Ellie

I am Ellie, 27 years old, British born. I am a freelance designer and I live in kreuzkölln in a quiet flat. With 2 dog parks walking distance from my flat.

I have experience over the past 2 years looking after foster dogs that arrive straight from the street and shelters. This has been great to learn how to train traumatised dogs to integrate into the city (teaching them how to walk on a lead and socialising them with other dogs in the dog park etc.), so I know how to create a safe calm environment for scared and nervous dogs. I have grown up my whole life with dogs around and regularly look after friends dogs and dog walk.

I don't own a dog myself as I'm not sure how long I will be in the city, but I am motivated to do this job as I constantly want to be around dogs, they make me so happy, and they get me out into nature on nice walks.

I work from home so I am always around for the dog and they are rarely left on their own (all the foster dogs I had couldn't spend any time on their own).

You will always receive regular updates and pictures as I know how much this can help to make you feel comfortable while you away.

My flat is super quiet, and cosy and they will receive so many cuddles here!

I will take any dog into my home, and am happy to take multiple at a time if you own more than one.

Services I provide are dog walking and dog sitting/boarding, whether in your house or mine. As I am self employed I am available most of the time any time of day and am very flexible.

If I am house sitting I can be with the dog most of the day as I work from my laptop so they won't be left for long.

Dog walks depend on the dog but I will walk 2-3 times a day if they are boarding with me. For dog walking I can offer from 30 minutes - 1 hour per walk.
