Pet care experience

Reliable, Experienced, Trusted

I was raised on a farm around all kinds of animals. I currently live with my crew of rescued pets from dogs and cats to chickens, turkeys, ducks, a bunny and a snake! I have experience giving medications, training basic commands, and experience in handling animals with behavioral issues. I’ve gained trust with apprehensive dogs and have successfully watched a pack of 8 with no issues during my visits. I like to stick to your schedule and routine when it comes to the safety of your pet(s) and everyone involved! That being said, I do have a family and family comes first. I am homeschooling my 6 year old daughter and she will be with me on most days. At this time, I would prefer if the pets are good with kids. My schedule is open and I love spending time with animals! I am even here if your pet needs to visit the vet while you’re away. I would prefer to watch pets in their own homes, simply due to the amount of rescue animals I have in my care and their temperaments. :)

Schedule

I am a full time pet sitter so there’s very little issues when scheduling but I won't be taking too many clients over Spring Break and Christmas. I only say that because I got very busy on those holidays last year and it kept me away from my family so I won't be taking on as many clients during those times. I will also need most summers off as I watch an additional 2 kids over the summer. :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Ellen can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I love all breeds, especially "bully" breeds. I would like to know everything you find important about your pet. Are they on any medications? Can they have treats? Would you mind if I trained the pet while I watched them? I like to do positive reinforcement training. Are there any places where the pet might not like to be touched? (My cat doesn't like her back touched and will bite, so we know to avoid that)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
