Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ellen is great with our dog, who loves to visit Ellen's place. Ellen has always been responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We check Ellen's calendar before we schedule trips!
Ellen took great care of my pup while I was gone. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to understand my dog's needs and preferences. She was also very kind and flexible when my return was delayed, which I really appreciated. Great sit!
Ellen is great with our dog and has been flexible in the event travel plans require slight modifications. Our dog loves going over to Ellen's!
Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!
From the moment Ellen met my dog Sadie…I knew she would be in a loving home.
Ellen was very understanding about my dog’s anxiety and I was confident my pup was in good hands.

Schedule
I work full time from my home and have a daughter who is middle school aged who loves that we get to care for different dogs since our old man dog passed away right before Memorial Day 2024. Some days I have meetings nonstop and can barely fit a walk in, other days I have time for nice long walks. (Especially beautiful weekend mornings when some dogs like to clock miles with me!)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is small but pet friendly - dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep with me if that's what they prefer. I have a 6 foot privacy fence for most of the yard, but the back of the yard has two stone walls (the old St. Paul stone walls that were built between the homes when the homes were built in the 1940s!) so a meet and greet in my backyard has to happen before I provide care so that you can see the backyard and we can discuss if your dog needs to be taken out on a leash even in the backyard or if I can let them out. (I usually go out with them or at least stand at the door but some dogs don't like being on a leash in a backyard!)
A typical day
We have a great neighborhood to walk in with lots of other dogs who walk regularly, so there's lots to sniff and learn about! The backyard is small but just the right size to run a little and relax. I have lots of toys as well for dogs who like to play with new toys.
