Safety, trust & environment

⚡️I can match the energy of your pet. I am happy to be energetic with an animal who loves to play, or hang back and let a shy pet approach me first and slowly build trust that way. 💕 Safety and gentle care are my utmost priorities. I will care for your fur baby like it’s my own! I understand that sometimes it can feel scary for an animal to meet a new person, so I approach pets with kindness, a calm demeanor, and lots of patience.

Information Eleanor W. would like to know about your pet

🐶 Let me know if there are any special details about your pet I should know about! I am happy to accommodate or adapt my care based on their specific needs and preferences. Ex. my dog doesn’t love long walks but he likes to play inside, my cat prefers not to be pet.

A typical day

🎾 I love to play! I personally love to spend time outdoors and am very active, so I am happy to play with an energetic pet. 🛋️ I am also a big fan of snuggles and chill time, so am happy to do whatever your pet needs.

Calm & gentle cat shelter volunteer

Cat care experience

Hello! My name is Elle. It’s nice to meet you! I am a certified huge cat lover… they’re my favorite animal! 😸 🐾 I am also a volunteer at a cat shelter (ex. post spay/neuter care, elderly cats, kitten care, socializing spicy kitties who are new to the shelter). 🤍 I love anxious and shy kitties! Most of my cat clients fall into this category. I provide a calm demeanor and gentle approach that allows them to warm up to me on their own timeline. 💕 To a kitty, I am a mystery person in their home! I am respectful of this and make sure to honor the cat’s boundaries, ex. slowly allowing them to warm up to me, having patience, and being mindful of their personal space and body language. 🐈 I have 2 years of experience caring for a cat with chronic respiratory problems (ex. cleaning her face/fur, administering oral medication). 🦮 I would describe my pet care style as warm, relaxed, and conscientious… I prioritize creating a calm and happy experience for your pet while providing you with detailed summaries and timely communication!

Eleanor did a wonderful job dropping in to care for our cat while we were out of town. She sent detailed updates each day and some very cute photos, too. Her competence and care for animals really put us at ease. Would book again!

Elle was communicative and took great care of my cat! My cat takes oral medications that sometimes requires extra maneuvering / convincing and Elle was thorough and adapted to the situation well. Thank you Elle!!

Eleanor was great with Luna while we were on vacation! Luna warmed up to her super quickly. Eleanor spent time sitting / playing with Luna each day on her visit and sent us lots of pictures and updates!

Eleanor was so thoughtful while watching my cat. She started with a meet & greet to make sure things would go smoothly and then gave great updates so I knew how every visit went and the care could be adjusted as needed. I came home to a happy and healthy pet. Thank you!
