Ellen's Dog Boarding
Pet care experience
I am an RN I have had dogs for 42 years. I also do cat rescue and have cats in my home. . I do agility with my dogs and have a mini course set up in my backyard. I have experience giving dogs and cats medications. I play ball and walk my pets and can do simple grooming. I am retired now and I am home all day,available weekdays, weekends and holidays.. . I cook for my pets, chicken, hardboiled eggs. I can only take dogs that are good with cats. I also have 2 spare rooms upstairs if the dogs need to be away from other pets. My home is fully air conditioned in summer and heated in winter. We have lots of dog toys and beds. I live in a neighborhood with shady tree lined streets , which is perfect for walks. In winter if there is a lot of snow, I shovel trails for the dogs to walk in the yard. My yard is fully fenced with a deck and a lot of shade. In summer the dogs love to lie on the deck with me. I am an outdoor person and go out in all kinds of weather. Of course if your dog is a couch potato, we can handle that too. I have tile and wood floors so messes are an easy clean up. The furniture is not off limits and I like snuggling with my dogs and cats. I have loved animals all my life and really enjoy taking care of them. I can do some obedience training and I can also handle dogs recovering from surgery. I can also handle dogs not fully house trained like puppies or elderly dogs. My dogs ages are: 10 and 5 years old.
Reviews
We boarded our 3 year old Airedale terrier with Ellen for a week over Thanksgiving. Everything was good. Ellen is kind and very loving towards animals, and this was important to us. Our dog is a bit high maintenance, demands attention & entertainment. Ellen played with her in the backyard. Xena also got along well with the other dog, and the cats (very chill cats). We would definitely use Ellen again.
The sweetest person I have ever met! She made sure my little girl was comfortable and that she had fun! For sure will be having my mia stay over plenty of more times!
Zanfini was excellent with Scotty. She kept me up to date by sending me pictures of Scotty eating and exercising (chasing squirrels). Scotty loved his stay with Zanfini.
This is first time I had to leave my Puggle with someone other than family. She is a very friendly dog but has become quite lazy in her days. Ellen and her friendly family of dogs and cats gave Sandy a brand new experience!! She has never had so much fun and exercise since she was an active puppy. After picking her up she was happy and exhausted at the same time. I would definitely recommend Ellen to anyone who needs a dog sitter as you will be pleased with her kindness and know your dog will be like part of her family too. Ellen I just want to say "Thank you for taking such good care of my baby girl!!!"
