Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Ellie! Being around dogs and taking care of them has always been a big part of my life. Growing up my family has always had dogs, and through the years I have continued to love and care for my family's, friend's, and roommate's dogs all varying breeds, rescues, sizes, and ages. I have experience working with dogs with lots of energy, naughty pups, and easy going pups. I love taking dogs on walks, giving feedings, and giving lots of belly rubs!

We needed a dog sitter to watch our 1.5 year old pups, a 70 lb American bully and a 40 lb pit mix. We looked into boarding facilities and local sitters, many of which were out of our budget. Since both girls are bully types, one boarding location would keep them in a kennel most of the time with only 30 minutes of play with an employee, instead of hours in a dog playgroup simply because of their breeds. We also contacted many candidates on Rover and most did not respond or responded several days later, and others simply said they would not be able to watch our dogs without providing a reason. Unfortunately, many are fearful of these breeds and options for sitters are often limited. We were out of town for 3 days and this was the first time being away from our girls for more than a few hours and the first time having a sitter of any kind in our home. We wanted to find someone who was trustworthy in our house and comfortable around our dogs. We met Ellie for a meet and greet and saw how our pups interacted with her. She was very attentive, took notes and wanted to familiarize herself with where to find things in our home. She was very responsive and kept us constantly updated all throughout her stay. It put our minds so much at ease to see all the things they were up to. We came home to a clean home and happy pups. We will definitely work with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and reliable sitter!
Ellie stayed to care of our pup when we had to travel out of town for a couple of days. She reached our place on time, and gave us regular updates about our pup and shared pictures. It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with a dog sitter and Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our pup. We highly recommend her as she is very good with dogs and dependable.

During our meeting and/or initial phone call, I take detailed notes to ensure that I provide top quality of care to each pet’s own unique needs and schedules. Also during this time it provides an opportunity to discuss all logistics and go over any questions you may have. Rest assured, your beloved furry family member will be in safe and fun care with me!
