Pet care experience

Doggie summer camp

I’ve loved taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have had many pets over the years from mice, cats, dogs and even a llama and a sheep! I believe that effective training includes lots positive reinforcement and love and I don’t use negative reinforcement or punishment with my pets.

Ellen was an amazing pet sitter for our Waffles! She sent us regular updates and pictures which I absolutely loved as this was our first time leaving her with a sitter. Ellen took all our fears away and Rory was such a sweet friend to our little girl! Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful experience for waffles!

Schedule

I’m lucky enough to work from home, which allows me the time to spend with my own animals and provide walks and play sessions during the day. Given that my work schedule is flexible, I can usually accommodate any specific meal times, medication and walk schedules. My partner Jeren also helps with caring for our pets and guest pets when he is at home.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog name Rory to play with your furry friend. I usually have 1 - 3 dogs staying with me at any time. Our place would be good for your dog if they are social and like other dogs and plenty of love from the two humans who live here. It’s an opportunity to become part of a little pack, which most dogs usually love!
