Here it is. 7 years later and my bird is STILL doing fantastic! I recommend her to all of my friends who have pets with issues they can't figure out or are grieving the loss of one. I recently adopted two more birds and I will definitely be booking another session to see what's on their minds. read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Ellen of Ask My Pet what she truly deserves! Ellen's compassion, expertise, and genuine passion for animals, paired with her empathetic and intuitive abilities, is why she is so exceptional at communicating and understanding our pet's emotional and physical needs. Her ability to tune into my pet's energy has been such a game-changer. She has been able to identify the issues going on with my girls, and I have seen a significant improvement in their behavior, health, and overall well-being. I am so grateful for the work she does. Ellen is truly gifted and if you are looking for a pet psychic / communicator - she is the real deal!. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a holistic, and alternative approach to understanding our furry children better. read more

I had a 30m session w Ellen and found it to be the most healing, grounding, and affirming time spent. My Whispie cat was 17 at the time and behaving oddly around the house -- not leaving her litter box, running away and hiding often and unusually. Ellen quickly, calmly, patiently, kindly shared Whispie's feelings, desires and dreams -- I found our time to be exceptionally supportive and fulfilling and have recommended Ellen to many, many pet parents who are seeking guidance, peace, and answers. Thank you, Ellen! read more

I booked a session with Ellen in April 2020 because I wanted to find out what was going on with one of my cats, who had allergies. I didn't know what he was allergic to but every few months he would get rashes and eczema. Ellen was spot-on. I waited a few months before writing this review because I really wanted to make sure her words were accurate and so, here I am 6 months later and I can testify that after changing my cat's food to chicken-liver-free food, he has been showing no more allergy symptoms. Ellen had said that my cat was allergic to chicken liver. 95% of all cat food out there has chicken liver, but once I found the right food, my cat was fine. Thank you, Ellen. You made a tremendous difference for us! I intend to book another session now to have a chat about my other cat. Ellen is truly remarkable when it comes to animal communication. read more

Ellen is talented and has a gift with animals. She was able to calm me down from feelings of guilt after the passing of my dog. I highly recommend her to give you insight on any pet. She is a true empath and has a good heart. read more

Ellen is gifted, kind, compassionate and so much more. Five stars, or a yelp review, simply cannot say enough. I first contacted Ellen when my senior dog Sadie was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on her front leg, and the doctors wanted to amputate. There was no way I was doing that without asking Sadie, and Ellen helped me understand Sadie's wishes and make the decision. I don't remember the details of that first conversation, but I knew immediately that Ellen's gift was real and that I would not be making any more major decisions without her help communicating with Sadie. Later Sadie developed extreme separation anxiety and I called Ellen again. Ellen quickly got to the belief that was causing the behavior and worked with Sadie to assure her that I would always come back and would never leave her. After the phone call, the destructive behavior stopped and Sadie was more affectionate than she had been in a while. Most recently, Sadie began having seizures and I knew that her time was near. Ellen helped me to know Sadie's wishes and also helped Sadie navigate her transition, helping us both find peace in a difficult time. There would be times when Sadie was lethargic, despondent and looking miserable. After we worked with Ellen, Sadie would be smiling and walking around outside. The difference was night and day. I wish I had before and after photos. In our last weeks together, we talked with Ellen multiple times, and the result was always the same - afterwards Sadie was happier, more at peace, and our bond was stronger. In short, Ellen is an incredible person. She has an amazing gift and the most generous, kind spirit. My journey with Sadie was so much richer for having worked with Ellen, and I can't imagine having done it without her. I will always be infinitely grateful for her help. And I think Sadie would agree. read more

Ask My Pet - After our last talk with Ellen. She told Ellen "it was all worth it." - Pet Services Near Me

Highly recommend. Ellen has a beautiful gift and helped connect me with two souls I had recently lost.

