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.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 28, 2026

Showed up 40 minutes late without letting me know and my puppy was only 11 weeks so we had this rover scheduled at a specific time to make sure our puppy could be let out (since they can’t hold their bladder that long) .

Dog Walking • Jul 15, 2026

seems like a nice girl and my dog got along with her great but not reliable at all. cancelled on me 20 minutes AFTER she was supposed to be at my house, even after already rearranging my schedule so she could switch days.

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!

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.
