I met Ellen here and inquired with her about watching my sweet girl, Maizy, in her home while we traveled. She responded immediately and we set up a time to meet. She was very easy for both Maizy and I to get along with and her home was clean and practical for her to be pet sitting. We officially booked, and upon dropping Maizy off, we met her husband and their pup, Salty. It was a very pleasant encounter. While away, Ellen kept in touch with updates and photos. After traveling, she and her husband confirmed that Maizy is sweet, well behaved, and was a joy to have around. I will be booking with Ellen again, and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for your pup too. Thank you, Ellen!

Max and Ruby, our two golden retrievers, loved 💕Ellen! She has such a calming way with animals and they warmed right up to her. We had a quick trip and thought it would be best to keep with the dogs in our home and in their routine. Ellen came over several times to feed, let them out and even played catch! She was very reliable and always on time. Max and Ruby were relaxed and happy when we returned home!

Thanks Ellen for taking such great care of Olaf. He really enjoyed himself with Salty. I appreciate your dropping him off at our house when we couldn't get him picked up. It was a great help. Looking forward to using your services again.

Schedule

Newly retired with lots of time available including most holidays. I am home all day so potty breaks are not an issue or unusual feeding schedules.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Ellen can host up to 4 walks per day
It’s important for me to know your pets needs and preferences. I want to make he/she feel as comfortable as possible. Also,I like to have veterinarian information for any unforeseen emergencies.
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.
