Pet care experience

Experienced, reliable dog care!

I’ve always been an animal lover, and I love being around dogs-they have such a positive energy! For the last few years, I have lived with roommates who have dogs and have learned the ins and outs of keeping pups happy and healthy. I also have my own dog, Arthur, a spaniel mix who comes along with me when appropriate - he loves new friends and is very polite and well behaved in new places. Your dog can expect plenty of pats and belly rubs from me, as well as attentive and detail oriented care. I am an active person and I enjoy getting outside and walking as often as I can; having a dog with me makes it all the better! If you provide me with your dogs commands I can be sure to work on its training while you’re away!

Ellen was fantastic in taking care of my pup for a few days! Ellen is extremely communicative and sent plenty of pictures and status updates on how my dog was adjusting. Ellen’s pups, Arthur and Benji, made great companions for my dog and she had a great time romping around with them.

I got pictures, and my puppers was very happy and content. Ellen took my dog on walks and reinforced her training. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thankyou!!

Schedule

I have a very flexible work schedule and I go on daily walks and training sessions in the park with my own dogs. I understand all dogs are different so I like to get a good understanding of the routines for the pets in my care so I can make sure that they are as happy and comfortable as possible while owners are away!
