I am very organized and punctual and have lots of practice in coordination. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost, I like to introduce myself to the pet to see if they feel comfortable with me. Once I am able to establish trust with an introduction to your pet, I will make sure that I understand from the owner what they expect to keep the pet safe and happy. The biggest thing is to approach each pet with patience and care, and focus on ensuring the pet feels safe and happy and the owners are able to have peace of mind and strong communication while they are gone.

Information Ellie U. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything your dog is particularly afraid of or energized by, so we can be prepared before a possible situation arises. Additionally, if your dog has any allergies to be aware of, please be sure to let me know! I love dogs of many sizes and there is no breed or size that I am not willing to care for.

A typical day

I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, dog park days, and a trip to get a pup cup (if it's okay with their diet!). This is for your dog, so I always let them set the pace. From belly rubs to runs, I am here to pamper your pooch.

Trustworthy and punctual dog lover!

Pet care experience

I was very lucky to be born into a dog-loving family and was raised learning how to care for furry friends as a part of the family. Since then, I have continued to dog sit for friends and family alike, including elderly dogs that are deaf and blind. My other job is to support people through crisis situations, which allows me to respond effectively and responsibly in case something unexpected arises.

Ellie did a great job walking my dog! She was communicative, took cute pics, and gave him his dinner.

Ellie did a wonderful job staying at our place and caring for our basset hound Daisy who gets very anxious when left alone. Daisy loved Ellie from the moment she walked in the door and Ellie shared lots of photos of their time together over the weekend. Thank you Ellie!

Ellie was great with Ollie, who is a rescue and can be a little anxious with strangers. She was super attentive and asked great questions during our meet and greet, which put me at ease. During the stay, she sent lots of sweet snuggly photos, followed all of our care instructions, and left the apartment looking exactly as I left it. I would definitely recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a sitter!
