Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, active, loving dog-sitter!
Since I was eight-years-old, I've been taking care of dogs of all breeds! Growing up, I reguarly walked, fed, bathed, and played with my family's dog (she's 17 and still kicking!), and I have dog-sat for numerous families over the years. Since moving to Bozeman, I have developed relationships with a number of families, providing both day-time services and and overnight services (both boarding and housesitting). I am a very active person, and I love taking pets on hikes and runs with me in the summer!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ellie was great! She was very communicative, providing regular updates, and took great care of Toby. We had a unique situation come up where we thought we would need to send Toby to the vet while we were away. Fortunately, we did not end up needing to, but Ellie was very flexible and understanding with our concerns while we tried to sort things out, making the whole situation very painless. We came home to a happy, healthy dog. I’d recommend Ellie to anyone!
Ellie was great taking care of our dog and kitten. She was so respectful and sent us updates on how the pets were doing. Our dog requires medication and she did great handling that. We will definitely use her again!
Ellie was great! Good communication, sent pics, and my dog seemed happy!
Ellie has watched my dog Phife on numerous occasions and always does an incredible job. Phife never likes seeing his mom leave but when he realizes Ellie's gonna be taking care of him he gets ecstatic. She is constantly taking him on trails for long runs. Phife ends up getting more exercise with Ellie than he does me! Not only does she do a killer job around the house watering plants and keeping the dog and cat happy, but her work schedule is perfect to watch dogs. Ellie is a hardworking, trustworthy individual who you should definitely consider to house/ petsit!
Ellie is a fantastic dog sitter. We’ve had her watch our dog Wilson multiple times; he’s kind of an anxious dude and doesn’t mesh with everyone, but he immediately warmed up to Ellie’s energy. Ellie was kind enough to watch Wilson for a whole week in August — she sent frequent photos of their outings, which included lots of runs. I felt comfortable relaxing for a week on the other side of the country knowing that Wilson had Ellie looking out for him! 10/10 recommend.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work part-time and often work from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog! I am happy to work with each client individually to figure out a schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am willing to board dogs or stay in your home––whatever is easier for you and your pet. At my home, I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for your dog to run around, as well as a lot of indoor space for them to hang out. I also have a lot of experience using e-collars, and am familiar with all types of leashes/harnesses.