I worked with Ellen for my seven year old rescue Bentley. Bentley has been dealing with pain in his hind quarters, had several different diagnoses, since January 2020. The four different diagnoses were, sprain, luxating patella, two partially torn acls and a loose knee. I did a lot of reading on about inflammation, partially torn acls and started making Bentley's food and added supplements for joints and restricted his activity and went through PT, which was expensive on top of all the vet visits. I opted for the less invasive treatment because surgery on both legs would be expensive, dog insurance wouldn't cover and the time involved with recovery I couldn't do without another person to help. 8 months later Bentley was doing well. Fast forward two weeks ago and Bentley had severe pain I was unable to touch him he was shaking. I couldn't get into my regular vet so I went to the ER vet hospital. Four hours later he was diagnosed with a herniated disc but to confirm an MRI would be needed. He was put on meds for 10 days. I contacted Ellen. She used her energy skills to let me know exactly where the pain was and spoke with my dog because my dog was telling Ellen he didn't want to see another vet or PT because it's painful and Ellen responded to him. This absolutely sounds like Bentley (during PT at home, yes PT has to be done at home with your dog in addition to PT therapy w/ trained PT facilitators. Bentley stopped doing the exercises at home with me, treats didn't make a difference. He completely stopped so I stopped paying $$$ for PT) during that exchange with Ellen, Bentley's ears we're perked up and once they communicated, shortly thereafter, my dog fell asleep and was snoring, he never snores. Ellen was VERY helpful with recommending homeopathic supplements specifically for the areas Ellen found pain, energetically, the his knee, muscles, and ankle. Also, a PT in LA. I purchased some of the supplements and will titrate before buying the others because I want to know what is working and what isn't or if Bentley has a negative reaction, I can pinpoint the supplement causing the issue. I will plan another appointment for Bentley's anxiety issues, Ellen. Thank you Ellen! read more

Ellen is the real deal. I found Ellen last week when I had some serious questions that had been nagging me about my cat for quite awhile. Being that Nhala and I both communicate differently (onaccounta the fact she is a cat and I am a human with no gifts like Ellen) I decided to find someone to help bridge that gap between us and hopefully get my questions answered. It was crazy how not only did Ellen know intimate details but through her comments (and Nhala's) I got a huge insight into just how my cat thinks and feels -- and wow, like mama like cat-daughter. Our session gave me a sense of peace, a sense of calm, and a true sense of my animal's well being. My cat has been my soulmate power animal by my side for sixteen years and today, because of Ellen, if it's possible I think we bonded even more. Nhala says "meow" - I would ask Ellen but I am guessing that means she agrees. read more

I didn't know Ellen was a pet psychic when we first met. In fact, she came to my home on other business. Upon seeing my recently adopted American Foxhound, Jessie-Belle, however, Ellen casually remarked, "She says you embarrass her when you yell at her." I do not yell at Jessie-Belle, but she had been corrected many times for chewing up shoes, underwear, books, etc. Jokingly, I replied, "Well tell her to stop chewing my undies up and we'll come to a peaceful accord!" Spotting our 17-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Coco, Ellen remarked, "She says she is fragile, but fine at the moment, but when it is her time to let her go." This just about stopped me in my tracks. Coco had cancer and I had not shared that information with Ellen. I then introduced Ellen to our other Cocker Spaniel, Zazu. Ellen said, "She's saying, 'that puppy has too much male energy and I just want to be left alone.'" I then explained that Zazu is blind. Lately, I'd been finding her in the closet or the garage as if she had been trying to separate herself. Several months later, we had to put Coco to rest. Two days afterwards, I saw Ellen, to whom I had not seen or spoken since our visit. She immediately embraced me and said, "Coco is right over there," and pointing to the side of the room. "She said she will always be with you but she is a little upset you picked her dish up from the floor." How could Ellen have known that we'd removed Coco's food bowl from its usual spot that very morning? I feel Coco's presence as fully today as when she was physically alive. I am grateful to Ellen. Zazu is no longer isolating herself and Jessie-Belle is, in fact, sensitive, just like Ellen told me. If my husband raises his voice while correcting her, she will retreat to her crate or the back fence gate. I am still amazed at the accuracy of Ellen's observations!!! Lizi R. read more

