Caretaker and Lover of animals!!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Ellen. I am a very patient and caring person. I am a lover of animals, especially dogs and cats. My experience caring for pets began as a child who always grew up in a household full of them. I have raised a few dogs and cats over the years but currently I don't own any of my own. I began pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors and family/friends living close by when I was young. Taking care of animals is something I have always enjoyed. Most recently I have been walking and taking care of pets for a few years through word of mouth and Rover. It works out great because my schedule is very flexible and it makes me happy to help others. I am very reliable and excited to meet your furry friends! I am an active person who enjoys being outdoors. I can even go on walks in bad weather, no problem. I look forward to hearing from you!

Very sweet, and great with updates throughout the day. Takes super cute pictures too! Will certainly book with her again.
Ellen was fantastic with our pup. He loved his stay and we had peace of mind while she watched him. Thank you so much!
Ellen was fantastic! She was very pleasant and friendly. Great communication before and during the stay. Our pup enjoyed his time with her! We look forward to booking again for next time Thank you, Ellen!
Ellen is great! She has watched my Great Dane multiple times now. Even with all his anxiety, I know he is comfortable with her and is always happy at the end of his stay. She's very caring and it shows.

Information Ellen D. would like to know about your pet
I love all different dogs. Getting to know their personalities and spending time with them is fun for me. I do not have any breed preference. However, I must say I did grow up with mainly Shepherd breed mixes and one Great Dane. So there is always something nostalgic there for me. Before meeting a dog to spend time with I would just like to know about them... What their triggers are, what they like to do. What makes them happy, what makes them mad. Any health or dietary issues, any history about their life that would help me insure their well being and happiness. I want to know all of the important thoughts the owner has for me. Anything that is important is worth being told. I do enjoy meeting the owners before meeting a dog too.
A typical day
I know many dog friendly places! As I mentioned I also enjoy being outdoors and being active. So if your pup is active we can go running on the Schuylkill trail, walk around the city, or venture around Penn's Landing. I am very familiar with Philadelphia. There is so much to see and do! There are also wonderful areas very close to were I live such as a dog park, south street, Passyunk, the Italian Market... etc. I also am quite good at relaxing if your dog is low energy. We can lounge around, maybe sit outside while at a close by coffee or food place or my back patio. There are so many things to do. Just as long as your dog is happy :)
