Hello!

My name is Ellie and I am a 30 year old animal lover! I am currently offering pet sitting services for cats, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, reptiles and birds.

My services include feeding, grooming, cleaning litter trays and administering medications. I can also water plants and collect your mail. I can offer mornings and evening visits at 45 minutes a visit as well as house sitting.

I do work full time from 7am until 4pm so morning and evening visits would be before and after these times.

My experience includes a degree in Zoology, with 2 years working full time at a boarding cattery and 3 years part time while I completed my studies. This also included care for boarding rabbits and guinea pigs. I also grew up with a cat of my own for 19 years who I loved to pieces!

I have experience working with a range of reptiles including large monitor lizards, snakes and tortoises. I also have two beautiful lizards of my own, a Bearded Dragon called Sprite and a Moroccan Uromastyx called Sonic, they are my pride and joy!!

I worked full-time as a Bird Keeper at Birdworld in Surrey for 6 years, 2 years of which I was Senior Bird Keeper. I worked every day with a variety of species from large parrots to small aviary birds. I am confident working with and caring for exotic species, and sensitive to taking their lead when forming a bond and respecting their boundaries.

In 2024 I worked for 7 months at a Rescue Center in Costa Rica teaching animal care and am now working as a Parrots and Penguins Keeper at Chester Zoo.

I love what I do and I love looking after animals, so you can be confident your pet is in safe and loving hands.

Please get in touch if you think my services would work for you, and I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets!
