Patient, caring, & ready for play!
Pet care experience
I’m very at ease with pets of all shapes & sizes. Growing up, I looked after my family’s sweet golden retriever/yellow lab mix (Trigger) and then our energetic, big German Shepherd (Ferro). I also loved our two cats, one indoor (Othello), one outdoor (Charcoal) & our two rabbits (Siren and Sniffs). When I go home for holidays I help my mom with her young English Springer Spaniel, Sienna. Currently I work a 9-5 weekday office job, but I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the week and walks and morning/noon/night drop-ins on weekends. Having lived with and loved larger, working breeds of dogs, I know the importance of playtime and exercise. I don’t take a dog on a walk just so they can do their duty, but so they can workout, stretch their legs, and expend all their energy. This way they come home ready to chill and cuddle. I also adore cats, and would love to provide drop-in visits for your felines as needed. While cats are typically thought of as more independent, I know they still need play, love, and care. I’ve been dubbed “cat whisperer” and “cat guru” by friends for being able to get even shy cats to come up and give me a head butt.
Reviews
Ellen was fantastic! Excellent communication and lots of updates about my pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be hiring her again soon.
Hello! Ellen and I have been best friends for over 20 years and she has always been an animal lover. She grew up taking care of her black cat and her German Shepherd and always made guests feel comfortable with them! Ellen is an incredibly kind, respectful and responsible person and would make an excellent caregiver for anybody’s pet :)

Information Ellen H. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting your pet, I’d like to know what kind of training you’ve done with them, how socialized they are, if they have separation anxiety, and if there are any behavioral challenges I should know about. I’d also love to know their favorite treats, toys, and goodies! :)
