I Work from Home & Love Dogs!

Hi, I'm Ellen. I have more than 30 years of volunteering with dog rescues in Arizona and Idaho that has left me with a wealth of knowledge (and love) of dogs of all breeds and ages. I am patient and gentle and give lots of love and positive reinforcement. I am able to administer medications if needed. I am comfortable with all temperaments and dogs of all ages. My schedule is completely flexible to fit your fur kids' wants and needs. Walks, playtime, slumber parties and more. I just love dogs and they love me! I am lucky enough to be able to play with dogs for a living and am happy to help with whatever you need! I look forward to meeting you and your 'kids'! Daily pictures of your dogs happily sent! For doggie overnights, pricing is based on a 24 hour stay. There may be an additional charge for 1 night stays that total more than 27 hours (i.e. 8am drop off + 5pm pick up the following day). I have 2 dogs: The 1st is Olive, a very playful rescue from Mexico. I call her the "Julie MacCoy" of the house as she is always making sure everyone is having a good time <3. Cheddar (#2) is a super silly Terrier mix and is also a Mexico street dog rescue. He's quirky and playful. He & Olive are the best of friends and always willing to let visiting dogs join in on the fun or do their own thing. I love my dogs dearly, and love clients' dogs equally as much!

Doggy Day Care • 26 Jul 2026

It was so nice having her stay with Ellen and the pack. Looks like they all got along great and Nala was relaxed and enjoyed the lovely yard. She sent lots of pics and updates. If we are back in the area we would choose her again. 😁

Ellen treated Noodle like one of her own! Welcomed her into the pack and sent plenty of updates with pictures and videos. Would recommend her to take care of your pup!

This was our puppy's first stay with Rover. Ellen was great! She reassured me Rosie would have a good time. She sent several pictures and communicated with me throughout Rosie's stay. It was a wonderful first experience with Rover. I would definitely book with Ellen again.
