Loving pet care in Charlestown

Pet care experience

Hi! I would be more than happy to provide reliable and loving pet care to suit your needs! I am a lover of all kinds of animals and have worked in shelters and cared for a wide range of pets over 10+ years. I have been around both cats and dogs for most of my life and also have experience with puppies and some more reactive dogs from over the years. It's important to me to give all the love, play and stimulation that your pet needs when you are away from home. I provide updates and pictures with every visit, and do my best to make them as comfortable and happy as possible!

Ellen is the best! Her updates and photos are always stellar, and Frankie loves when she comes around. (And I love coming home to a happy cat) Hire Ellen!

Ellen is amazing!! My cat loves when she visits, and Ellen is great at letting me know how much Frankie ate and how she played. Ellen is also a very skilled pet photographer, and I always look forward to the adorable pictures she sends with her updates!
