About Ellen
Experience: 20 yrs
I am a retired law enforcement professional following my passion for a new career. 20 years of experience caring for and training animals has instilled in me a deep understanding of their needs. I prioritize comfort, happiness and boundaries, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine for every pet. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and medication administration. I manage high-energy breeds with active play, and vigilantly observe for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and communicate immediately with you. My services include pet sitting, walking, administering medicine, transportation, and dog training. Witnessing a pet's unique personality and offering peace of mind to owners are the most rewarding aspects of this work. Trustworthy, Punctual, responsible, and empathetic, I'm eager to use my skills to care for your beloved companion.
