Caring daughter of a vet assistant

Pet care experience

As a teen, I took less to babysitting and more to pet-sitting. I'm a firm believer that life is improved with dogs or cats as additions to a loving household and am happy to do whatever I can to make a pet comfortable when they have to be away from their owner. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of my current apartment, I'm unable to adopt a dog during this time. I would, however, love to meet and build friendships with dogs in need of walks or care. I've been living in Syracuse since 2012 and know the area fairly well. Generally, I know which paths to avoid and which to seek out. I openly encourage suggestions if you have specific location or activity requests for your dog.

Ellen has been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. She is very in tune with each pet's personallity and individual needs. She enjoys spending time with animals, and they enjoy their time with her. Ellen has cared for my dog on many occasions, even after major surgery. She adheres to veterinarian's instructions for post operative care, as well as accurately gives medications prescribed. Ellen is extremely responsible and trustworthy. Any dog that is lucky enough to have Ellen as a dog sitter will have a friend for life. I highly recommend her for your service.

Information Ellen L. would like to know about your pet

It would be nice to know what bad behavioral habits, if any, to watch out for and discourage. Most experienced with Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, mutts, German Shorthaired Pointers, Newfoundlands, Wheaten Terriers, but open to all breeds

A typical day

My preferred walking paths for non-aggressive dogs are to and around public parks. I prefer suburban areas over urban areas for walking dogs. Upon request, I'd be more than happy to take dogs on short hikes (Green Lakes). Upon request, I'm open to taking high energy dogs on runs.
