Hello! I'm Ellie, and I'm here to treat your pets as family! 

With over 30 years of caring for animals, I have a lifetime of experience, literally! I grew up with cats, dogs, frogs, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and fish. As an adult, I got budgies (the chattiest of parrots) and have over 10 years experience with the high quality care parrots need. I adore animals and they tend to adore me! 

While my expertise is currently with cats, dogs, and birds, I am ready and excited to take care of any other animals that come my way. I am not squeemish and have no problems with any kind of pet. Reptiles, spiders, rodents, every pet is fantastic to me!
