Animal lover

Pet care experience

I’m a part time home health occupational therapist who loves animals so much, I want to love on more pets in my free time! 🐾 I take lots of pictures, write a summary each visit, and always make sure to give each pet lots of love!! I usually like to stay to give pets the attention they need for as long as I have (within reason), so I most often stay over the 30 minutes (or however long you book).

Ellen is super responsible and our kitties loved her! Everyday we received wonderful photos showing how much fun they had with Ellen! I never worried about anything while we were gone because I knew the kitties were in the best hands. Ellen's communication was superb!

I recently relocated to Indy for work and do not know anyone in the area. I’ve never previously had anyone watch my dogs aside from family, so I was a bit nervous utilizing an app in search for someone to care for my dogs. Ellen came over for a meet and greet, and I was a bit nervous as to how it would go as my Rottweiler can be apprehensive with strangers and will bark/growl, but the minute Ellen walked through the door he went to her without hesitation and began wagging his tail inviting her to pet him as if he’d known her all his life—no growling or barking—which surprised me! Ellen took excellent care of my boys while I was on a work trip. She sent me daily updates and a ton of pictures which completely put me at ease, I had 0 anxieties or worries about them while I was gone. I will book continue to book with her any time I need to leave town. She is so warm and kind and obviously animals can sense that! If I could leave her a 10 star rating I would! Thank you Ellen :)

I offer pet drop-ins as well as walks. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am very responsible when it comes to making sure to lock up after drop-ins and walks and often respectfully tidy up just a bit while I am there. I also am generally willing to negotiate price! If you feel your pet is pretty easy to care for, I’m happy to talk about lowering price!!

Information Ellen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I should be aware of prior to the visit. If you have any questions about care for your pets, I’m happy to answer! ** Last but not least, I am currently pregnant, due on July 2nd, but am still planning to work until the baby comes. I will update my profile to put my services on hold as soon as I can after the baby comes, but should be fairly available until that time! **

A typical day

Typically, I work 3 days per week out in the field and then 2 from home doing paperwork. I tend to have a very flexible schedule and love to stay active, so I’m happy to have a pet to go visit or take on walks!
