Pet care experience

Because every pet is family.

I've been around dogs since the day I was born. I've owned 4 dogs in my lifetime (along with many fish, hamsters, mice, and cats) and currently have 2 big goofballs back at home with my family in Chicago. I have experience in puppy training, potty training, crate training, pet walking, and pet sitting of all kind. I have also carefully walked along side caring for senior pets. Throughout college, I took in dogs to foster, clean, and care for regularly. Animals truly have my heart.

Safety, trust & environment

I have taken care of dogs of each and every size, shy and outgoing, and young and old. I will cater to each individual pets needs. This also means I have experience walking all kinds of dogs! Dogs that need closer and tighter attention vs. off the leash walking. I will meet the animal's level wherever you are comfortable with.

Reliable and super friendly, communication is excellent and very very flexible! My plans changed a few times but Ella was amazing at accommodating last minute requests. She sends lots of photos and updates and I know my dog loves her!

Ella is our go-to person. She treats Bailey as though he weee her own. I’ve been out of town and she’s made it a point to spend more quality time with him during this week. We appreciate her so much. She’s the abolir best and we’re so blessed to have found her.

This was my first time ever using a dog walker, and I was honestly pretty nervous about it, but Ella made the whole experience easy and reassuring! She sent tons of photos and updates during the walk, which immediately put me at ease. She communicates proactively, asks questions, and clearly pays attention to details. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable and attentive with your pet!

I can’t fully express what a Godsend Ella is. She’s incredible with Bailey. She gives him so much love and attention. We know we never have to worry about him. She is prompt, flexible, communicative and just overall amazing.

Schedule

I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to invest in your pet's care and happiness! On weekdays I'm typically available from 8 AM to 6 PM. Weekend hours may vary, but I'm generally open from 9 AM to 7 PM. I like to work on a case-by-case basis and am very flexible, communication is key, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs.

I would love to know if your animal has any special needs or accommodations I need to be aware of before booking. I want to be sure I am able to take care of them to the highest of my ability. I have experience with all shapes and sizes, as long as I know what to expect, I'll be just fine.
