Information Ellyn H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your dog has any special needs and what your expectations for care are. I am comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and have cared for a dog going through chemotherapy before.

A typical day

Daily walks are a must! (Unless a dog needs something different). They can expect to be played with in our large fenced in yard. We love all breeds of dogs.

Pet care experience

Hello! My partner, Jack, and I are huge dog lovers. I am a healthcare worker and he is self employed - so he works from our home! I have had multiple pets over the years, rode horses, and was in 4H club. I started dog sitting when I was about 11 years old. I am comfortable around animals, even those with a little attitude. We love taking dogs on long walks, and look forward to exploring new parks with them. We also have prior experience with older dogs, and know the special love and attention that they need. I also know 1st aide should there ever be an emergency, and am comfortable administering medications. We look forward to meeting all sorts of dogs and getting to know them!

This is Duke’s second time staying with Ellyn and likely not the last! He always comes home happy and tired from a weekend of walks and lots of playing.

Ellyn and her partner were wonderful for our dog Duke, especially booking very last minute. We would definitely bring Duke back!

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.
