Cesar Millan has nothing on me!
Pet care experience
I've never met a dog I didn't love, and I've never met a dog that didn't love me. I'll take my cues from your pup - if they like long, brisk walks or jogs, that's great! If they'd rather cuddle or play fetch in the yard, that works too! No request is too specific; you know what's best for your dog, and I will make sure that your instructions are carried out to the letter. I have years of experience caring for both my own and other's animals and would be happy to provide additional references. I send photos, water plants, check the mail, leave the house cleaner than I found it, and maintain regular text or phone communication with all my clients as desired. Please feel free to ask any questions!
Reviews
Ellen is fantastic. She stayed in our Oakland apartment with our two standard poodles for a week and did a great job. She's responsible and dependable, kept us informed, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. Everything was perfect. Will definitely use her again.
Ellen clearly loves the pups and they clearly love her. She was super responsive and went out of her way to flex when things changed on our end. We’ll be calling on Ellen again whenever Bella needs a pal for a sleepover at our house.
Ellen helped us out when we needed some very last minute dog-sitting help. Really appreciate her flexibility and that she took such good care of our Oreo, who was very excited to see her again.
Ellen was punctual, communicative, and caring when looking after our newly adopted dog for a few hours. All you could ask for in a house sitter!

I’m happy to keep your dog at home, or take them with me on adventures! I love going to the dog park, and one of my recent canine clients even came with me to the world championships of dog surfing to watch and enjoy the pet-friendly vendors.
