Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Veterinary, Confident
I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was 12, and professionally working with animals for clients when I was 16, I've had nearly 2 years of experience in various animal hospitals with cats, dogs, and others. My skillset acquired ranges with first aid, emergency, CPR, oral/subcutaneous injection/intramuscular injection medication administration, nail trimming, sanitary grooming, fear free handling, and disease/parasite prevention. I am a professional animal groomer. I have experience whelping litters of puppies with puppy culture, and worked professionally at a canine daycare/boarding/breeding facility with fast acceleration to a managerial position. My passion for animals and empathetic caring of them has been lifelong. My dedication to optimal quality of life as it pertains to total joy creators in a home has been well known by everyone around me since a very young age and I am known amongst friends for my own personal menagerie.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home my dogs routine changes with the weather, they are crated inside when temperatures are too extreme for their short coats. Otherwise they spend as much time outside as possible, well trained recall and minimal prey drive means my dogs can free roam (along with goats, chicken, peacock) while someone is home, if no one is home there are 2 fully fenced dog runs with insulated dog houses full of straw. In a clients home I can follow instructions given for whatever the dogs are used to, I strongly believe routine is important for any animal to provide sense of security.
Ratings and reviews
Ellise took good care of our puppy. He had trouble adjusting & Ellise communicated with us, fed him special treats & then he did fine. I appreciated her sending pictures of him playing.
Ellise was great! We have an older dog who is going through chemo who requires a lot and Ellise made us feel comfortable enough to take a a weekend trip. Will definitely use again.
Ellise was amazing! Kept in contact, sent photos, expressed concerns and even told us games she was playing with the animals. I recommend her wholeheartedly and will use her services again!!!
Ellise was amazing! We got updates of our dog daily and she has dogs herself which was a huge bonus because our dog is a social butterfly and loves to play! To top it all off, she went above and beyond and she made sure that our dog was bathed before sending her home. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter.
Ellise did a great job with taking care of my boy Teddy. Her farm is beautiful, and the natural setting was just perfect for Teddy. Ellise communicated very well, sent me lots of pictures, and provided in-depth status updates. She also is a really nice person, and I felt confident Teddy was well take care of. Thanks!
Ellise is absolutely wonderful! She is cheerful, loving, and kind, yet firm in managing and walking my “spirited” 2 year old dog. She is always on time. In addition, she offers training tips as well as stories and pictures from her daily walks with my dog. I most highly recommend her!

Schedule
I work part time right now and would like to spend mornings before and afternoons after work helping neighbors with pets. I'd like to offer my free and down time to improving quality of life and assisting with pet care needs. TLC is a guarantee! Living on a farm I can also offer a unique and relaxed, enriching experience while pet parents are away. I keep boarding numbers low so there is no chaos or stress.

- I have no preferences or requirements on dogs or breeds. I have experience managing and handling all sizes and temperaments to keep everyone comfortable. Adhering to the animals regular routine is very important to me, I prefer to know if they are crated, have any anxiety, are on any medication or have special requirements. Having all expectations written down allows me to follow exactly as the animal needs.
