trustworthy and a huge animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello!! My name is Ellen and I have many years of experience! I started dog and house sitting since I was in junior high. From puppies to senior dogs I have experience with a wide range. I would love to give you a piece of mind while you are gone knowing your animal(s) are well taken care of! Neighbors, friends and family have been able to rely on me to take of their fur babies! I can give references if wanted! I am a single mom to a three year old, because of that I will only be accepting homes that allow it! I understand it’s not for everyone, so no offense will be taken! She is huge animal lover and very respectful of animals and their space!Don’t hesitate to reach out!

We booked Ellen for 10 days and we couldn’t be happier. She and her daughter took care of our dogs in our home while we were away on vacation. Ellen sent daily pictures of our fur kids, and communicated with us all the time. We have 3 dogs which can be a handful ( bullmastiff, poodle and yorkie) but her and her daughter handled them like a pro:)! I would not hesitate to book Ellen again. My home is just as clean as I left it, and my dogs are happy:)! What more can you ask for?! I have used multiple pet sitters in the past, but Ellen and her daughter will be our first choice when we need one again.

Repeat customers here— Ellen is the best! This time she cared for all three of our dogs: two German shepherds and a Belgian Malinois. Not everyone can handle that energy level, but Ellen did! She took them on outdoor adventures and somehow managed to maintain control of our wolfpack on walks. Dogs don’t lie, and we can see from the pictures that our girls LOVE Ellen and have so much fun with her! Thank you for caring for them like family, it shows!! 💕

Ellen is a great sitter. She took excellent care of our dog and 20 yr old cat. So helpful to know our animals and house were being so well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her again on our next trip. Highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently I am only offering care in a clients home! I make sure the pet(s) are taken outside to play and go to the bathroom daily and regularly. I love going on walks and know your babies do too so I love to go on many walks with them! Making sure the home is safe as in making sure there is nothing they can get into while I am gone! Most importantly making sure they feel safe and loved!

Information Ellen P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I know all dogs are different, some dogs love other dogs but some don’t! I would appreciate knowing their personalities and their dislikes and likes! It is important for me to know if they are ok with kids or other animals so I can just prepare and make sure everyone is safe and happy!

A typical day

I really love taking the dog(s) on walks, taking them to parks, or even the beach( if your dog loves water!) I really enjoy keeping the dogs active and happy, especially because I know they will miss their parents! So I love to spend a ton of time with them:)
