About Me
ABOUT ME
I grew up with an assortment of animals from the time I was a baby. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I worked for a vet for two years in my late teens learning how to be a vet tech but never completed my internship as I had more pressing obligations (starting a family). I'm retired and I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I absolutely love and adore my current rescues ... two dogs, Oakley and Badger (both Heeler mixes), two cats, Taz and Bugsy (both Siamese mixes) and my older horse, Little Joe (a Missouri Foxtrotter). In my spare time I like to ride, horse camp, hike, sew and play with my '57 Chevy Handyman Wagon.

"Ellen watched our three fur babies and two horses for two weeks. This was the first time we have ever left them home. It was a fabulous experience. She really loves animals. Sent me pictures while we were gone. I have to admit it was a gift to me not traveling in the RV with 3 dogs! Such a good feeling knowing we have someone we can rely on when we have to travel."

"My 2 cats are older now, and one requires thyroid medication twice a day. They also have a rather complicated feeding routine twice a day, which Ellen manages perfectly! I have always trusted her to look after them when I travel, she is very reliable and responsible and will take excellent care of whatever critters you've got!"

"I highly recommend Ellen as an exceptional pet/house sitter, and I have the utmost confidence in her. She has a true love for animals and takes excellent care of your pets while you’re away from home. She keeps you posted about what’s going on with your pets, and will contact you with any questions she may have while the pets and home are in her care. She provides you with the peace of mind while you’re away from home knowing your pets are safe and happy. She took the time and patience necessary to deal with the special needs of my elderly, deaf and blind Dachshund, as well as taking care of my parakeets. She leaves your home clean, with linens washed and ready for your return. She has a life-time of animal knowledge, and I am so pleased that she was recommended to me for care of my “family” when I need to travel away from home."

Ellen is a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. She took outstanding care of my dogs, Sadie and Darla, as well as my cocktail, Percy, while I was on a trip. She sent me a photo of my dogs and they were very happy having her at the house. She talked to me on the phone and kept in touch while I was gone. I completely trust and highly recommend Ellen for pet sitting and will continue to have her take care of my pets in the future.

My cats have always had a pet sitter stay at the house with them. When I moved to Prescott Valley I lost my pet sitter. I tried a couple that were recommended to me, unfortunately I just didn’t get the same feeling that I got with my old sitter. As a pet owner you know when your animals are happy and mine were not. Ellen came highly recommended and when she was finally open to watch my cats I was so happy and so were my cats when I came home. I believe they looked for her when I got home This is the reaction that every pet owner wants from their pets when they get home. Ellen will treat your home and pets as if they were her own.

I have used Ellen to watch my precious pup, Tessa and my not so sweet cat Cassi for the past couple years. I can leave my home and even the Country and know my babies are well cared for. She sends updates, photos and videos. The house is equally well cared for. It makes my journeys so much sweeter knowing she is there for my babies.
