Safety, trust & environment

Due to having my own pets I’m not able to care for any other pets in my home but I am more than happy to stay with the pets in your home while you are away.

Information Ellen J. would like to know about your pet

Helpful information to let me know would be, how your pet gets along with other animals and people and anything that they may be reactive to, what furniture they are and are not allowed on, if they’re on any medications, any routines you would like me to follow including feeding and potty schedules.

A typical day

I’m up for whatever activities your pet likes to do based on their activity level. If your pet is high energy, we can go for a walk or play at the park. For the pets that are more low-key I’m just as happy to relax and spend time with them in your home.

Pet care experience

My name is Ellen and I have had a love of animals all of my life. I’ve been dog sitting since the age of 5 (with parental supervision of course) and have gone on to work at several animal shelters and veterinary practices in the area. I love all breeds of dogs and I will not discriminate! I have experience giving oral medication and also with blind and deaf dogs. I’m available for walks, check ins, and overnight care. I also have references available if they are needed. Thank you for taking a look at my profile! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Ellen has house sat for us a few times and does a fantastic job every time. My two elderly cats have several medical needs that keep changing and she is always able to adhere to them. They both usually miss me a lot when I get home, but not so much when Ellen is watching them. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy to house sit (which is very scary when dealing with someone you don’t know). Highly recommended!

Ellen was very easy to work with and gave us much needed peace of mind while we were away from our cats!

Ellen is fantastic with the pups and we were able to enjoy our family wedding weekend with peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands ❤️

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.
