Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced yard! Next to Frick Park!
Our family loves dogs! We had a border collie mix for 13 years and a Shih tzu for 16 years so we are experienced with caring for senior dogs. We miss them very much and have lots of love to give to our furry guests!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My dog loves Ellyn and her family. They hang out on the couch, walk, and play. An accomplished photographer, Ellyn sends frame worthy photos. In those, it's clear that my dog's having laugh-out-loud fun. I highly recommend booking with Ellyn. It's stress and guilt free.
Ellyn 's home is a paradise for dogs; she has a great little yard and is steps away from the park. She was so kind to me and my dog. I will be using her again in the future.

Ellyn was fantastic! My dog, an elderly MaltiPoo weighing in at 6lbs, is a quirky old man. He can’t do Kennels, and I worried about him around other dogs. Ellyn took loving care of him, on short notice, and I received daily updates a pictures. I truly think he was loved all week long. Thank you Ellyn!!
A Star Sitter Rating well-deserved. She is patient, flexible and considerate. I had to make a quick booking, 3 days before an appointment, and she was able to accept within the first hour of me asking. The appointment kept fluctuating throughout the day, and she was able to accommodate those changes, making the appointment possible. My dog was well taken care of for the time she was with her, with my dog looking relaxed as she stayed based on the photo she sent. If you are looking for a quick, reliable, resourceful and kind Sitter for a Shadyside, PA boarding call, I highly recommend Ellyn
Our Moby had a wonderful time on his big sleepover with Ellyn! Feel so lucky to have found her!

I have two geriatric dogs that require medicine. Ellyn took amazing care of my girls while I was away and gave them as much comfort and snuggles as they could want. She helped my old dogs take their medicine and made me feel as though they were loved!

Schedule
I’m a mom with a flexible schedule and a car, Im centrally located and available most weekdays and weekends - my calendar is up to date. I recently started a part-time job, so may not be able to care for pups that need potty breaks more often than 4-5 hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with a dog door, so your dog can enjoy the outdoors. In addition there’s a big, beautiful park across the street full of trails and a large off-leash area that your fur baby will love. Indoors, there are several dog beds and couches so your fur baby can make themselves comfortable after a fun day of play.
A typical day
I love to help dogs get mental and physical activity. We’ll play with toys and go for long walks in the park across the street from our home.
