Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds!

I grew up pet sitting for my neighbors since I was old enough to! I have had a family dog and cat, and now live with my dog, Cooper, and three nerite snails! I have also owned two hamsters and am comfortable with any rodents! I love fish and have had many bettas! I have also pet sat for tortoises before!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently offer care for any pets in my own home, as I have my own pets, but I would love to work with you to figure something out in your home! I am comfortable taking animals outside, provided they are leashed or in a securely fenced area!

Ellie took great care of our cat while we were gone. She followed all instructions perfectly and, most importantly, ensured that our cat had company and lots of entertainment every time she visited. Her detailed Rover Card information and selection of photos provided peace of mind, and I appreciated the extra videos. I’d book Ellie again!

Ellie left incredibly detailed notes on all the dogs, was very professional, and went above and beyond. Will use again.

Ellie was a phenomenal dog sitter! Each visit was consistent and we always received an update with photos that made this process a no brainer! Will use Ellie again in the future! Highly recommend!

Ellie did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town, I usually miss him and worry about him a lot while I'm away from him, but she kept in touch with us about how he was doing and made sure to send lots of pictures! Would trust her to take care of him again and would definitely recommend her to others.

It's important that I am aware of any behavioral issues, as well as any training protocol! If your dog is reactive, or has ever gotten aggressive, I need to know their triggers. I always appreciate over-communication rather than under-communication, so anything that could be helpful or important is something I want to know! If you would like me to assist in training your dog, or be working to reinforce the training you have done, I also need to know the general protocol for commands, expectations, and rewards!
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.
