About Ellena

After having used Pawshake myself to arrange sitters to look after my cat, I know the importance of having a responsible and reliable local sitter. I want you to be at ease knowing that your furry companions are being safely looked-after by someone who genuinely cares for them. 

I am a part-time web editor for a charity and an after-school tutor (with enhanced DBS) working mainly from home. I have flexibility in my working day and would love to spend more of my time with animals. 

I have grown up with cats and, over the years, have done dog-walking and looked after friends’ pets whilst they’ve been away. I also volunteer at The Moggery cat rehoming centre in Bristol, where I help care for the resident cats and kittens.

I can offer home visits and dog walking within the local area. During visits, I will make sure your pets are well-looked after, whether that means they want to play, be brushed or stroked, or simply have some company. I will make sure their food and water are replenished, and dishes and litter box cleaned. I will always send you updates with photos of each visit, to make sure you feel reassured that your pet is safe and well. I’m also happy to do any other small household tasks, such as watering the plants (I love gardening!), so please just ask. 

I’m located in BS9 and can only do very local visits. I am happy to travel to anyone within a 10-minute cycle ride. Please do let me know what area you’re in, so I can check if it’s feasible. 

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting local furry friends!

Ellena came to look after my cat Bambi while I was away at work. As it was my first time using a sitter I was a but nervous, but Ellena was really lovely when she came to meet us and while I was away she sent updates and pictures after every visit and I came home to a happy, well looked after cat. Would definitely ask Ellena to come again and highly recommend to others!

Absolutely fantastic. We always feel guilty and nervous going away as we have 2 cats that are social and like attention. Finding a good and reliable sitter who reassures us they’ll be well looked after isn’t easy. Ellena was outstanding, giving them all the attention and playtime they wanted, with excellent communication and lovely photos as updates. Net result was 2 very very happy cats when we returned. Highly recommended.
