Responsible Dog Lover!

Hello! You can count on me to take good care of your dog! I grew up with a 50 lbs medium sized dog. She was a mix of Labrador, Jack Russell terrier and Pit Bull, with a lot of sweet energy. It would be a pleasure to take care of your pup, and I am happy to stop by or stay overnight. They will receive the best attention, happy walks, and many many tummy rubs. I started babysitting for dogs via Rover about 4 years ago, while I was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have taken care of many dogs- from terriers to Great Danes- all with very different personalities! I have loved doing it and my dogs always leave well walked, and happy! Let me know if I can be of service.

Ellen took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with pictures and texts. Would definitely book again.

Ellen was so great with my dog! He's got some very specific quirks (he can't interact with other dogs on leash, for instance) and she was amazing about understanding and accommodating those. I also got lots of adorable pictures of a very happy looking pup.

Ellen took great care of my Eskie who can be quirky when bored. He had a peaceful and happy stay. I received lots of nice photos which is always reassuring.

Ellen did a great job watching Zelda! My dog is sort of weird and doesn’t really enjoy walks (yeah I know)… so Ellen instead proved extra cuddle time to make sure she was happy during the stay.
