Ella

Kia ora, I’m Ella! I have years of experience caring for, and living with, pets of varying species, breeds, sizes, ages and needs; including elderly pets, rescue animals and those requiring daily medication. As a deeply caring person who absolutely adores animals I put my all into looking after the pets in my care, giving them all of the love that they deserve :)

I offer pet/house-sitting all over the country. I love being able to bring comfort and ease to both homeowners - so that they can rest easy knowing their fur-family is being cared for as they deserve to be and their house looked after, and to their beautiful fur-babies - providing love and care in their own home where they are most comfortable.

While not on housesits I offer dog walking and day visits for all pets :)

My love for animals has always been a big part of who I am and I feel strange whenever I'm not around them. I grew up around animals everyday, with beautiful fur-family (and scaly, with various fish over the years as well) members at home, and spent many weekends on our family friend's vegetarian farm with sheep, cows, pigs, chickens and horses. I have been pet/housesitting and walking dogs off and on for 7 years now; permanently in this past year :)

I work part time online in administration, and am currently building up my own digital art business. Working from home allows me to be available to the pets in my care day and night for as many cuddles, playtimes and walks as their hearts desire!

I pride myself on being trustworthy, respectful and reliable. I am clean and tidy, taking great care in all that I do - always putting as much love and effort into looking after another's fur-babies and home as I would my own. I enjoy keeping in touch with owners while they are away, sending regular photos of their fur-babies, giving you absolute peace of mind while you enjoy your time away.

My hobbies include travelling, art, keeping fit, photography, being out in nature, yoga, spending time with my friends and family, and of course - being around any, and all, animals. I’ve spent the last few years travelling, spending time with and caring for family, volunteering, working as a nanny + dog carer and as a teacher in ECE. 

I am so excited to look after, and love, your beloved pets and home as I would my own. If you feel I could be a good fit for you and your fur-family please do get in touch, I’d love to chat further about how I can help! You can see some of my references in my profile gallery :)

I'm a non-smoker, have a completely clean police record and am very happy to answer any questions you may have! 

Please note that pricing may go up to $65 per day when caring for a larger number of pets depending on the level of, and nature of, care required - e.g. multiple unwell animals, more than 4 dogs requiring walking, large number of farm animals etc.
