Hi, I'm Ellen. Crazy doggo mum and cat lady. I'm also a mother to two wonderful neurodiverse children. I am a perinatal peer support worker with previous experience in childcare and am currently undertaking a mental health qualification. I am exceedingly lucky to also have alot of free time on my hands to give to my love of animals.
I've grown up looking after animals that my family had fostered or looked after, some with serve behaviour issues and those that have been very unwell or have had limbs amputated.
My own pets have come to me through family and friends having unexpected litters, family circumstances changing and illness
Family adventures include our furry family too with lots of adventures and getting muddy including wild camping when we can.
I would love to help give your furry family some muddy adventures or just a cuddle and some company when your off doing the human things we have to do.
I have experience with behaviour issues including aggression, I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and seeking and working with professionals when the needed. I am happy to help train and work with your dog or cat in some cases by building a positive and loving relationship and following your preferred training method, training classes or behavioural therapist advice to ensure good results and safety.

I have a very young westie puppy Bai Bai at home and Ellen has been so kind and helpful to look after Bai Bai when I need to focus on work. Ellen has been keen to share puppy caring tips with me, and has even offered some extra time to support me when I am mentally nervous and stressed being a first time dog owner. I will continue booking Ellen's time for home visits and even dog walking in the future when Bai Bai can have more outdoor time! Thank you Ellen!
