Information Ellen R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog play well w/others? Does he/she get separation anxiety when left for a few minutes? Is your dog kennel trained? Any other particular details that I should know?

A typical day

I’m always home b/c I work form home - no boarding pet will be left alone for more that maybe a quick trip to the store. We can play indoor & out door fetch & we can play chase outside.

Pet care experience

I'm excited to care for your dog or other pets - I volunteer weekly at HOPE Equine Rescue - I have experience ranging from traditional pet sitting to farm animal care. I've had dogs my entire life. I’ve care for dogs, horseradish, goats, birds & fish - I can also water your plant friends while you are away. 😎 I have experience doing everything from drop in visits and dog walking to house sitting in California & I’ve worked in a kennel in the past. have experience with a variety of breeds from small dogs to big high energy dogs. We have a spacious fenced in area for dogs to play off leash at my condo complex. We can play fetch and my husky likes to play chase too. I'm a journalist and work from home so I’m available & highly flexible - this that makes pet sitting a very great fit for me! The bonus for me I love meeting pets & my dog is very friendly & loves new friends! Hope to see your fur-baby soon! 🐕🐶🐎🐃🌸

Ellen was absolutely great with our pups. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of check in photos! We would love to have her watch our pups overnight again! Highly recommend her!

Ellen is a great pet sitter! Fur babies were well taken care of and enjoyed her company while we were away. She is very responsive and provided updates and pictures everyday. Highly recommended!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
