About

Hi there! I am a friendly, considerate, non-smoking, clean and responsible single 43 yr old professional. I work as a paediatric nurse and occasional yoga/mindfulness teacher. I love all animals, and grew up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs and lizards at home. I love to sped my free time in nature, walking, doing yoga and exploring new places. I have house sat many times for friends, family, and professionally. I am reliable and trustworthy and I pride myself on taking extra care of pets and houses as if they were my own. I will be respectful of your home and privacy. I will water your plants and maintain your garden too! I have a lot of love to give to your beautiful animals, and will always ensure they are well looked after with plenty of walks if required and lots of love! I am heading back to the house sitting lifestyle as I love change, and I love to explore different suburbs and corners of Melbourne. Also, the idea of non-attachment to a house is something that really appeals to me! Given I already work as a paediatric nurse, I am required to have working with children’s checks up to date, and therefore police checks.

I am always happy to have a phone call, or meet you in person so you can decide if I'm a good fit for you, your pet and your home.

I have references attached and I look forward to hearing from you!

Ellie was a wonderful sitter for my two cats - very relatable, reliable, caring and easy to communicate with. I could completely trust that Ellie would contact me if needed - on one occasion my cat hasn't come come and thanks to Ellie's careful observation and proactive approach he could be found quickly, being locked in at a neighbours shed. This was super important for me being far away overseas I would highly recommend Ellie for pet and house sitting without any reservation. She is a lovely and wonderful person, very honest and she will go out of her way to ensure that your pets are well. Ellie also has a remarkable way of connecting with pets - my cats warmed up to her very quickly which was already evident in our first meeting...

Elly was wonderful! Elly looked after my 2 cats and my little apartment for almost 4 weeks while I was overseas. I was very anxious and Elly made me feel so comfortable right from our first contact and I felt reassured the entire time, that my cats were still living their best lives. Elly was especially attentive to the medical needs of 1 of my cats who doesn’t deal well with change or stressful situations. She came and met the cats twice before I left to ensure that they felt comfortable and familiar with her before I left and also administered him his medication.. Elly was very proactive in her communication and she provided me with regular updates and cute little photos of my cats throughout my trip which really allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday! Thankyou! I came home to a wonderfully clean house, 2 very happy cats and fresh sheets on the bed. I will absolutely reach out to Elly again in the future and definitely recommend her as a sitter. Thanks so much again Elly! :)

From the moment I met Elly, I knew our beloved dog and house would be in safe hands while we were away and I was right. Elly lived at our place while we were overseas for six weeks in May/June 2024 and we came home to find everything in perfect order. Our dog was content and well-adjusted, she had obviously enjoyed her time with Elly, and our house was immaculate. Plus Elly had attended to all those little things, like starting our cars once a week, collecting the mail, watering pot plants, etc. She also kept in touch while we were overseas, sending regular written updates and photos. I will definitely be contacting Elly again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.

I can't recommend Elly highly enough. She took exceptional care of my two cats and apartment for a week in November 2019 while I was interstate. Elly was excellent to deal with: communicative, friendly, organised, flexible. She provided updates on the cats while I was away and took great care to clarify care and medication instructions. When I returned, the cats were very happy and relaxed - clearly they'd enjoyed their time with her - and my apartment was immaculate (with fresh flowers!). I will definitely be contacting Elly again and hoping she is available!

Elly house and dog sat for us for 3.5 weeks in July/August 2019 and I am delighted to provide this review for her to use for future house sits. Having used HHS 4 times already I kept thinking that the next sitter couldn't be better than the last (who was fantastic) but I was wrong as Elly was excellent and i would trust our dogs and home to her again without hesitation. From our initial communication Elly was timely in replying, polite and respectful always and proved to be the same in person when she came for an informal interview and to meet our two Pekingese. Elly is smart and full of common sense and cared for our pets kindly (one required eye drops and tablets) sending updates with photos every week or so. The house was left very clean and tidy, fresh sheets on the bed, fruit in the fruit bowl and flowers on the kitchen table which was a lovely surprise to come home to. I recommended her highly if you are looking for a house/pet sitter. Meg Thorley
