Availability

Pet care is my life. The majority of my day is devoted to animal care. This is a farm, so a few hours a day devoted to farm chores, but the rest of the day is devoted to the pets in my care. There are trails and a creek, so we go for walks and the occasional swim. There are also wide open pastures that are great for a game of chase or fetch.

A FARM VACATION FOR YOUR PETS

Pet care experience

I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and at a young age was entrusted with the care of neighbors friends and families pets. I haven't met an animal yet that I couldn't win over and make them my friend! I adore animals, and they love me!

Ellen is amazing, always goes above and beyond to give the doggies the best possible experience. My dog loves her and so do I. Highly recommend her to everyone.

Brisket got to play with other dogs every day and he was so well socialized and so cared for. I would highly recommend Ellen to any others that need to board a dog for a week. I will definitely be using Ellen again.

Ellen was great with all three of our dogs. We felt they were in great hands for the weekend. They were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks Ellen! We will certainly book again!
