Ellie has cared for my dogs on several occasions. Ellie is a dog whisperer in my opinion. She is loving and welcoming to my animals, and takes very good care of them. Her extensive experience in animal welfare has given her a special gift with dogs. She is the first person I call if I have a question about how to care for my dogs. Recently, my dog Gizmo a Pomeranian that does not warm up to people right away, had a wonderful time at Ellie's house while I was away for four days. There were toys and other dogs for him to play with, and a enclosed dog run to keep him safe from birds of prey and coyotes. I really appreciated knowing that Gizmo had a safe and fun place to stay that was not in a kennel. I think he was a little sad to come home to be honest :-). I give her five stars and a lot of gratitude for her dedication and care for our four legged friends.
