Safety, trust & environment

I always go at the dog or cat’s pace, especially when it’s their first time having me as their sitter. I believe in building trust and relationships with your pets, and try to always make it a positive experience.

Information Ellie K. would like to know about your pet

If I'm housesitting I'd like feeding instructions, medication instructions, and other germane care information. Please let me know if your pet is anxious or has had any reactivity in any situation. I strive to be well informed in order to provide the best possible care. I don't have breed preferences, and believe in getting to know each dog or cat as an individual.

A typical day

I love to take long, winding walks with dogs. I love to find natural spaces and trails when I’m walking. I’m also totally down to play fetch or even just hang out on the couch. Whatever your dog enjoys, we'll have fun.

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced pet owner with dogs and cats, and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). I've worked with many animals, and am a lifelong pet owner. I worked in the pet care industry for many years in various settings from pet resorts to shelters. I try to be flexible with scheduling, and I’m always willing to work with people. However, if you’re a first time house sitting client I do require 48 hours advanced notice, and a meet and greet before confirming your booking. Book with me if you want a laid back, capable, and caring pet sitter!

Ellie was wonderful, easy to communicate with and I hope to ask her again to look after our fur babies.

Ellie was great with my elderly boxer. She helped with medication administration and was communicative with me about how things were going while I was away. Thank you Ellie!

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.
