Buol Pet Sitting

I'm a mom of 3 awesome grown people and avid animal lover! I've owned multiple pets my entire life! I've provided many pet owners with outstanding pet care for many years! I've cared for horses, chickens, dogs, cats, birds, reptiles...you name it! I love all animals and understand that they are a part of the family! I'm honest, reliable and will provide your pets with the best care possible! My kids love animals as much as I do! They love that we get to welcome all kinds of dogs in our house for us to care for while their owners are away. We are a house full of love for all animals!

Our dog had a great time staying with Ellen. He returned home happy and tired. Ellen provided pictures and updates during his stay. Our dog, Snooker, had such a great time, we are happy he even wanted to come home!

Maggie has stayed with Ellen a couple times now and I know she has a great time because she comes home exhausted. The texts, photos and videos Ellen sends are great and I’ll continue to book with her.

Ellen was incredible! Hank got to play with her dogs and a dog she was also sitting, he LOVED it! She has a beautiful, cozy home with a nice backyard which was huge for Hank to run around and play! Thanks Ellen!
