Pet care pro and trainer!
Pet care experience
Without animals, life wouldn't be as fun, would it? Growing up with a Shih Tzu, Guinea Pigs, Dwarf Hamsters, fish and a cat, my life has always been filled with that unconditional love that only an animal is capable of giving. My experience also includes volunteering with animal shelters such as Adopt-A-Pet and Chicagoland Dog Rescue. I have worked with dog breeds big and small. Whether you have a tiny Terrier or a Great Dane, I am happy to help with all your pet-care needs! My passion for excellence and commitment to understanding and nurturing animals will be reflected in the exceptional care I provide for your beloved pets. In addition to my extensive experience as a pet care professional, I also come equipped with training experience as well. I use force-free, positive reinforcement based methods to help aid in behavior modification in both canines and felines.

Reviews
Ellie was great! She showed up on time, sent pictures and updates and was very patient with our anxious dogs! We will definitely be using her again!
Awesome!
I am a picky dog mom and Ellie is simply the best! Ellie understands dogs, and my temperamental Australian Shepherd warmed to her immediately. Because she is a dog trainer I trust her to take care of my precious pup (and not let him get away with naughty behavior). Ellie is a professional and I appreciate that she responds promptly to my scheduling requests and can be counted on even though our schedule isn’t consistent. I always look forward to her Rover card updates! I highly recommend Ellie for anyone looking for someone who is professional, reliable, kind, and fantastic with dogs!
This was our first time using a service when going out of town. Ellie was great, the updates on Chessie were a relief. It was great knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much. Paula
