Hi! My name is Ellie and I grew up in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne with a couple of dogs (a border collie x kelpie and a bull mastiff), a couple of ducks, guinea pigs and a whole lot of budgies and quails that lived in the avery my brothers and I built in the back yard. I had a pet rabbit in my 20s/30s, that I took from Melbourne to New Zealand when I moved there for several years. I also drove my fish down in their tank from Brisbane to Melbourne earlier this year when I moved back. I adore animals and am always up for pats and cuddles with a new furry mate. I am eager and able to look after a variety of animals, stick to routines and create a comfortable environment. I am comfortable dispensing medications, tending to the more delicate ceatures with care, and cleaning up messes of any size. Growing up with large, energetic rescue dogs has also given me an ability to be firm and in control while keeping calm when the situation calls for it. Over the past several years I have established myself as the ‘go to’ person to look after my friends and family’s wide range of pets. I am available for long and short term house sitting at any time, and dog walking and home visits on weeked. I work full time, with a minimum of three days in the office (8hr days) and as a morning person, I am always ready for the early morning walks and feedings before I head into the office. I am tidy, polite and will look after your pets and home with care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
