Thank You So Much, Ellen, for providing such wonderful care for Ozzy while we were away! Ellen bought fruits for Ozzy when we forgot to bring extra healthy snacks! It was truly a blessing that Ozzy got to stay at Ellen's meticulously clean house with the enchanting backyard!

Couldn't have gone better. Ellen was able to take my dog on very short notice. HE was the only dog, had fenced yard. Felt very comfortable leaving him there. A PLUS.

We left our dog, Brutus, with Ellen for a week, and she did an absolutely amazing job taking care of him! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease, providing updates and showing genuine care for our pup. It was clear he was in great hands, which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter—highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a responsible and loving caregiver for their pet! We will definitely be leaving Brutus with her again in the future! Thank you grandma, Ellen!! 💕

Ellen was PHENOMENAL!!! This was my first time using Rover, Ellen and any dog sitter that wasn’t a family member or close friend so I was a little nervous. There was no need!! Ellen made my fur baby feel completely at home and took great care of her - she constantly checked in with updates and photos which put our minds at ease - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ELLEN!!!

Ellen is an exceptional dog sitter! Enzo was so happy and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Communication was frequent and reassuring, and it was clear that Ellen genuinely cared about Enzo. I would definitely use Ellen again in the future.

Your dog(s) will love the freedom of my fenced in yard. I have no pets so your dog(s) will have the house/yard to themselves! Every dog is special and different and I will provide care tailored to their needs.

A typical day

I have many dog toys and interactive toys to keep them busy. We take long strolls at the Nautical Mile boardwalk. They have companionship during their stay.