The real deal. I called Ellen after reaching a point of extraordinary desperation with our two cats. One or both of them had been peeing regularly on our bed and washing a down comforter multiple times a day was getting to be serious drag. After a quick email exchange, we had a pleasant and enlightening conversation. One of the first things she mentioned was that our older cat was angry because I traveled too much. Of all the things a cat could be angry about, this was right on the money. This year, we have both been traveling nonstop and the cats didn't like it. After that we engaged in a conversation with Ellen as the intermediary and came to some consensus about what was what, that unlike cats humans needed to work to earn food, I had to travel out of choice but would be back and they weren't being abandoned. It was human-feline group therapy. As this conversation came to closure, #1 cat came out of hiding from his private closet lair and sat next to the chair I was sitting in. We also had a conversation with our younger cat who was a stray. #2 cat was constantly anxious that we were going to give her back as a previous family had done. We assured her this was her home and she was going to spend the rest of her life with us. As soon as this happened, #2 cat started purring and rolling around. Both incidents were interesting observations. The proof in the pudding came when I returned home after a week and half trip and there was no cat pee anywhere. Our cat caretaker reported they have been cheerful and friendly the whole time I was away. Even though the main objective was encouraging them to stop peeing, during the process of talking with Ellen, I got to know the cats in a deeper way. She described their relationship with me and my wife as well as with each other that made total sense. It was fascinating to learn. Now that I'm back, they're with me constantly following me around, sleeping next to me and even under the covers. Even if you're skeptical, I encourage you to give Ellen a chance. I did and it was a great experience. I learned more about our little furry companions and feel enriched by it. read more

Ellen helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life as my dog faced the end of his life, having been diagnosed with an inoperable tumor on his skull and intestinal cancer. I was able to not only better monitor his condition, but best make the decision of when it was the right time for him to pass on, thanks to Ellen. She was completely in tune with my pup's condition and how he was feeling. She helped me feel confident about the choice I knew I had to make and at peace with what was happening. She gave me the assurance that my dog knew he was loved and cared for, which was all that mattered. I am truly thankful for Ellen and her services. She was a calming light during a very sad and difficult time and I feel as though she is a trusted friend, although our interactions brief. She was there for me beyond our meeting as my dog declined to offer help and advice. I am very blessed to have found her through Yelp. read more

I contacted Ellen during a very tumultuous time in my life after I had separated from my husband of 14 years. My then 13 yo daughter was seriously acting out, and my 7 yo furry daughter, Cloud, was looking / feeling pretty stressed out to me. I worried that between my daughter's emotional needs and mine, we were overwhelming Cloud and she was, in turn, feeling depressed. So I reached out to Ellen to ask her for a "diagnosis". You see, aside from my daughter, Cloud is everything to me. My best friend to be honest. There were days upon days when I would never have even gotten out of bed if I didn't have to walk her, take care of her etc...She was my lifeline. Ellen saved me from myself. Having never met my dog nor me in person, she was able to access / tap in to personal, deeply rooted truths in my life and offer guidance from a spiritual yet cognitive place. She offered explanations to questions that lurked in my subconscious. I was reaching out to her about my dog, and in return I got incredible insight in to my self and my daughter's well being. I took Ellen's words to heart, and am grateful to say that my fur baby is doing great; she's 10+ years old now and is as frisky as ever!! XOXOXOXXO read more

