Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, provide consistent supervision, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

Information Ellen S. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, I do require the directions to be written or typed out for me on paper to be able to care for your pet to the best of my ability. It's helpful to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, leash behavior, medical needs, allergies, energy level, training cues, and any triggers or specific behaviors. The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning walks or potty breaks, feeding according to your pet’s routine, playtime and enrichment activities, outdoor walks to explore and exercise, rest time, and plenty of affection and attention throughout the day.

Passionate Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always grown up with pets. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, bathing, walking, and providing daily care. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m confident in my ability to handle a variety of needs with ease and patience.

We were out on an extended trip, and Ellen did an amazing job with our pups! She was very responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures. She left our house tidy and our dogs seemed to love her! Will definitely book again!
