Experience/Qualifications:
I’m located in Lincoln, work full time and have a BScAniSci (physiology, welfare, behaviour, training, and equine) and have volunteered at vet clinics over summers in the past. I’ve also passed 2 rounds of vet selection and their exams so I’ve got the skills and experience handling a wide range of breeds, ages, sizes and behaviours. I also completed the required assessments for Customs Drug Detector Dog Handling in 2021. I have an old lab at home so no boarding/house sitting from August 2023.
About me:
My availability during public holidays/summer times can book up months in advance so flick me a message if you’re interested! I’m here to walk, feed, pat and look after your pet/s where and when needed when you're away. I understand pets can get nervous or confused when left alone or in kennels/catteries so I’m here to make that time apart as easy as possible for both you and them while you’re away! They are like big hairy kids after all! I grew up on a lifestyle block surrounded with dogs and other animals my whole life and have years of experience with raising and caring for rabbits, sheep, cows, chickens etc. also. I’ve even done a few sheep shearing seasons and fostered ill hedgehogs! I've always passed police and drug testing and have never had a problem with an animal whilst in my care and company.
Services info:
Walks are 30-60 minutes depending on what your pooch can handle/your preference.
Pet visits usually take 30 minutes. I feed them, check and refresh their water and anything else they need; toilet and let them have a run around the garden if kept inside and will provide top quality company and conversation to ensure they’ve had a good day! A second house visit takes up to 30 minutes to repeat the above jobs (if required). Visits do not include a walk - this is a separate service as per Pawshake services outlines so please do not expect this add on unless you have booked it separately.
I send a photo and/or update (depending on owner preference) during the service and will leave your house clean and tidy as you left it prior to the service. Please specify if your animal baby has specific requirements eg. walking away from other dogs, special food, medication, fears around vehicles/cats/other dogs etc. to make sure the service runs smoothly. Any other questions, please feel free to message me. I look forward to hearing from you!

First time we left our puppy with somebody else and we had an amazing experience with Ellen. Thanks a lot for looking after our boy and giving us the peace of mind knowing that he’s in good hands. We will certainly book Ellen’s services again :-)
Ellen provided excellent comms before and during the stay and our GSP seemed well exercised and content when we got home. Thanks!
