Your dog's new best friend.
Pet care experience
I grew up with several large dogs (100 lbs Lab, 70 lbs Pit, 60 lbs Hound), fostered dogs in undergrad, and have been a pet-sitter on numerous occasions for friends and family. I absolutely love getting to know each and every furry friend!
Reviews
Ellen has been great with my dog Ollie! He really seems to enjoy his walks with her. She is very considerate and seems to really care about her time with Ollie!
Herbie was well exercised and happy when I got home, Ellen did a great job with him
Ellen has taken care of our lab and pit bull for the past several years. It is obvious to us that she loves dogs based on her interaction with the dogs and the attention that she provides to them. Ellen has shown us that she is responsible and committed to giving the dogs the care and time that they need for play. We have always felt like the dogs are in safe hands when Ellen takes care of them. We would highly recommend Ellen as a dogsitter.
Ellen has lived with dogs all her life. She is caring and meticulous, and she will do everything she can to ensure that the pets she walks will be thoroughly taken care of. She also has extensive experience with customer service and is ready to go the extra mile for the dogs she takes care of.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a roommate with a small dog who loves to play. Allowing beforehand that it will be a good fit, I can take your pet for an afternoon / evening of puppy play camp!
Information Ellen V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. My preference is that each pet is non-aggressive with food and comfortable around other animals.
A typical day
I live fairly close to Barker Field and go frequently with friends and their dogs, so if your pup has experience playing at the dog park, we can have a lovely time there! I also live by several large public parks where we can play games and smell all the smells.

Availability
I'm currently a grad student on summer break, so my availability is incredibly high. Pretty much everyday of the week. Need a walk last minute? I'm your gal.
