I'm currently a full-time stay at home parent with a toddler and a baby. My schedule is relatively flexible, as long as I can bring my kids with me. For that reason, I will only be accepting clients that have child-friendly animals. My baby will be in a carrier and I will have my toddler in a stroller. I will not interact with your pup or kitty unless given explicit permission. I am open to weekends and holidays as well!

I treat anyone’s home I am working in with respect, and make sure to “leave no trace” as much as it’s possible. I am happy to accommodate other household tasks during my visits/stays, including trash and mail.

Information Ellie G. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any phobias? (Tall men, loud noises?) Has your dog ever been around children and how are they? Has your dog ever bitten someone? What were the circumstances? How does your dog do on walks? Dog reactive? Obsessed with squirrels? Does your dog have any allergies?

A typical day

I have a couple of favorite walks I love in the area where your dog can stretch their legs and enjoy new smells. I also love tug of war, playing fetch, and snuggling on the couch! I will meet your dog wherever their activity level is.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Ellie and I grew up around big dogs, and have had years of experience taking care of other's animals as well. I grew up with cats and I love taking care of cats too! I currently have a rescue Saint Bernard named Winnie. I have had experience administering medication, vast puppy experience, and senior dog experience as well. I can promise a nurturing, loving environment and I treat all dogs in my care like they are my own. We have a dog-friendly fully fenced backyard, as well as a walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I currently have 6 chickens as well in a fully enclosed run and coop. If you have chickens that need caring, I am happy to provide that service as well! If your dog is staying at our home, I will ask that they are not aggressive and try to go after the chickens in their run. - Large fenced in backyard for playtime - Flexible and understanding service offerings - Comfortable with specific care requests

I always appreciate the time and care Ellie gives my kitties. It’s such a relief to be able to travel knowing they’re so well taken care of. 😊

Ellie was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my cats while I was away and it was clear from the start that she is not only reliable and responsible but also genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much, Ellie.

Ellie was fantastic with my dogs! She sent me several pictures a day. Both dogs were in great spirits! I look forward to using her in the future!
