"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 job is to help make your life easier. My home is dog friendly, i.e., dogs are allowed on the couches and chairs. 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.**

Reviews

As always super reliable and flexible!


Top tier sitter. Cannot recommend her enough. Diligent, responsible and took the best care of our dog and litter of kittens along with making sure our house was locked up and everything was secure. Made traveling a thousand times less anxiety-inducing.


Ellen is a fantastic sitter and always takes care such good care of our two dogs and cat. She sends great pictures and keeps us updated throughout her visits.

Ellen is a fantastic, experienced pet sitter. I highly recommend her. She stays in constant communication, is always on time and went the extra mile for both our dog and us. We went away with total pace of mind knowing Ellen was there.
