“Ellen has cared for my pets, a dog and cat, on multiple occasions over the past few years. My cat is older and has some special needs and Ellen truly listened to me and asked specific questions to ensure she had a good understanding to accommodate her needs. She is so patient and gentle with both of my “babies”, she truly has a way with them and I can see the love they have for her based on their reaction whenever she has come by. I don’t trust my animals with many people, but I would never hesitate to entrust them to Ellen. I know they are being well cared for in my absence.”

I highly recommend her and will be sure to seek her out next time we go away, our pup was super happy when we came home and you could tell he wasn’t stressed a bit. Huge relief for us because this was the first time we left him. Thanks Elana!!!!”
