Highlights
Pet care experience
Tiki Time Caregiving!
My first dog I ever walked was my stuffed animal, which quickly turned into a real life puppy for my 6th birthday. 24 years, 7 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 getting out and about on walks and would love to have your pet join me! I have house and dog sat for many people throughout my life and enjoy getting to meet so many different families and their pets and being trusted to care for them. I started out on Rover four years ago when I adopted my senior mutt, Tiki, to help cover her extra special vet bills she started racking up and it was so great in helping me support her love of prescription medications. She recently passed and Rover has been so helpful in keeping me busy and providing me the opportunity to hang out with so many pets and get some snuggles in since her passing. Dogs of all ages and sizes are fine! I am also comfortable giving medications! Cats are welcome as well!

Safety, trust & environment
I will need to know if there is an enclosed are to let the pet out in, if they are an escape artist, do they have a special hiding spot, etc. If we go on walks, are there any areas to avoid? Do they get along with children or other people? Do we avoid dogs? Will they pull if they hear something loud or see something in particular? Happy to accommodate all needs, just need to know how your pet works best! I live next to Lake Johnson and love to go on walks there. 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!
Ratings and reviews
Ellen is wonderful with our cats! She is friendly, caring, and reliable, and we really liked her from the moment we met her. She keeps us updated and we feel very comfortable knowing our cats are in good hands with her. We’d definitely recommend her!
Ellen was fantastic! She was very communicative and descriptive when she watched my cat. I would 100% recommend her services and I’ll definitely be booking with her again :)
Ellen was great with our pup Sadie and our cat Moose. We could tell she truly spent quality time with them which meant so much. We will use her again!
Ellen was very responsible with my dog, she was reliable & willing to walk him in the afternoon. Very trustworthy person! 🩵🐕

Schedule
I provide pet and child care full time! There are rare days that dogs don't have me out walking at least 6 miles. I am typically flexible on weekends! I am comfortable staying in others' homes!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsEllen can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- I am happy to accommodate most all needs! I am willing and able 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!
