Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional full-time sitter
I’m a professional full-time sitter. I grew up surrounded by multiple dogs and I have 20+ years of experience in taking care of dogs of all different types, sizes and behaviors. I’m tall and athletic and can easily handle any type of dog. I am caring, reliable and communicative. I live in a house and I have a big, nice & sunny fenced backyard (please refer to backyard/home photos on my profile). For clarification, pups on my bed on the photo on my profile are not here full time, just previous client’s pups. All other photos of pups on my profile were also taken at my place :) I have experience with dogs that have separation anxiety, reactive dogs, shy/skittish/rescued dogs, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, high energy dogs, puppies, big or small dogs. **For clients looking for house sitting** - if you’re looking for house sitting strictly, unfortunately this is not a good fit as I only do boarding. A lot of clients first search for house sitting but are also open to boarding which is why I have house sitting showing as available on my profile.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Before our trip, we were nervous to leave our anxious dog with a boarder (we had only done house sitting before), but Ellen was so confident, easy to work with, communicative, and reliable, that we had the most stress-free experience and were fully able to enjoy our vacation! From the get-go, I could tell Ellen was experienced and professional. She handled daily medication and a picky eater with no problems. Somehow, our pup came home not picky anymore! We got frequent photos of her playing and loving life with Ellen. She also stopped by our house twice a day to feed our kitties. Such a wonderful experience! Will definitely be using Ellen again.
Maisie had a blast and was relaxed and happy when I picked her up!!! Wonderful care, great communication and super straightforward! Thank you, Ellen!
Ellen is an incredible sitter! Boone loved her from the start and felt so safe and thoroughly entertained in her care! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter overnight, and Ellen made sure we were comfortable and kept us updated daily. Highly recommend!
Ellen was great, appreciated the easy and prompt communication, punctuality, and our pup enjoyed running around the yard set-up!
Ellen was great with my girls. She sent me photos during the stay and communities well. Will happily book with her again.
Ellen is great, took very good care of our two dogs. Communication, pickup and dropoff were all perfect.
