Highlights
Pet care experience
certified pet lover
I have been dog and house sitting for over 5 years! I just reactivated my Rover account after moving to a new city, but have been doing word of mouth gigs regularly for 5 years. I am happy everytime I meet a new dog. I am very detailed oriented, so I work really well with dogs that have particular needs, like medication, tricky feeding techniques, and care instructions. I value my own daily routine, so I have a lot of understanding for the importance of another's. And of course, I am always looking forward to ending my day with snuggles!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I give pets all the love and attention they need when their family is gone, and even send parents pictures of their babies while they’re away so they know their pet is doing well. I always clean up after myself (dishes, sheets, etc) and respect the space of whoever’s home i’m in.
Ratings and reviews
Ellen is a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She looked after our "fur babies" for several years, and it was only because of moving that she is no longer caring for our pups. It is a sad day for us, but anyone who has the chance to hire her absolutely should! Ellen always went above and beyond our expectations when looking after our dogs. She made a point to make sure their physical needs were met (food, water, walking), but she also spent time playing with and petting them which meant a lot as one of our dogs is especially anxious. We received daily updates/videos when we were gone on trips which always brought a smile to our faces and assured me of the care they were receiving. I appreciate her willingness to learn and respond to the behaviors and specific needs for each dog. Ellen treated our dogs so well- very patient and loving- and I know she will do the same for any future pups in her care!
Ellen is an amazing young lady overall and one of the best dog caregivers ever. Our dog Bleu absolutely adores her, falls at her feet! She is extremely responsible, very caring and treats our old man Bleu and our home with great love and respect, just like she does her own! What more could you ask for? Peace of mind is priceless these days! Ellen is perfect for this and I highly recommend her!
Ellen walked and cared for my dog, Minerva, last summer. Minerva is old (around 14 years now), and needs special care: slow walks, special wet food for her teeth, etc. Ellen was exactly what I was looking for in a dog sitter. She was easy to schedule with, very agreeable, and did a good job caring for Minerva. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Where to begin. I would not only trust Ellen with my own life and well-being, but certainly that of my furry friend. In fact, l would trust her even more with my dog because they are in fact better than most humans and derserve the utmost care, attention, and belly rubs - those qualities that Ellen is in no short supply of.
Ellen is INCREDIBLE with my dogs. She treats them as if they were her own, and loves them so much! I always know they are in great hands when I have to leave them with her, and my time away from my dogs is always worry free with her as my sitter. Ellen is very punctual and attentive, and always sends photos of my dogs while I’m away. I know I can trust Ellen to show my dogs the best care! Her sunshine-like personality is sure to make anyone feel at ease when having to leave their fur-babies behind. I will continue to have Ellen to watch my girls for as long as she is able, for she is truly a joy.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule so I can easily build my schedule around your pet’s needs. I am happy to go the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsEllen can host up to 1 pet per night
- I do not discriminate between dog breeds! I would like to be informed of any medication, health risks or needs, how they interact with others, and particulars of their daily routine. Also I am married so I would want to make sure it’s alright for my husband Benjamin to come along (dogs always like him even more than me).
