12. Ella N.
“I’ve known Ella Novakowski over 18 years. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a dog caregiver for Rover! She had always had a dog(s) for a pet. Her family raises Labrador retrievers. I’ve observed Ella feeding, cleaning crates, training and loving on the puppies to socialize them for their new homes. She loves our 3 Cairn terriers and enjoys taking them for walks. Ella also cares for her chickens and trained her dogs not to chase them. She also learned to ride on my horse and quickly became a confident rider and was able to safely load and unload my horse in the trailer and care for him. Ella has an excellent work ethic, she is a mature and responsible caregiver for dogs and other animals.”
