Comfortable with all pets
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Ellen and I have been a life long dog lover. I had two large dogs growing up (an Australian shepherd and pit bull mix), babysat and walked others frequently, and worked in animal shelters for 6 years. Basically I have been around dogs my whole life! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments- shy dogs, anxious dogs, and temperamental dogs included! I only work three days a week as a nurse so my schedule is very flexible and I am glad to be able to fill that time with dogs! I love going for walks, playing fetch, and giving belly rubs. I will make sure you and your pooch are fully satisfied and well taken care of. In my home I have 2 adult male cats and a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I am home a lot with my "zoo" so adding another dog into the mix would be very natural.
Reviews
My pup Rocky had the best time with Ellen for his first stay! I was a little anxious for his first overnight visit, but Ellen instantly made me feel at ease. She's super patient and kind and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day which I appreciated. I would definitely book with Ellen again!
She was awesome! Remus enjoyed his time. She kept me updated and sent me pictures! I’d definitely use her again
Ellen is amazing! She’s taken great care of my kitties twice - very reliable and communicative and asks great questions when necessary. Ellen provides pictures and status updates and leaves me confident the babies are well taken care of. Thank you!!
Ellen communicated well and did a great job with the cats, would absolutely book again!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have an unfenced yard and all my pets are good with other animals. I always read the dog's behavior to make sure any situation they're in is comfortable and safe.
Home
Information Ellen H. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what your pet's likes and dislikes are. Is there anything specific I should watch out for? Is there any aspect of training that needs to be reinforced? I am always happy to do a meet and greet as well.
A typical day
Our house is a perfect blend of fun and relaxation. I like to take Marli on at least one long walk a day and play fetch or tug. Sometimes we go to the trail nearby and sometimes we just walk and explore the neighborhood. Pets are allowed on the furniture so we can relax after they are all worn out.
