From Yorkies to Mastiffs, I’m here!

Pet care experience

I have cared for all types and sizes of dogs, especially bulldogs and larger breeds (Great Danes, German Shepards, and Mastiffs). In the past, I have been a dog walker, boarding house attendant, and I have worked on crate training along with behavioral corrections. I have also been so lucky to foster a large pit bull named Blue. He has now found his furever home! I have two rescue frenchies who are the light of my life; Jean-Pierre and Ralphie. My pups will stay at home with their dad if you do need someone for an overnight stay!

Ellen took very good care of our pit bull Jackson and our home & garden while we were out of town. It was such a load off our minds to have such a competent person watching over our fur baby!

This was our first time using Rover.com. We have had many nieces and nephews that have stayed at our house to take care of our sweet little babies. Ellen could be one of our nieces. CeCe and Angel picked her when she came to visit for us to find a good match for them. They were very comfortable and to us that was most important. Ellen was attentive to our very needy old girls. We will be asking for her services again going forward. I should not be giving this as I do not want her to get too busy but she is very good.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to keep the dog in their environment to keep them most at ease while their human is away. This is why I like to dog-sit at their home! It’ll give the pup more comfort being in their own space with a stranger, making them more confident and relaxed.

Information Ellen J. would like to know about your pet

I am knowledgeable mostly on bully breeds, though I do not have any breed preferences! I’ve worked with all types of dogs in the past.

A typical day

Walks are essential for your pup’s wellbeing! I love to take them to parks where there is plenty of space to walk and sniff everything.
