I like to know if the dog has behavior issues, how to deal with their specific issues, feeding routine, health issues, and any personality quirks.

I treat all pets as mine

Pet care experience

I walk, play, and cuddle the dog while I pet sit. I have given diabetic shots and other medications as needed. I am CPR certified for canines. I have fostered in the past before I moved into an apartment building which didn’t allow pets. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs. I also care for other animals, such as cats, chickens, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, birds, fish, etc. I have dealt with some special needs dogs due to issues before being rescued. I have sat for up to four dogs at once. My pet sitting business starting by sitting for friends and then posting pictures on Facebook. It grew from there. I have grown it into a full time dog walking/pet sitting business since July 2016.

Ellen is a wonderful petsitter. My two dogs really took to her and she spent plenty of time with them throwing their favorite ball. Ellen was also kind enough to bring the mail in, water the plants and take out the garbage to the curb which she didn’t have to do, but helped immensely. I definitely plan to have Ellen to help me in the future.

Five stars! Ellen took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. Handling a diabetic dog requires extra attention, but she was consistently prompt, thorough, and professional. Our pups absolutely adore her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
