Professional Pet Sitter & Vet Tech

Pet care experience

I am a Nashville Native and active member of our “Critter Community” here in Franklin, TN! At a very young age I found animals close to my heart. In my aspirations to learn all things Pet, I discovered the progressive need for cage free boarding & professional petsitting! After 15 years caring for family companions, I can endorse that compassion, loyalty, & the highest quality of care are deserved for our furry friends when away from family. I am a certified Veterinary Technician, now reaching over 10 years in veterinary medicine experience. •Attended Auburn University; further continued my studies in Agriculture (Animal Science) at MTSU. I share a passion for our local shelters & rescues, spay/neuter programs, Fear Free pet care, behavioral study, preventative medicine. I love all things to do with pets, wildlife, veterinary, and the preservation of our great State, Tennessee. I have 3 adopted dogs of my own and two cats who adopted me!

Ellen stayed in our home with our standard poodle for 4 nights and did an excellent job. We received lots of photo updates, and our dog got the exercise and attention she needed. Our house looked great as well when we returned. We will book again!

Ellen was great at communicating with me to make arrangements. She sent lots of photos and gave a detailed report. No issues! I would book her again.
