SPECIAL NEEDS,SENIOR DOGS & PUPPIES

Hello All, I am a Certified Dog Obedience Trainer that teaches basic Behavior and Obedience commands. A Happy Dog makes for a very Happy Owner, although it doesn't come without Persistence, Patience & Perseverance!! Dogs love structure and a job to do! Most breeds will do anything to please you, Alongside the Job they already have PERFECTED, Loving us THAT ALONE CAN MAKE AN IMPERFECT HUMAN'S LIFE PURE PAWFECTION!! I specialize in caring for senior dogs and special needs dogs as well as end of life stages, I have helped many families and foster dogs to live their best life possible until they gain their Angel Wings and head for the Rainbow Bridge, although it can be heart wrenching it does come with many rewards, it has helped me tremendously in the grieving process of letting go of my own very cherished fur babies. When caring for your Fur Babies in your homes it is very important to me to stick to whatever your given schedule is, in older pets this is even more important. I will love & cherish the time I spend with your Fur Babies as much as I cherish my own. they will be spoiled. I like to know many things ahead of time to prepare properly, things such as eating/medication schedules, bathroom break schedules, activities they like & things they do not like, fears they may have, restrictions in diet and exercise sleeping accommodations and any activities they are not allowed to do. I do have certifications in Canine first Aid and CPR as well. I believe wholeheartedly that caring for your animals in their own well known comfortable environment is best for all involved. That way there are no questions or concerns about adapting to a new space with nothing familiar around. Rest Assured your Fur Babies will be in the best of care with my attention on them 24/7 while you are away.

Ellie was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of all 5 of my babies, and was very communicative while we were gone. She went above and beyond with house sitting and will definitely be my go-to going forward.

Ellie was amazing! She came over prior to our tip and met our dogs and it allowed my husband and I to get to know her so we felt comfortable with her staying in our home with our three fur babies. She took great care of them and sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. We are so happy we have found someone that loves animals as much as us. We love that we can leave our babies with Ellie and they will be in good hands when we are gone.

Ellie is absolutely wonderful with both of our dogs. We have a 9 year old Yellow Lab and a 1 year Golden Retriever. She has become our Pet sitter. She took amazing care them, she loves just like they are hers. We are blessed to have her, she is part of our family. How I will schedule and plan my travel is checking with Ellie's availability. I will not let anyone else watch our girls.

Ellie watched our two dogs at our house. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our dogs were so well cared for by Ellie. She was great updating thru out the day pictures of our pups. Our little dog has special issue with his eyes that require meds and cleaning. Ellie did a great job taking care of his eyes. Our dogs are like our children and when Ellie met them they loved her. We felt comfortable right away having her stay with them in our house. We will be having Ellie watch them for up coming trips. We were able to enjoy vacation with knowing the dogs were in excellent care. Thank you Ellie for doing such a great job and for the house being clean like we left it. You went above and beyond taking care of our doggies and house. Stormin Norman and Lucky miss you. We will see you soon.

This is the second time Ellie has taken care of our dog and cat and also house sited for three nights and four days. As soon as Ellie walks in you can see how much she loves animals , and my dog is crazy for her. She kept in touch over a weekend keeping us up to date on everything. Ellie goes beyond just animal and house sitting, our home was probably better when we returned than when we left. I will book Ellie again, she is incredible. I highly recommend her for any and all your needs, Again, thank you Ellie!

It is a must to know all your animals wants/needs upfront, anny requirements of food & meds and I also require full disclosure of all of their updated shots and medical issues.
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.
