Experienced Foster Parents

Pet care experience

We have been married for three years now and had our own pups, Penny and Buddy, for the past four and a half years. They are both rescue dogs with quirks and big personalities, as well as energetic and fun. We have LOVED fostering dogs for several different rescue organizations and have seen all kinds of personalities! We spend a lot of time outside with our pups playing in the backyard, sunning on the patio, and love to go on walks through the neighborhood and on the Wissahickon trail when the weather permits. We have experience with dogs of all ages and tons of love to give :) We hope you'll give us a chance to spend some time getting to know your furbabies. Looking forward to meeting you!

Ellen was absolutely terrific with our two dogs while we were away...very patient, loving and playful! She sent us updates daily and photos! In fact, I think the pups are missing her now that we are back...haha

Elle was a life saver for my dog, Lucy, and me. I had health issues that made me unable to walk Lucy for about a week, so arranged for Elle to take her on 1/2 hour walks. Elle was always on time, and took Lucy on some great walks. She posted maps of where they went, pictures of Lucy, and whether she peed and/or pooed. Elle is very friendly and upbeat, and a pleasure to deal with. I could tell that Lucy thought so, too. :)

We are so happy to have found Ellen! She is very flexible as we sometimes need to ask for a walk without much notice, and Mav and Kota love their time with her. She takes great care of our pups and our home.

Wonderful pet sitter. Consistently goes above and very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable having her watch my pet while I was out of town for an extended trip. Not only did she do the basics - feeding, etc. - but she also incorporated a considerable amount of playtime. She was also very communicative and reliable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.
