I work part time, and shift work, so I can be flexible around what you need. I drive, so am happy to travel to look after your creatures, and for vet trips if they were needed

Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

My cat-sitting record is 9 in one household, and foster record is 8 kittens plus mum (would not recommend - this is the cutest form of chaos and carnage) If your cats are indoor and outdoor, I'll always let you know who I've seen and who I haven't!

Information Ellen M. would like to know about your pet

Learning about their oddities is my favourite, but I'll need to know what and when they like to eat, any medication, and any weird habits that would panic me if I didn't know about them

A typical day

I'll love on your cats like I do my own, unless they don't want lovin' on! I love learning about each cat's little quirks. Favourite toy is a cotton bud? Great! Let's play with cotton buds! Needs four water bowls and will want the tap on as soon as I arrive? Great! Let's be hydrated! You can only poop if I watch? Great...let's get weird and do that then.

Cat care experience

Hi! I'm Ellen, I'm 37 and an avid cat...owner. I mean, they're a nightmare, aren't they? I work for the emergency services and have fostered for a local cat rescue for 4 years. I have four cats of my own 🧡 and guinea pigs and a hamster too. Experienced with kittens from 4 weeks old, to my wretched 19 year old Tortie. I love her with every fibre of my being but God she's awful. Happy to do medication, and have experience with post-operative care (neuters, amputations and dentals). LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodivergent, so I won't be bothered if your house is chaos or your husband's boyfriend might pop by.

Ellen and Apollo now go back a long time. So much so that he does not hide from her anymore - high praise from this incredibly timid cat.

Third time of using Ellen and can not recommend her enough. Flat always left perfectly, cat still alive and she seems to take the best photos of Apollo when she visits. Easy five stars.

Not the first time we have chosen Ellen to look after Apollo while away for five nights. Respectful of property, regular updates and the cat survived! Easy five stars. Would recommend.
