-vet studies, I make time every day to walk, feed, and love on animals. I keep a flexible schedule and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet’s needs—whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel at home—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep spaces clean and hazard-free, and always supervise outdoor time. With my veterinary assistant background, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness early and respond appropriately. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, love, and respect.

Pet care experience

As a veterinary assistant and pre-vet student, I bring hands-on medical knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, babies, and special-needs pets. From giving medications to helping shy animals feel safe, I treat every pet like my own.

Ellie was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely responsive right after we booked, and she even showed up a little early for the walk. She was super amenable to the few requests we had and made everything feel easy and stress-free. Our pup, Woody, loved her right away and came home as happy and cheery as ever. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, enthusiastic dog person who clearly cares about the pups she works with.
