Ella

My name's Ella and I'm a 23 year old actuary in training who has recently moved to bristol!

I love going on nice long walks on Clifton downs which is very local to me and praciticing yoga daily. I have one roommate who is also an animal lover and will be in the property throughout the week to help out looking after pets.

I am an animal loving vegetarian who has always enjoyed looking after pets. I have a family cat who lives with family and whilst I lived at home would get round the clock attention and be my companion whilst working from home. I am very excited to have the opportunity to petsit as I am definitely missing being around animals through the day. I would love to help out in anyway I can, walking dogs was one of my favourite hobbies over lockdown.

I have experience looking after my own cat, my friends cats and during lockdown I walked 3 dogs at least once a week for over an hour.

As my profile suggests I'm happy to sit either dogs or cats of any shape, size or age! With dog boarding and doggy day care I will only be looking after your dogs at the time of the stay or visit to your house, I can only offer to help with up to 2 dogs at a time. When your dog stays with us we live in a 2 bedroom flat, we usually spend time in the living room, serve food and water in the kitchen but will let your dog roam where they’d like! I’m happy for dogs to sleep where they’d like to, in the past they’ve slept in my room in their bed. Whilst your dog is being looked after us they will not be left alone and will be watched 24/7.

Whilst your dog stays the length of walks and amount will vary on your usual habits, we like to mirror what they’re used to (typically a walk at breakfast, lunch and after dinner) as well as for the length of walk they’re used to. There is no garden and we are not on the ground floor so there is no chance of your dog getting lost! But we make sure to take them outside every hour or so to go to the toilet.

For dog walking services we offer the same as for dog boarding and day care, trying to mirror what they’re used to.

I am happy to help with dog sitting/boarding for short stays, I love having dogs over and taking them for nice long walks in the local parks.

I am also looking to help cats out either by going for home visits and making sure they're ok, giving them lots of cuddles and attention (if they'd like it)! Similar to dog services I will visit your cat at the times you request, usually what time they’re used to being fed.

I work from home mainly apart from occasionally going into the office I keep my calendar up to date with my availability.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your lovely pets!
