Lifelong Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Lover of all dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs in all stages of life. After initially signing up to be a Rover in 2020, I️ took a break to care for a sweet 4-year-old rescue, Enzo. I understand how hard it can be to find someone you trust to watch your dog while you're away, and I'm excited to be that person. I‘m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and will treat your dog like family. I will be sure to follow your instructions - what treats are allowed or rules you expect your pup respect (even when you're not around). I'm very active and love looking for new parks to explore. I take special consideration for needs requested to ensure the best possible experience for everyone involved. I️’m experienced in caring for dogs with general and separation anxiety disorders, so just let me know in advance if any special accommodations are necessary.

Ellen was fantastic with Molly! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Molly looked happy and well cared for in every picture, and she was just as happy when I picked her up. I really appreciate the attention and love Ellen gave her—would definitely book again!
