Pet care experience
My first dog I ever walked was my stuffed animal, which quickly turned into a real life puppy for my 6th birthday. 18 years, 4 dogs, and a degree in animal science later I am looking to make some extra income and hang out with your pets! I have a semi flexible schedule and would be thrilled to house and dog sit! I love running with my dog at home and miss out on that in Raleigh, so I would love a running buddy! I have house and dog sat for many people throughout my life and now that I have an old dog that costs lots of money, I hang out with other pets so I can pay her bills. I would be thrilled to be able to love on your pup! Dogs of all ages and sizes are fine! I am also comfortable giving medications!
Reviews
Great experience! Ellen was punctual, so friendly and our pup loved her. Would definitely recommend!
Ellen is fantastic! We have a young special needs dog (deaf and blind) and had to leave him during the day for the first time. Ellen visited four times over two days. She is communicative, caring, and professional. We trust her completely and are relieved and grateful to have found her!!
I can’t thank Ellen enough for taking such great care of our dog and 2 cats while we were away and would highly recommend her services. She was always very punctual with her check-ins and communications, plus provided photos which were so appreciated. Our animals warmed up to her right away! We will absolutely rebook if needed. Thanks, Ellen!
Did a great job, was super responsive, and kind

I live next to Lake Johnson and love to go on walks there. I have a senior dog who lays in my bed all day and my roommate has a super friendly chocolate lab who is always up to play! I am happy to keep your dog safe in your home and neighborhood playing and going on walks as well! I am comfortable giving animals of all sizes a variety of medications as well!
Information Ellen B. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to accommodate most all needs! I am happy to give medications if necessary, including shots. I don't have any breed preferences, as long as your dog is kind to humans I'm good! I understand that all dogs don't get along well with others but do need to know that info beforehand so that I can make sure to avoid other animals if needed!
A typical day
I love exploring and chilling! Happy to accommodate whatever your pet may need! I live next to Lake Johnson and love going on walks around there! We have a great area in the neighborhood for throwing balls and playing with other dogs as well!

Availability
Currently looking for walking jobs in the mornings and evenings, before and after work as well as dogsitting/housesitting gigs! If you live within 10 minutes of NC State's Centennial campus, there are some days that I can do lunchtime walks! I am typically flexible on weekends! I am comfortable staying in others' homes! I do have an old lady dog who likes to tag along with me and make new friends when she can, but it's not necessary, she also loves hanging at my house with my roommates while I'm out making money to pay her vet bills.
