I love your pet already!!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover my whole life! After losing my first dog, I started dog sitting for some family friends. It really helped me fill the void after losing mine, and I love being able to help provide love and care for other animals! When I found Rover, I knew it was the perfect job for me! I do have my own pets, an orange cat and an Australian Shepherd dog, both who I love very much, but I always have more love to give! I know how important pets are to their owners and strive to provide the best care when their owners can’t be around. I have experience with providing oral medication to both cats and dogs, and I also have experience with senior pets. There’s nothing I love more than a good cuddle! As for your home, I will always respect your space and leave it looking the way you left it! I also have experience caring for many other types of small animals! So far through Rover, I have cared for hamsters, Guinea pigs, bunnies, hermit crabs, a bearded dragon and a macaw! Please feel free to reach out if you have other critters that require care and I would be happy to discuss with you! Please note there will be an additional charge for any extra care that is needed. If you are located out of the city, please note there will be an additional charge added on to compensate for the mileage and extra driving time. The amount of this fee will be determined based on where you are located and how many visits are required.

Ellen looked after my two cats while I was away for a night and everything went smoothly. She came over beforehand to meet the cats and pick up the house key which was very convenient. Ellen took lots of lovely photos, and even managed to get my shy cat out of hiding! The house looks spotless and the cats are happy. Would highly recommend Ellen's services!

First time leaving our puppy at home with a sitter and we were beyond impressed. Ellen came over prior to the visit to arrange coming into the home and meet our little pup. The moment our puppy met her a with her calming presence, we just knew she would be the perfect fit. We will be using her much more in the future.

I would love to work out a schedule with you!
