Experienced and energetic sitter

Pet care experience

Hello My name is Ellen I currently am a volunteer at a local shelter. This allows me to have the understanding of temperaments of dogs as well as cats. I own a small friendly one year old yorkie and a one year three month old overly friendly husky mix. Both go to the dog park In a regular basis- about 5 times a week-and taken on hikes frequently. I do own two cats as well which love dogs. Bathing is also in my know how, a squeaky clean dog is a happy one indeed. This means your pup will be well socialized, entertained, exercised, and clean all upon your arrival!

Ellen was AMAZING with my dog Pernicus. I would book her again in a heartbeat!

I got a good feeling about Ellen when I first met her. I was particularly pleased with her calm presence, as my dog Biscuit (a chihuahua) can be a bit anxious in new situations. Ellen briefly introduced me to her own dogs, and I was happy to see that they were balanced and very friendly to Biscuit. As the weekend progressed, she sent me a lot of pictures and even a video of Biscuit playing with the other dogs. Biscuit was in high spirits when I picked her up. Also, I managed to leave a dog toy behind, and Ellen dropped it off at my place the same day. Thanks Ellen! I definitely recommend this dog sitter and will probably use her services again soon.

I could not have asked for a better sitter than Ellen. She took great care of my little dog, kept in touch, sent great pictures. My dog is very skittish with strangers, but Ellen has created such a warm, loving environment that my dog opened right up and was so happy with her stay. Highly recommended.
