Let me help you love your pets!

Pet care experience

I have helped taken care of a standard poodle for the last 12 years and have many years experience with cats. I do not currently have pets in my house but would love the opportunity to care for yours!

I hesitate to let everyone know how wonderful Ellen is for fear she will be all booked up the next time we need her to babysit lol! Jokes aside, our Benny quite obviously fell in love with Ellen and enjoyed his time with her. She sent me frequent updates, including cute pics. I feel she spent the time and energy to really get to know him and make him feel right at home and as comfortable as possible. He was abused as a small puppy and takes some time warming up to new people but he definitely considers her one of his best friends now and will be excited to stay with her over and over again. Thank you, Ellen for loving our fur baby as if he were your own. That really is priceless :)

Ellen was great with my dog Jolie. She cared for her as I would, and Jolie loved staying there. It was comforting knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely book Ellen again.

Ellen, was a extended care giver to my standard Poodle for the 13 years that Buddy was on this earth. She would give him two walks a day and did an amazing job with him. Standard Poodles are very selective on who they allow in their lives and Ellen was one of them. He was excited every time he went to stay with her. I would not hesitate for a minute to allow Ellen to take care of my future pets