Update: Here we are in 2016 and I still rely on Ellen for her sharp and compassionate work with my cats (and now also my lovebird) - those who are on the earthly plane, and also with one who has crossed over to the other side. Ellen will sometimes after the fact mention work that she has done for a particular need of one of my animals, often related to something I have noticed but had not yet told her about. My jaw used to drop when this happened; now I've come to accept it as part of Ellen's outstanding abilities - OK, my mouth still hangs open once in awhile :) I have recommended Ellen to numerous friends, and after almost 3 years, my appreciation of her continues to grow. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *. Ellen has far surpassed any initial expectations I had for communications and distance energetic healing with my cats. She is a treasure. One of my cats is elderly, and in recent years has been diagnosed by the vet as having arthritis, a collapsed vertebra, and irritable bowel syndrome. When we adopted her some 10 years ago, we noticed the end of her tail formed a right angle, which the vet said could have been genetic, or the result of a traumatic break. There have been numerous days in recent months when I noticed my cat moving stiffly and having difficulty bending down to reach her bowls, only to open my email later in the day to read an unsolicited message from Ellen. She would indicate she had communicated with the cat (either she approached the cat, or my cat approached her), who'd reported feeling discomfort in her back, shoulder, or stomach. By the time I got home from work, my cat was noticeably more comfortable. One of the most astounding times was the day I returned home and petted my cat - to my astonishment, instead of making its usual turn at the angle in her tail, my hand kept right on going: her tail was no longer bent, but was straight. I opened my email and read a note from Ellen, who said she had been doing some work that morning on the cat's tail. My jaw literally dropped. Ellen is like a great family therapist with animals and their human guardians. Our newest cat is young and still kittenish, and can be aggressive. It was fascinating to hear her back story through Ellen, and the feedback about her from my older cat. We communicated about her own and the family's needs, negotiated boundaries, discussed appropriate and inappropriate ways to satisfy the young cat's need for dominance, and increased play time to allow the high energy youngster to drain off some energy. She is far less aggressive now and has begun spending a lot more time cuddling in my lap. I had first contacted Ellen on a whim after the death of my other elderly cat. I liked that she mentioned on her website the science of what she does. When we spoke, I was impressed with how grounded she seemed. And as it turns out she has some really good "left-brain" credentials, which, combined with her intuitive, telepathic, clairaudient, and energetic skills, upped her credibility in my view. I can't even begin to tell you how meaningful our sessions have been. For one thing, she validated the deep, enduring bond that my deceased cat and I have, and helped me better understand the strong sense I have that he is still with me. She helped him recover from some of what had been a very difficult last 6 months of his cat life. Ellen has helped me understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of my two surviving cats, and has helped me recognize the enduring and evolving contact I have with the cat who passed over. The help she has provided for my whole family, human, feline, and spirit, has been immeasurable. We greatly appreciate her. We count on Ellen now as an important and talented health and relationship partner for our family. read more

Ellen is such a huge help! My two kitties Isabella and Martina had been jumpy and one would randomly pick fights with the other. She definitely keyed into their personalities and we gained some insight as to why Isabella was attacking her sister, and after the session with Ellen, Isabella was instantly calmer. There have been no fights, even after Martina hissed at her sister! We also discovered why Martina had been refusing her kidney medicine. Ellen conveyed Martina felt the medicine was bitter. When we went to the vet to get a kidney re-check he stated that the FDA has stopped adding the flavor additive because it had the potential to turn rancid before the medicine ran out!! We have peace and Isabella is now trying to groom her sister again! I had tried everything before contacting Ellen and now I wish I had contacted her sooner! read more

I am not sure if Ellen has the gift or if she just misleads you. I didn't learn anything new about my recent dog that passed away. I was open to any responses because I was so heartbroken. However, she didn't tell me anything to confirm that my dog was in fact the one she said she was speaking to. In addition, she stared our session by saying that another person she was giving a reading to was trying to test her and that it didn't work out well. We talked for about 5 to 10 minutes about how you shouldn't test her. Then as she was giving my reading that I paid for upfront, I started getting the impression she was going to ask for more money. Soon after, she went beyond our time frame and asked for more money which really made it awkward since I didn't receive any true evidence she was communicating with my deceased pet. Also, she said she wanted more money to make sure she gets to heaven or finds her way. I declined paying more money and she said we can hang up and she will continue the prayer to make sure everything works out for my dog. It was a bit strange. When she asked for more money and I said I didn't want to provide additional money at the time, I said I would rather set-up another call to speak to her more about my deceased pet, she then said that is not necessary. She said there is no reason to call her again. It was a strange call and I don't get all of the great reviews because it didn't feel real. I wanted it to be real and I love my dog so much and it was shortly after her death but I didn't walk away from our call feeling comforted. Maybe she has great intentions but I will let you decide. I saw the positive reviews but I was not satisfied with my reading or the request for more money. It seemed fake. read more

