I recently stopped working full-time so I am able to focus on animals more and work remotely part time. My husband has a business which is not time consuming and remote so if pet sitting is required over the week we are happy to do this together to make sure your to minimize time we are away from your animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to care for a pet in my home but will care for your pet in your home as you instruct. I believe having a meet and greet in your home will help us both make sure that we are a good match for your family prior to agreeing to a pet sit.

Information Ellen R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any behavior issues or requires a special diet/medication. It is helpful to understand dietary requirements, normal routine for your animal, and any behavior issues they have ahead of time so I am able to do my best while pet sitting for you.

A typical day

I love long walks especially on a trail or at the a park or along the coast so I would love to take your dog out 2-3 times per day to enjoy the fresh air. I also love playing with animals if they have a favorite toy or love to play catch. The best part of Rover for me is being able to cuddle with the animals and show them love since I am unable to have my own pets currently.

Hiker that loves dogs & cats

Pet care experience

I recently moved back to the States after living in Japan so jumping back on to Rover. I have owned and cared for two cats and two dogs over the past 20 years and have experience with dogs from 6 weeks to geriatric to include dogs that may have mobility issues. I enjoy going on long walks and am open to walking any time of day. I am experienced with indoor cats and have cared for cats from birth through geriatric. I am comfortable with giving oral medication to cats and dogs and have also experience with food preparation for animals with specific diets. I am happy to stay in your home with your animals and am also available to water plants and tend to freshwater aquarium fish if desired. I was on rover while living in England but then moved to Japan and was unable to use Rover to watch adorable animals since Japan does not have this service yet. I recently moved back to Florida as I stop working full time and I am looking to spend more time focused on animals and the outdoors. My husband, Chris, is happy to join me on longer house sits and help watch animals too which is great since he works remotely. Chris is wonderful with all animal and loves to garden

Excellent. Ellen is a lovely very interesting lady. Gabriel had a lovely night and Archie the cat muscled in as well for some cuddles. We would be delighted to use Ellen again and would happily recommend her to anyone. Gabriel cried after she left, so I think that says it all!
