Pet care experience

I love and care for all dogs!

I currently work as a kennel technician at an animal shelter. I am experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments, prioritizing the dog’s safety and my own safety. I’ve pet sat for many clients. I have taken care of older dogs and young dogs. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all temperaments. My services include dog walking, playing fetch, and feeding and watering.

Ellen quickly became a favorite of Callie and would often look for her. We sadly lost Callie at the age of 13. When we added Kylee to the family, she quickly became a favorite of Kylee too. She dotes attention on Kylee and plays ball with her and takes her for walks. She’s taught her some basic commands too. Callie and Kylee were/are both German Shepherds and Ellen has done great with both!

Safety, trust & environment

When I do drop in visits, I ensure that all of your pets needs are met, which includes playing fetch or going for a walk, so that they are able to get energy out before their owner gets home.

Pets

A typical day

I will take your dogs for walks and play fetch with them if those are things they enjoy. I have enrichment dog toys (frozen treats, kong wobblers, and lick mats) that can be sanitized between uses, that I will bring to entertain your pups if you believe that would be beneficial to them.
