I like walks. I like dogs.
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs my whole life. As I was busy being born, my father was giving our Labrador Retriever a tomato bath after he was sprayed by a skunk. We're dog people. I currently live with Ani, the sweetest Bernese Mountain Dog, and my second best friend is Ketchup, my best friend's Dachshund-Beagle roommate. I work with goats, and due to my experience with them, am very comfortable administering all types of medicine. I love to take really long walks and spend as much time as humanly possible with animals. My availability is fairly flexible: I am a neighborhood community organizer part time, and I spend the rest of my time in parks. I am comfortable with all animals. I'd love to add your pets to my network of animal friends.

I owe my sanity to Ellen. I have one yellow lab puppy, one 3 year old bloodhound and one 7 year old Husky.. Yes, that is 3 big dogs........ In. the. city. It is an immense amount of work to take good care of them all and Ellen is the only one I trust to do it. Feeding can be a dramatic affair and she handles it like the queen of the pack. She is reliable, trustworthy, patient and playful. If we won't be back in town until later in the day, Ellen goes above and beyond to come and let them out after her pre-negotiated responsibilities have ended. The dogs love her and so do we.
I've known Ellen for about 9 years and she has always been a dog person. About 3 years ago, I adopted a Dachshund-Beagle mix and Ellen is the only person I trust to take care of him if I'm not around. She's great at handling any size dog on a leash and always has the energy to play with a pupper. I'd highly recommend Ellen if you need someone to care for your dog!
