Information Ellen D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special accommodations, routines, or needs. I want every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active with walks, fetch, tug-of-war, interactive toys, and plenty of playtime! 🐾 I also enjoy cuddling, giving treats, and spending quality time with dogs and cats based on their personality and energy level. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Ellen is absolutely wonderful! She has 2 fur babies of her own that are so lucky to have her as their mama! Ellen's detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and caring attitude shows through and through in her time spent caring for critters! She treats all pets she looks after just like her own. Your fur friends are guaranteed to be in amazing hands with Ellen! I highly recommend her!
