Dog Lovers with Years of Experience
Pet care experience
Hello! My husband JD and I love hosting dogs to play with and help wear out our collie! JD consults for and is friends with a local Veterinarian, so your dog isn't just in my good hands. We have a close and reliable veterinary resource! We enjoy checking out new places and parks, walking the dog(s), sitting on the porch in the rain, and pointlessly trying to teach my dog Lady new tricks. We have intermittent schedules that allow for someone to almost always be home! Due to our complimentary schedules, we rarely leave our dog for longer than 3 hours. No two weeks look exactly the same, inquire for what hours we will be around. We have an extra bed if needed, but also have room if you'd prefer to bring their own for their comfort. We have a large couch for your pup to snuggle up and catch up on his/her favorite Netflix series, as well. We can also offer a private place for your dog to be fed, and we are both experienced in administering any medications, etc. within reason. We love meeting new pets and their owners, so don't hesitate to contact us for a Meet 'n Greet!
Reviews
Ellen and her family were great caretakers for our Golden Retriever. Our meet and greet was easy, they were flexible with our travel plans and kept us informed with text updates and pictures throughout the stay. Hope to book with them again.
Hems had the best stay with Ellen and her family. She had a blast with their cute pup, Lady, and has been napping ever since she came home. Great communication and super easy scheduling drop offs and pick ups. Both Ellen and JD we’re so nice and welcoming, we felt great leaving Hems in their care. Will be back and would absolutely recommend!
Great sitter. Our pup seemed to enjoy himself
Ellen and JD as well as little Connie were amazing with Josie. I was a bit concerned at the beginning because Josie is big and Connie is little. But they were all fine with Josie giving kisses that knocked Connie over or coming over for pets that caused her to plop down. Got pictures of Connie on the floor hugging Josie. They should charge extra for toddler-training Josie. Highly recommend this lovely family. Got lots of pictures and texts that kept me connected!!!
