Pet care experience
I currently have two English bulldogs with my husband, and our former dog was a rescue pit mix. I grew up with a mini poodle and spent many years living with a mastiff/lab mix (10 years) and a bull terrier (5 years). I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs as well as non-social dogs who prefer a set environment. I understand each pet has unique needs and preferences and am ready to provide that for your pet! Along with dogs and cats I’m also comfortable pet sitting turtles & tortoises, fresh water fish tanks, birds… just ask! I am a green thumb and am also open to plant watering and basic care… just ask!
Reviews
Ellen did such a fantastic job. All the little things were taken care of. Even carried out packages in for us! She is wonderful at communication. The best we have had through rover!
Ellen was very good with my dog! Stopped in to feed him and administer his ear drops while I was out of town. He enjoyed the play time and pets :)
Ellen was AMAZING! I received multiple photos everyday, and I always knew the pups were being cared for with her open communication.
Ellen is amazing with my dog! She genuinely seems to care about Maisie as much as I do! She sends great pics and videos of Maisie, and she is very attentive to her needs. Ellen has been incredibly flexible and reliable. Any time that I can’t be there to care for my dog, I’m at ease knowing that Ellen will be looking after her! Highly recommend!!!!!!!

When pet sitting at your house I can fully customize to you and your pets needs. Taking pets out in apartment/townhouse green space or dog parks, fenced and non fenced in yards, etc. all OK.
Information Ellen K. would like to know about your pet
Bathroom routine Eating schedule and treats, dietary restrictions If they are runners, jumpers, leash pullers, or any other type of behavior to be mindful of when with them - I am comfortable reinforcing your training tactics once shown them, or can use my own. When multiple pets in a home - if and when they tend to exhibit aggressive behavior toward each other, if they can go out and/or eat at the same time, etc. If they have any special care instructions like needing to clean face wrinkles, wipe butts, etc.
A typical day
Doggo hugs and kisses, exploring the yard, get a little movement and exercise before they head back inside, if they have any toys I’d love to play fetch or tug of war with them.
