About Ellie
Hello! My name is Ellie, I am 22 years old and I have always had so much love and passion for animals. I have grown up around all types of animals and continued my love for animals during my study at Adelaide university where I completed my first year of Veterinary Technology I'm 2021. I have completed animal husbandry courses where I learnt how to professionally handle a range of animals including domestic, wildlife and production animals.
I am now currently studying veterinary medicine at Adelaide University and am in my 2nd year.
I have been volunteer as the RSPCA and worked in the vet clinic where I handle beautiful fur babies all day that need our care. I also volunteer as the wildlife and koala hospital in Adelaide where I devote my time to those who need help. I also volunteered overseas in the Maldives in 2020 with marine life for 2 weeks.
I am fortunate enough so work at a cafe that is very welcoming to all kinda of dogs which provided me with the opportunity to begin caring for customers pets when they went away. Once my name got out their I was house sitting for many customers looking after a range of dogs from golden retrievers, American staffy, red nosed staffy, German short haired pointers, beagles, pugs, Maltese X and a few cats aswell. I would love to continue caring for your animals in anyway that's needed, whether it's just a drop in to check on them, a walk, or overnight care for a period of time.
I have a border collie named Zahra who is 2 years old. She is my whole world and I can empathise with the love other pet owners feel about their fur babies. She is a lover of other dogs and absolutely adores spending time with them. It is up to you whether she can tag along or if your pup isn't very keen on other dogs, that is absolutely fine. Please note I do not accept extensive periods of house sitting anymore as Zahra does not cope. Please reach out to me to have a chat about whether or not I would be able house sit for you!
I have a variety of mornings and afternoons off and can accommodate to your needs. I take my girl zahra for a walk ranging from 20 minutes - 1 hour and also a nice big trip to the beach each week. According to your dog I can offer whatever they need but know I am willing to take them for a nice decent walk or just a small walk if that's all they require. Walking my dog is not only beneficial to her but I find it a perfect way to maintain my fitness and detach from the stressors of life. It's not always possible for us to walk our fur babies everyday as life can get it the way so I would love to help not only yourself out, but your four legged friends live their best life.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur child soon! :)
