I'm experienced in administering medications, both oral and injections and eye/ear drops and there is an additional fee for extra care. I AM PRIVATELY AND FULLY INSURED BY PET CARE INSURANCE. I'm grateful for the opportunity to care for and give your furry family lots of love and create long-term relationships. Thank you for your consideration!

Ellen S. is amazing! She showered our three dogs with love and care, kept us updated with daily photos and videos, and handled each pup perfectly, calm and gentle with our mastiff, playful and friendly with our bully and pit. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care and can’t wait for her next visit!

Ellen was a caring host to our dog, Santo. It was the first time we used Rover and she immediately put us at ease. She sent pictures and videos regularly and we could just tell Santo so well loved in her care. Highly recommend Ellen!

Ellen was amazing watching our dog Maddie for two nights. She kept in constant contact with pictures and videos which made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. Maddie will be staying with Ellen on any future trips we have as we know she will have a great time and be well loved and taken care of.

Ellen was absolutely phenomenal with my two chihuahuas. Rikki and Carly are extremely timid and Ellen went above and beyond to make them feel safe and comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for my dogs.

Wafer has stayed with Ellen several times now and she gets excited to stay with her when we drop her off. Ellen gives regular updates during Wafer’s stay which I always appreciate. Who doesn’t want pictures and videos of their pup while they’re away?? I got lucky finding Ellen. I know Wafer is in good hands with her every time. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home and community is quite which is perfect if your dog is sensitive to loud noises. My yards are fenced and secure. There's a dog door to accommodate small to medium sized dogs to access the back yard but if they're not familiar with the use of a dog door I am always home to give them access to my yards. The gates in both yards are always locked to be certain no one enters when the dogs are outside. Safety is #1!

Pets

A typical day

I'm up early to feed and begin spending time with the doggies. There's plenty of toys for indoor/outdoor play. Daily walks and brushing (please bring your dog's brush) are included. Feel free to bring your dog's favorite toys.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Ellen can host up to 4 pets per night
It's perfectly fine if your dog doesn't want to interact with other dogs because every dog is different but they must be non-aggressive and no history of biting. Dogs must be flea and tick free.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
