Information Ellie B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. I prefer to be prepared so I can best take care of them

A typical day

I love to explore with dogs. I’ll take them on walks where they can interact with nature, smells, and other dogs/people if they like. When the weather isn’t cooperating, I’ll make sure to have your pet expend their energy by playing with them inside. Just because we’re cooped up doesn’t mean we won’t get our exercise! With cats, I love to engage them with toys and give them pets/snuggles (if they like)

Responsible dog and cat lover

Pet care experience

I love watching my loved ones’ furry friends, and am looking for more opportunities to watch, walk, and play with pets! I have been watching and caring for my sister’s cavachon for 5 years now. Whenever my sister is out of town, or she just needs a walk I love spending time with her! I have been to training classes with her as well. I have also watched pitbull mixes, French bulldogs, and of course cats in my years as a pet sitter.

Ellie was an excellent sitter for our dog. She was communicative before and during her stay and sent us much appreciated photo updates. We came home to a happy dog and a clean apartment. I would recommend booking with Ellie!

Ellie did a great job taking care of our cats while we were in Europe for the week, and provided great communication and updates. Highly recommended!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
