Pet care experience
I have been a dog lover my whole life. I am very familiar with large and small dogs. I grew up with a terrier and in adulthood my husband and I have been the proud owners of 4 beloved labs and now one beagle! Currently, we own a ten-year-old mixed rescue lab and a one-year-old rescue beagle. Our lab mix is on medication so we are familiar with medical issues. Over the years we have watched many of our family and friends’ pets. Our pets are friendly with both people and other dogs. We do not have any children so we consider them our furry children. My husband is retired and I work part-time so someone will be at our home at all times. We would accept caring for dogs any day of the week and for either short-term or long-term stays. Our yard Is well-equipped to safeguard dogs and allow for plenty of playtime with our 2 rescues. It is fenced, we have a doggy door and in the summer dogs can swim in our in ground pool. If your dog would rather take walks in the neighborhood we would gladly do that instead. We also have a dog park nearby.
Reviews
I can’t say enough about Ellen & Brian. Our Desi got along well With her own 2 dogs and I did not worry one bit about her care while we were away on vacation! Ellen sent updates via text as well as photos and videos to ease Our mind of how well she was doing. Desi is notorious for not eating for a day or two while away from Home, and we told Ellen to expect that…. she proved us wrong by sending us videos of her eating every meal for Her. That confirmed to us that Desi felt at Home and loved staying with Ellen & Brian! We have found our new favorite dog sitters!!❤️
Ellen and Brian were awesome! They took such great care of our pup, Scout. They sent videos and updates throughout the trip and were super flexible after our flight got canceled and Scout needed to stay an extra night. He has been sleeping since he got home and can’t wait to go back when we go on our next vacation.
Ellen and Brian were absolutely wonderful with our little Lucy! They have a perfect place that is so dog friendly and comfortable. It's almost like this is Ellen and Brian's calling to care for our furry friends! I highly recommend them!
Ellen & Brian are fantastic pet sitters! They went above and beyond to take care of our Lab while we we’re out of town. Very communicative and great with dogs. Will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
