LA Bird Sitting & Boarding by Elle

I’ve had repeated bird sitting experiences with Elle, and she is wonderful! Great communication, sends frequent updates while you are away and I always leave town knowing my babies are in good hands. Highly recommend her!

The best bird sitter in LA! Sends daily updates of your bird and accommodates for their needs. Not only is the care exceptional but it is also enriching. My cockatiel loves to be around a flock while I’m away and always looks forward to a stay at L’s!

It was easy to contact Elle and she was very easy to work with, and very flexible. She took great care of my baby and provided daily updates. 100% recommend!!

Baby (my Sun Conure) was very clearly well-taken care of during her stay with Elle. Before finding Elle, I always worried about leaving Baby behind and refused to go on any vacations or leaving the house for over 2 days. The difference this time was that I needed to return to my childhood home located out of the country to see family that I have not seen for over a decade, and I unfortunately could not leave Baby with a friend after seeing their living situation (no offense to them, it just sadly wasn’t bird-safe) As most bird-owners would know, it is significantly more difficult to find a suitable sitter, as most people don’t know how to care for them, and may own cats and/or dogs and there is a significant risk of accidents happening such as losing the bird if it is fully flighted, teflon fumes from cooking/baking, etc. I will certainly be coming back for Elle’s services on my next vacations! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

My 15 months old conure had an amazing week there and received so much love. Elle and her family were the best I could ask to watch my bird while I was gone for a week. Daily updates and pics made this experience completely stress free for me. Super experienced and available to answer my questions. We can’t wait to go back!

Elle has taken incredible care of my Amazon parrot on many occasions. My parrot has been a treasured part of my family for almost 30 years so I don’t trust her with just anyone! My parrot gets to hang with not just her but her sweet husband and their parrot, Yoshi, as well, and I can rest assured while traveling that she is in good hands. Elle sends periodic pictures and updates as well which set my mind at ease. Your bird will be spoiled with a great "flock" and healthy snacks, head scratches, and solid sleep. Highly recommend!

This review is Long overdue! Elle provided a wonderful bird "staycation" for our family cockatiel, Pancho. If you are a bird owner, you know how hard it can be to entrust your feathered loved one to the care of anyone, even friends and family. The are so many hazards to birds in the average household- scented cleaning products and sprays, cookware, candles, scented plug-ins, drafts, cats...kids- it is basically asking someone to make a lifestyle change just to watch your bird. With Elle being such a dedicated and educated bird owner, we knew Pancho was in caring, loving, and safe hands. Pancho can be feisty, vocal, demanding, neurotic, and aggressive when he's "on one" as he is a generally high-strung male cockatiel. He can also be very sweet and affectionate... when he wants to. Elle was able to work with us in understanding and navigating around Pancho's needs and quirks. We received daily updates with photos and videos with him enjoying himself with his new feathered friends. We were a little worried that Pancho would not adjust well to a different environment and being away from us, and partially expected to get a plucked bird back (he is a plucker when stressed), but he had all his feathers and was a chirpy, happy little guy. He even got a parting gift from Elle! I would definitely recommend LA Bird Sitting by Elle to anyone who wants to ensure their bird is being cared for by someone who knows and loves birds!
