Pet care experience

I’ll ❤️ your pets as much as you do

I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since before I could drive. You name it; dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas - I’ve watched them. So if you have other animals that need care, the more the merrier! I love dogs and will be as excited to give your dog a walk as they are! I can give references phone numbers upon request. I have helped train dogs and puppies throughout the years. I may even be able to teach your dog a new trick 😉 I have great patience and a calm, easy-going nature. My husband and myself have opened our home with a very large fenced in backyard to welcome your dogs. Between the two of us, your dogs will feel right at home. My husband is also certified in dog massages (yes it’s a thing! 😅) so if you have a pup with joint or mobility issues, he can assist with that as a bonus! If you are welcoming me into your home, I will be sure it looks just as good as when you left it in my care. Please send me a request to chat about your furry family member - I look forward to meeting you!

Rebooked Ellen to watch our dog maze for the second or third time. She never disappoints! Excellent experience

Ellen did a great job with my 8 week old golden retriever. She took her out for frequent bathrooms breaks and there were no accidents during the time she was watching her! Which is an accomplishment for an 8 week old puppy. Ellen was awesome to work with!

Ellen took such good care of our little girl. She was so flexible and made the entire experience so care free. Thank you!!

5/5 the only issue is my pup might like Ellen more than us! Honestly, Ellen did a great job with our 4 month old puppy when we had to leave town unexpectedly for a family matter. She was very communicative and sent a lot of updates/pics so we weren’t missing Graham. Dropping off and picking up Graham you could tell he was very comfortable with Ellen. Her experience handling dogs really showed. When we need a sitter again she would be a top pick.
