Experienced + Lover of all doggos!

Pet care experience

Hello everyone! I'm Ellen and 26 years old living in downtown Indy. I have always had a love for every type of animal and have been fortunate enough to have gained experience in caring for the many different types (thanks mom and dad!). Some of the animals I have experience with include dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, mice, frogs, snakes, and more. I also understand that each animal has a unique personality and way of interacting! I’ve been a dog mom to my two 80lb boys (Jake the Golden Retriever and Fletcher the Flat-Coat-Newfie mix) for over 5 years now. I especially love big dogs but am a sucker for all breeds big or small. I am familiar with dog behavior, body language, commands, handling, harnesses, and more. I am currently in dental school Mon through Fri, so my schedule fluctuates during the week depending on my rotations and patients. Does your furry friend need some extra attention today? I’d love to take your pup on a walk!

Ellen is extremely professional and flexible. She always provides pictures and a summary of her midday walks with my dog (much appreciated!) There have been days that I needed to move our walk and she was very flexible and it never was an issue. She responds quickly to messages and requests. Highly recommended!!!

Ellen is the absolute greatest! With two dogs of her own, she is my first call whenever my parents' dog comes to visit and she needs some play time. Ellen may look small, but this chick is more than capable of walking her two massive dogs simultaneously and making it look easy! My favorite thing about Ellen, though, is how much she is willing to personalize her interactions with all dogs. She totally understands when dogs need personal space, what to do when a visitor gets too affectionate, and how to recognize when a pup just needs some quiet snuggle time. I would recommend Ellen to anyone in the whole world!

Ellen is a kind, patient, and loving animal “mom” to her own animals and treats other animals with just as much love. I am thankful every time I am able to have her spend time with my dogs! She truly takes the time to have quality interactions and play with them.

After meeting Ellen, my dog was immediately obsessed with her, and my dog is hesitant about ANY ONE! But not her!! My dog has found her 2nd bff and has enjoyed the couple times she met Ellen’s dogs as well. (Before meeting, Ellen was professional and asked it it would be okay to introduce them, which is always appreciated!). A++
