Pet care experience

Experienced pet sitter

Hi, I’m in love with all types of dogs and cats. I have raised my dog for 7 years who currently lives with my parents abroad. I started thinking about rover because I miss my dog dearly. I work from home as a pharmacist so I can take care of your pet all day, all night with love and attention. I have an unfenced yard in front of my apartment which I will walk your dog very frequently with care. I’m very vigilant and will make sure your pet is safe with me and do my best so that your pet enjoys staying.

Ellen was terrific taking care of Clare overnight! She gave her more walks than we ever expected and was very conscientious as to Clare’s morning and evening routines.

Our dog Bosco had an amazing stay with Ellen! He looked so happy in all of the photos and videos and Ellen kept us updated on his activity throughout the day. This was Bosco’s first stay with Ellen and he was so happy to go with her and looked like he wasn’t ready to leave when we picked him up. If you’re looking for great 1:1 care for your dog, I would highly recommend you give Ellen a try!
