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.

Information Ellen R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love hanging out with dogs, no matter their energy level! Based on the needs of the dog, I am happy to play fetch, work on learning new tricks, cuddle, or go on walks.

Dog lover + responsible sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I am new to Knoxville and looking for new clients! I love hanging out with dogs and would be happy to give them love while you are away. I am detail-oriented and will follow your directions to a tee. I also love snapping cute pics of your pet to keep you updated! 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 undergrad, 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!

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%!
