"PAWS"-ITIVELY PASSIONATE PET PAD
Pet care experience
I have fostered many dogs, adopted even more, and truly cherish every minute. I also do transport for dog rescue. My home is dog friendly, i.e., dogs are allowed on the couches, chairs, and bed. I also have a large fenced-in backyard for frequent potty breaks, running around, chasing balls, or just hanging out together with me. Dogs will be supervised at all times along with all the unconditional love that I can return to them in kind. I would love to have a houseful of my own, but until then I want to help anyone who needs someone to care for their dog(s) or cat(s). Please let us welcome you and all the family, four-legged or otherwise, for a meet and greet in our home. **For WALKS & DROP-IN visits with NEW clients, a meet & greet is PREFERRED prior to booking.**
Cat care experience
Ellen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Ellen is fantastic and sent so many wonderful pictures of our pets. She communicated very well, always sending us updates of what our dogs and cat were doing. The dogs loved her from day 1 and Ellen was so sweet to them.
Always the best!!
Ellen is amazing! Even my shy cat loved her.
Zelda is very meek but ran to the door to greet Ellen when she came to drop off the key. Ellen was very good with her and took her for walks which she enjoyed. She is now running to where I keep the leash and looks at me..guess I will have to start walking her. Ellen send me several pictures (which the family enjoyed) and was great about informing me of her and Zelda's adventures. I gave Ellen a cash tip and told her I would be using her again!!!
