Pet care experience

Teacher. Walker. Petlover.

I currently have a cat and grew up with a small dog, but I’ve always had a soft spot for big dogs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and Rover is a perfect way for me to spend time with animals I love. Whether it’s a walk, some company, or just making sure your pet feels at home, I’m all in!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

I have had Ellen watch my 1.5 year old golden retriever who is VERY high energy. She did an amazing job caring and loving on Blue. I never had a worry about if Blue was safe and well cared for. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day so I wasn't missing him too much. I left very detailed instructions and helpful hints on all of Blue's quirks and she was able to care for him just as we would if we were home. We would 100% recommend Ellen to watch your fur babies.

Ellen has been a pet owner since early childhood, and most recently has been a cat mom! She really wants a dog of her own, so having the opportunity to take care of someone else’s dog(s) would be a welcome opportunity. You would be hard pressed to find someone more organized and responsible.
