About Ellen F.
Pet parents in Columbus, OH share their experience with Ellen F.
Excellent sitter. Our dogs love her.

Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!

Ellen was incredible! She took our booking on short notice which we were super grateful for! Emilio, our 7 month foster had the best time, I don’t think he even missed us. Ellen has the perfect house, with a fenced in front and backyard so we felt confident our little guy was secure and couldn’t make a run for it. She shared updates and photos/videos throughout his stay which gave us reassurance he was in good hands and we were able to enjoy our time away! We would highly recommend Ellen, we’re so happy we found her!

Ellen was great! She was ready at the time of drop off and immediately made Kal feel welcome. She sent me pictures to let me know that my pup was doing good. Ellen had all of his things ready to go when I arrived. Her patience with my puppy was exceptional! Kal-El didn't want to get into the car. Highly recommend... I will be back.
Ellen is the best! We always know our poodle, Millie, is in great hands whenever she stays with Ellen 🐩

Ellen is such a wonderful dog sitter! She takes amazing care of our dog, Millie, and always gives us peace of mind when we’re away. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We truly appreciate how attentive she is and how easy she is to communicate with. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust so much to watch Millie. Thank you, Ellen!

We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Ellen has done a fantastic job with Indy. We are very glad to have her taking care of Indy for us.!!!

Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.

Ellen did a great job of keeping us updated on how Oscar was doing while we were gone! She also was honest when our dog wasn’t getting along well with another dog for a day and handled it quite nicely. We definitely trust her with our sweet boy and loved how happy he was to see her when we dropped him off!

This was our second time booking with Ellen, and once again she was absolutely fantastic! She's super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which makes everything so easy. I really appreciate the adorable photo updates of Spud—she always looks so happy hanging out with her and her sweet dog Bailey. It’s clear that she takes great care of her, and it gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

Ellen is wonderful with our two dogs. They seem very happy and content in her care. We love the daily updates of photos and videos.
Excellent sitter. Our dogs love her and enjoy their time there.

Ellen was incredible! We know our dog was in great hands!

Excellent sitter. Our dogs love their time with Ellen.

Ellen kept us nicely up to date on how Oscar was doing and also sent the sweetest pictures! Oscar seemed quite happy and well-cared for. I’m sure he’d love to hang out with Ellen again

So happy to leave our pup with Ellen! We feel confident our dog is well taken care of and happy during her stay. The photo and video updates are especially appreciated as well!

Max is always happy and excited to get dropped off with Ellen. He has the best time with her pup Bailey. Highly recommend!

Max was comfortable and happy while in Ellen’s care. She sent me videos and photo updates during his stay. Would recommend!

Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
