About Ellen

Hello! I'm Ellen, a third year PhD student at Macquarie University. I grew up on Sydney Northern Beaches, but have lived in different areas including the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs. I spent 2 years in the Northern Rivers of NSW and have spent the last 12 months living in the Netherlands as part of a research placement.
I'm a sessional academic at Macquarie University. And when my head isn't in the books, I like to go for swims or a surf if I'm by the coast. Otherwise I like to go for walks/exercise, try out new cafes and explore to take my mind off writing a thesis.
I've always grown up with pets including dogs and cats. And I've constantly housesat/petsat for dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. I'm confident in being able to care for your animals, to give medications if necessary, walk them and of course love and play with them. Having pets around also helps me take regular study breaks, have a play and stretch the legs. Pets help me out just as much so I really like being able to care for them.
I have done pet sitting through Mad Paws in the past but have just reactivated my account.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets :)...
