Great location for pickup and/or dropoff and happy to do that for your convenience if needed. Years of experience caring for other dogs in our home.
Reviews
This was the best dog sitting experience I can imagine! Ellen was quick and clear in communication prior to booking and made it very easy when we decided to do a Meet and Greet. She went above and beyond to make things as simple as possible to accommodate my travel and preferences. Ellen sent the cutest pictures and updates while I was away, and it was clear my dog could not have been in better hands!
Ellen is great! She goes out of her way to ensure my anxious pup is happy and comfortable. Great communication: She keeps me posted on how he is doing and doesn't hesitate to ask questions about his little quirks. After only one day with Ellen, he hops in the house with tail wagging! Thanks Ellen!

I have my own senior dog who is about 20 lbs who is going deaf and is just fine with other dogs staying in our home for about a week or so. (After that he needs his space back!)

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.
