Dog mom wanting more time with dogs

Pet care experience

I love dogs more than people. Since I work from home most days, I’m hoping to get some outdoor work breaks and enjoy some extra dog time. I have a 6 year old chiweenie who is my whole world and am well-versed in caring for high need animals. My dog had many health issues and behavioral problems that we have conquered, and I have spent my entire life caring for dogs. I have a lot of time and love to give your pet and am able to accommodate your pet’s needs.

Very responsive and took Harley on a walk. Will book again when I’m back in San Diego.

Once again Ellie took excellent care of our pup! She was responsive and timely with all replies. She also made sure he had plenty of recreation time.

Ellie was fantastic, and we definitely recommend her. Our dog played well with hers, and he came home tired and happy :-) Ellie has a great space, is very friendly, and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. We highly recommend her, and will definitely plan on using her sitting services again. Check her out! Thx :-)

I never open doors without a dog being properly secured on a leash. I take time to greet your dog and let them get comfortable with me before we head into the world on a walk. I make sure I have all instructions and expectations, and I keep my phone on me in case of any further communication needs!

Information Ellie K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behavioral needs (can they say hi to other dogs passing by?) Let me know what is most helpful/beneficial to you and your dog: A long, leisurely walk to sniff and get mental stimulation, a high energy jog to tire them out, or a routine walk.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks that suit their needs. For my dog, he likes to take his time and sniff everything which tires him out! Every walk is different based on the dog: if you have a high energy dog I can do a nice neighborhood jog with them. For senior pets, I make sure to take my time and let them go at their own pace.
