Hi, I’m Ellen. I’m originally from Ireland ☘️ but living in Berlin for nearly seven years. I’m a lifelong dog lover with a special fondness for rescue dogs and big breeds like German Shepherds. I recently lost my beloved dog, Cato, whom I cared for his entire life—from a scared rescue puppy to a boisterous, high-energy adolescent, through his precious senior years and health challenges until he passed at 14. I deeply miss the companionship of dogs and would love to help care for yours, whether through pet sitting, walks, or drop-in visits.

I have years of hands-on experience, particularly with large dogs, seniors, and those needing medication or extra attention. I know all the best dog-friendly spots in Berlin, from charming city parks to the idyllic lakes of Grünau and Grunewald. I understand how to read their body language, respect their routines, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

I live in a 60sqm ground floor (no stairs!) apartment, which is especially helpful for older dogs or those with mobility issues. My home has a small private terrace and several rugs to provide a secure, non-slip surface. Dogs are always welcome on the furniture, and I have multiple cosy beds available to help them feel at home.

Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just a calm and caring presence, I’d be happy to provide it. If you have any questions or specific needs, feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pup!
