Tail-waggin’ time with Ellen

I am an absolute animal lover and always have been! Rover has given me the chance to meet all kinds of amazing pets and do what I love the most. Providing a safe and loving atmosphere for your pet is my number one priority. No matter what they may need! With me, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your fur baby is in loving and caring hands. I will treat them as my own and spoil them silly! I have fostered and volunteered many times before and learnt valuable lessons and tips through this. I cannot wait to meet your lovely pet(s) ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet suburb in Mandeville near Whole Foods with a gated backyard and spacious indoor area. There is lots of space for dogs to play in the backyard and I also have a fenced in sunroom for cats to play. I can bathe them as well if needed. I love to hang out with them, snuggle and watch tv, go on long walk to get our steps in and teaching them tricks or playing fetch. I am very conscious of my surroundings and always keep a close eye on pets.

Pets

A typical day

I love making d.i.y enrichment toys such as a egg carton with treats inside to see if the dog can get the treats out. I love playing fetch and rough housing with dogs. My pet loves to be chased around the house and we do this daily when I come home. I love walking dogs at the Mandeville Lakefront or any of the shady neighborhoods with sidewalks.

I am a true animal lover with no preferences. I am a lover of all kinds. I have dealt with all kinds of temperaments and I am always open to learning and giving the pet what the owner wants. My background allows me to provide a structured and stimulating environment for your pets, ensuring they stay both mentally and physically active.
