Hi there 🤗,
My name's Ellie, I'm a 30 year old Part Time Social worker. I have 20 years experience with animals and 10 years professional experience.
I worked as an animal attendant at a large animal welfare organsiation. I continue to volunteer as a foster carer for special needs dogs and cats. I have proudly fostered over 90 dogs and cats now!
I have worked as a pet sitter for many years. I can provide extensive references from both sitting customers, and a professional reference from The Animal Welfare Organisation I volunteer with.
My expertise is with special needs dogs that suffer with anxiety, reactivity, or medical related challenges.
I understand it's awful having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s hands when you go away. I promise to follow your instructions, keep you updated and care for your pet like my own. You can write me a novel and have very particular instructions. I want to be sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. It's genuinely important to me.
My hope is that when your pet is in my care, they feel like they are on a luxurious vacation or a super fun American summer camp!
About My Home:
Your baby will always be indoors unless they choose to use the doggy door to go outside... Or if they require a doorman, I can be that too 😉
Your pet can choose where they want to sleep and I will cater to their needs. I really love helping animals to feel super comfy and relaxed. It's like a dopamine hit for me :) I have a vast collection of dog beds they can chose from if they decide they don't want to use their own.... I'm sincerely sorry to your dog in advance for my partner's snoring. I often end up sleeping in the spair room with the dogs... One less warm body to share the bed with :)
I have a medium fully fenced secure back yard with doggy door access.
You'll see in my pictures the front yard is nice and grassy, it is fully fenced but the dogs don't have access to that unless I take them out with strict supervision. Just because it's right by a public footpath. I take them out once or twice a day to have a sniff around and scream at the innocent people walking by minding their own business.
There are no stairs, Just a small step and I can organise a ramp if needed.

Please read a note from Hercules:
Woof 🐕
Hercules here, I'm a handsome flooffy Maltese cross. Although my mum's care and home is suitable to all dogs, I can be fussy.
Overly boisterous behaviour creeps me out and I can be frightened by overly excited pets. We can set up a meet and greet prior to ensure its an appropriate fit. But to save you some time, I only kick it with placid dogs that don’t harass me for play time.
Don't get me wrong. I like to wrestle, but if I'm not in the mood or you're too in my face, I will throw a tantrum and scream at you. I enjoy spending time with dogs that listen to my boundaries.
All my dog friends would agree that I respect their boundaries, I don't steal their food and I don't mind sharing my things and my mum.
Please come over and help me scream out the window at people walking by minding their own business.
Thank you for reading our profile 🌸

Had a really good experience with Ellie on every level… We felt like she had good attention to detail and looked after Archie like her very own. Thank you so much Ellie!
Miffy had a a great time at Ellie’s place with Hercules 🐶. Ellie kept me updated on my puppy while I was at work and was accommodating to the hours I needed. Thanks you for looking after Miffy.
