Safety, trust & environment

Before beginning our walk, I will make sure any harnesses and/or leashes are secure. I will also ask dog parents if there is anything special I should know about their dog before I take them on walks (ex: doesn’t like a certain part of the neighborhood, likes to lunge at squirrels, etc.).

Information Ellen C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything special I should know about your dog before taking them on a walk. Looking forward to getting to know your dog!

A typical day

We can take a walk wherever the dog parents prefers! Some dogs like the same walk/routine, while others like to be stimulated by different paths each time.

Pets

Devoted dog mom

Pet care experience

I am a mom to a mini aussie/border collie mix who is FULL of energy and a rescue terrier mix who is a big cuddle bug. I think walks serve as a great way to exercise and bond with your dog, while also providing her/him with a sensory-filled experience.

Ellen is amazing with Oakley! He is always tired after their walks & a happy boy after visits. We will use Ellen again & again!
