Information Ellen H. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love to go for walks with four legged friends, can take golf cart rides or play a game of fetch. I also love to just snuggle up and relax.

Experienced, dependable care

Pet care experience

I’m newly retired and find I have time to offer to take care of your dog with care and dependability. Plenty of time for loving your fur baby so you can leave them with ease of mind.

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!

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.
