About Ella

Hi there! I'm a full-time pet caregiver with over 250 five star reviews and a lifelong love for animals. As a former intern at the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center, I gained hands-on experience caring for pets with diverse needs. I've been walking, sitting, and boarding pets for neighbors, friends, and family since middle school and transitioned into professional pet care in February 2024. I'm also certified in Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid. Growing up with two cats and a dog taught me the importance of responsible, patient, and compassionate care. I'd describe my personality as grounded, warm, and honest. I love creating a safe, loving environment (especially for pets with anxiety or special needs) and always prioritize both the pet's well-being and the owner's peace of mind. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, cooking, reading, journaling, practicing yoga, and spending time with friends and family.
