Gotta love em all! Puppies!

Hi, I’m Ellen! 🐾 If your dog is family, we’re already on the same page. ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pup. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a proud dog mom to King, a big goofy pit bull mix who keeps me laughing and on my toes. I also had the privilege of caring for my beloved Yoda, who will always be a very special part of my heart. My experience with both of them has taught me just how different every dog can be—and how important patience, consistency, love, and lots of belly rubs are. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, medication reminders, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a big priority for me. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved. Your dog’s routine stays their routine. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their personality and boundaries, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I can’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog… but I can promise I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d want for King. 🐶❤️ I’d love to meet you and your pup!

Ellen-Mary is absolutely great with our dogs! They get so excited when she comes over. She is very caring and attentive with them and showers them with love. I would definitely recommend Ellen-Mary as a dog walker/care-giver.

Ellen is phenomenal! Very flexible with my schedule and just has the best personality. She is accommodating to my dog's needs (one is highly skittish around other dogs) while the other could play for hours on end. I never have to worry about them being in good hands when they are with her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Ellen-Mary is very caring and responsible to all kinds of pets. She is a dog owner herself, and I have never seen anyone be so great with a rescue dog. She loves taking him for walks and loves dog cuddles. She is very responsible with him, and I would totally trust her to even watch my dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, King, who loves having a buddy around. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pups in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your dog’s boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

Pets

A typical day

Since I work from home full-time, your pup gets plenty of company throughout the day! We’ll start with a morning potty break and walk, followed by breakfast and some relaxing time while I work. Throughout the day, we’ll take potty breaks, play in the fenced yard, go for walks, and enjoy plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll keep their routine as close to home as possible while making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and love.
