Pet care experience

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. :)

Ellen was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make Willie forget we were even gone ?

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your pets routine to keep everything as normal as possible for them. If the animal is showing signs of distress I will adjust the situation accordingly to help put your pet at ease.

Information Ellen G. would like to know about your pet

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)

A typical day

I will take your pet wherever you are comfortable with him/her going. Be it around the block, at a local dog park, or simply in your backyard. I can also offer some basic training for mental stimulation. A tired dog is a good dog. :)

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. :)
