Animal lover looking for feline and canine company
Pet care experience
I grew up with a cat and a dog which provided me the experience to care for their daily needs and currently own a cat of my own. I recently gained experience walking a dog for an owner who worked during the week and needed help with walking her active dog during the day. I also have some experience with a nervous/reactive dog through a family owned pet and believe I can handle dogs with nervous or reactive personalities, following meeting and getting to know them. Towards the end of 2021, I signed up as a dog walker for Cardiff Dogs Home and did a few volunteering weekends, which gave me a good knowledge on keeping dogs safe when out on walks. I also did some volunteering with South Wales Police, caring for the police canines and horses. Initially, I was nervous as I had never been in close contact with horses before, but I absolutely loved it! I am really eager to meet more dogs and cats and hopefully be of help to pet owners.
About Ellis-Marie L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a cat, which means I won't be available for dog or cat sitting at my own home, however I have been trusted in the past with house keys and combinations for key safety boxes when caring for pets in the past. I am very careful when walking dogs, ensuring they are secure and remain safe at all times.
Information Ellis-Marie L. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to care for dogs that may have nervous tendencies, as I have experience with this myself and will take my time to earn their trust if needed. Anything I should be aware of when caring for or walking them, please feel free to let me know.
A typical day
I enjoy playing games with dogs that build their skills, such as fetch and sniffing for hidden items. If your dogs enjoy the water, then I am more than happy to walk them to a nearby lake or body of water, especially on a hot day so they can cool off while they play. Depending on the dog and owners permission, I would also love to take them to a cafe that does puppachinos after our walk for a sweet treat. I also regularly play with my cat which imitate how she might play with other cats, a lot of play fighting and hiding.
