Pet care experience

Dog lover + responsible sitter

I am a big animal lover! I have helped care for family members pets my whole life. I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. During college, I fostered dogs and volunteered through the Lexington Humane Society. This work was so fulfilling and allowed me to provide shelter dogs with socialization and get them adopted! I would love to hang out with your furry friend(s) while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment

Through my time with the Lexington Humane Society, I completed trainings that covered dog behavior, body language, socialization, basic training, and basic health info. This knowledge helps me provide the best support while I am working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and behaviors.

Ellen is responsible all the way around! She cared for our Izzy like she was her own. I could tell that Izzy loves her from their first meeting. I recommend Ellen 100%!

Please let me know if there are any quirks or specific personality traits I need to know about your four-legged friend! I want to know all about your pet so I can provide the best care possible.
