Fun Adventures and Quality Care

Pet care experience

Each pup is unique. I make sure to learn the personalities of each one I work with. I make sure the dogs I take care of feel comfortable and safe at all times. Also, as an owner myself, I know it can be tough to be away from your dog, so I love sending photos and updates if helpful.

Ellen took the most incredible care of our senior, blind, special needs poodle! Midge is 17 and has no eyes and a very specific diet. He has a lot of medications to take each day, and can be very stubborn when he doesn't want to take them. Ellen was so kind, patient, and loving with Midge, and we returned home to a happy boy! Ellen sent as photos and updates every day, and was very understanding of all of his special needs. She did not seem overwhelmed by the (long) notes we left, and asked very thoughtful questions to make sure he was getting exactly what he needed. Her dog Elton was so kind and gentle with Midge, and they are now best buds. We are always so nervous leaving our special old guy, and we were so calm and comfortable knowing he was with Ellen. Our house was clean and everything had been taken great care of. Ellen stayed during the crazy snow storms this past few weeks and was really helpful in keeping the house warm and safe. We are SO grateful, and cannot recommend Ellen and Elton enough!

Ellen and her dog Elton are the best dog sitters/house sitters you could ask for! Our mutt Gilly warms to people slowly, so it takes a steady hand to gain his trust. E&E generously met with us before we left on vacation so Gilly could get comfortable on his own terms. Once we were gone, the pair were so patient and kind that by the end of their stay, Gilly was sharing the couch with Elton and snoozing with his head on Ellen’s lap- things he only does with his family. They left our home tidier than they found it, and left Gilly in absolutely great shape- particularly since they went hiking a couple of times! Ellen is very communicative, sending lots of cute pictures and updates as well as checking in when Gilly’s tummy got squirrelly. This is the longest we’ve been away from our dog, but we couldn’t have been more at ease with E&E watching over him. Definitely recommend this pair for your dog care needs, unless we need them too! :)

Can I leave 10 stars? Ellen was an absolute gem! She was prompt to arrive and her communication was impeccable. Best of all, she took care of my pup, Barney like he was her own. He is a very needy Bichon and Ellen made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. My home was left better than when I left and I hope Ellen comes back soon!

Ellen is an amazing caregiver for pups- she has a big heart and treates all Dog’s like her own. When watching my dog MJ, he had an accident. Instead of being upset she laughed and this issue with humor! She is active and happily walks/ exercise dogs for as long as needed! No board pup here! Ellen is my favorite!

Information Ellen F. would like to know about your pet

I am experience with caring for all types of dogs, whether that is puppies, senior dogs, special needs dogs, or anything in between. I rely first on what the owner has established for the best course of care for their dog and then make sure to update them accordingly. If your dog needs any medication or extra care, I am happy to provide that.

A typical day

This depends on the owner's and dogs' needs. If you as the owner permits me to take them in the car to bring them to a dog park or another fun activity, I would love to get them out to explore! If your dog would prefer to stay at home and romp around the backyard or take a short walk, that is fine too.
