About Ellen

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats from the moment I was born—pets have always been an extension of the family. I have a deep love for animals and studied biology with a focus on animal behaviour at university. Recently, I had the joy of helping my black lab give birth to seven puppies and raised her litter.

Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, including spaniels, retrievers, labradors, dalmatians, dachshunds, vizslas, and whippets. I’m comfortable looking after dogs of all ages and most breeds—even exotic ones! With experience from over 30 successful sitting experiences back in the UK, I provide reliable, loving, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs.

Services I offer:

  • Dog walking: minimum 30 minute walks, around Grey Lynn Park and nearby safe routes.
  • Doggy daycare / home visits: Ensuring pets are never left alone for longer than 1 hour. I can also water plants and bring in the mail.
  • Dog boarding / house sitting: I supervise pets 24/7. Pets are never left alone for longer than 1 hour. I can host up to 2 dogs at a time in my home. I can also administer medication if needed and assist with basic training or grooming.

My home and routine:

  • Fully fenced, secure garden for playtime.
  • Guest pets can sleep indoors on dog beds, couches, or other designated areas.
  • I live with my partner Jack in a three bedroom villa, and pets are welcome throughout the house.
  • I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

I spend as much time as possible with pets so they’re never left out of sight. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where every pet feels happy, cared for, and part of the family.
