Pet care experience

I have experience working at a veterinarian's office, plus 15 years of living with at least three gentle giants (Saint Bernard, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever). Most recently, I completed my certificate in Animal Assisted Social Work along with my masters degree. During grad school I worked at a shelter that helped train service and therapy dogs; my dog, Dak, is a certified therapy dog and the most laid back pooch you'll ever meet. Dak would come along with me while staying at your home, but is crate trained and gets along with every person and animal that he meets. Your dog will get lots of love, attention, and play time during your time away and I'll send photos and updates as frequently as you'd like.

Our dog Ralphie loved Ellen from the moment we did the meet and greet. She sent us daily updates with a photo which really eased my mind. Great sitter, highly recommend. Thank you, Ellen! :)

The absolute best! Cannot thank and praise Ellen enough for taking such wonderful care of both our home and our Rottweiler/Lab mix, Hector, who is a sweet handful to look after. Ellen is a mature, intelligent, dog lover and accomplished handler who kept in touch while we were gone and removed all anxiety from the moment we met her about leaving both Hector and our home in her care. Have already reserved her for trips in January and February.

Ellen P. is the BEST!!! I have two giant dogs - Saint Bernards that are rescues and very needy. From the first glance at Ellen's photo (she with a Saint Bernard), to our first conversation and the entire stay, she was remarkable! She is mature, calm, confident and very loving to our dogs. We were in Mexico for four days and during that time our fire alarm system malfunctioned and kept going off. Each time the firemen and police had to come out and make sure there were no issues. Ellen searched our home for the manual/code, worked with our tech service via telephone and cared for the dogs, esp. during the alarms going off, upsetting the dogs. She worked with our manager to disarm the main circuit. She even stayed extra time because she agreed we didn't want the alarm to go off while the dogs were by themselves in the home. On top of all that, she did light house work and cleaned the guest room she was staying in - all of which not necessary but so awesome nonetheless. Further proving what a professional she is and how blessed we felt having her watching our home and dogs. I highly recommend Ellen P., esp. if you are extra nervous about leaving your dogs and have trouble having fun away worrying the whole time about your dogs and home. Our dogs are rescue and were abused in a previous life and our Henry is extra shy. Ellen won him over and they became cuddle buddies. An amazing accomplishment. Ellen P. is a great person, a loving animal caretaker, and a calm, responsible young lady. We are looking forwarding to our next trip knowing Ellen is in charge.