HEART OF GOLD! Ellen is so truly special and has the biggest heart. I know the animals must enjoy their communications as she is kind, lighthearted, and so caring! I truly appreciate her helping a feral injured stray kitty and being a safe place for him to get reassurance through his long recovery. I found Ellen in Yelp and she deserves every one of her 5 Stars!! Update 7/12/17: Simply AMAZING!! It gives me great pleasure to update this post. Moments after this kitty and Ellen communicated, the vet called to tell me "we made progress". The feral injured kitty would now let them help! Sure he still wasn't happy and hissed a lot as he had a broken jaw and other injuries, but he began to trust us. I was even able to pet his head (and he liked it). Ellen was also able to convince him to eat. Before he was force fed with a syringe and the vet suggested a feeding tube. Nope! Even though he was hurting, he began to accept the syringe and swallow his food. Ellen explained this vet cage was not his new life, and we needed 4-6 weeks for him to heal and "deal" with us humans. Once healed there will be a second surgery to remove wires from his jaw. We promised him a better life! We had arranged to bring this homeless, FIV + kitty to a sanctuary in Fresno where he could live out his years (both indoors and out) with other FIV+ kitties with even a tree to climb. He would never have us scary humans bothering him. He would be free yet safe! The kitty wanted to see a photo of the tree, so Ellen drive to the vet and placed a photo in his cage... along with incredible essences to help him. After a few weeks of hospitalization and working with Ellen, it was time to move him to a foster house where he could stay and heal until surgery. Ellen said this kitty once had a family and home, yet was abandoned years ago. A neighbor on Nextdoor actually confirmed this after the fact. Well.... 30 minutes at his arrival to his Foster's home, he was a total house kitty and plopped on "his now forever" dad's lap. This is the same kitty the neighbor's feed for years but could never touch. The same one who greeted everyone with a hiss and if you got too close his swat would draw blood! I never thought he could be in a family but Ellen knew!! This kitty is now the most friendly kitty ever! He is so loving and has an incredible dad. His father thanks us for bringing this little man into his life. It's so heartwarming!! Surgery is scheduled for Monday to remove his wires. His dad and I will be taking him to the vet together. Ellen is explaining this to him so he's not too afraid. We are excited he has a home to come home to! I couldn't have done this without Ellen! She has a gift and I'm so truly grateful for her big heart and her ability to help these animals! read more

Ask My Pet - This kitty has light in his eyes thanks to Ellen! - Pet Services Near Me

Where to even start? Ellen just saved me hours of anxiety and sleep deprivation as she was able to quickly and clearly reach out and assess my dear fur-baby. After hearing that it was necessary to have a last minute surgery, I wanted to be able to properly prepare my Yorkie for what he was about to experience and hopefully alleviate any unnecessary anxiety for him. Without missing a beat, Ellen was not only able to quickly pick up not only on very specific personality quirks of his, but also of my other pets as well as one that had recently transitioned. I was SHOCKED at what she knew and the messages that were conveyed that only my family knew of. She was not only able to help with my pet's stress level, but also made me feel so much comfortable knowing that I had done everything that I could to fully prepare him. She also gave us a full test of what would help in the future and sent a personal recommendation of remedies for us both! I couldn't thank Ellen enough if I tried- her innate caring nature came through so well and was such a comfort that I didn't even know I needed for myself as well as a noticeable sense of comfort from my usually high-strung baby. Thank you, Ellen! read more

Ellen is amazing! We were impressed with her ability to reach out to our cats in a way we have never been able to, and grateful for the opportunity to know what's really going on in those furry little minds. Through her gifted communication efforts, we've finally made headway in working on a behavioral issue that has been going on for years, and we're starting to see a real difference now (Thankfully!). She also worked with them while we went away for 2 weeks, helping to assuage their separation anxiety & reassure them we we're coming back (particularly important to us as they we both shelter kitties who had been abandoned by their previous humans). The difference was immediately apparent when we returned. They were both noticeably calmer & appeared well adjusted, which was a remarkable difference from our previous experiences. It's so interesting (and fun!) to see how she works - try her and you'll see! read more

I came away from my session disappointed, especially after the glowing reviews and media coverage Ellen has received. She completely misread the dog in question's personality, asserting that he told her he dislikes some of the activities he shows extremely visible pleasure taking part in, asked leading questions that seemed to be aimed at fishing for information from me, and spent the majority of the session attempting to push the purchase of "floral essences" intended to balance/ treat the dog's personality issues (a good 60% of the call seemed to be devoted to this rather than facilitating communication between me and my dog). Any insights she offered were generalizations that could be applied to the vast majority of dogs out there. I came into this with good faith and a long list of questions to ask and affirmations to pass along to my dog and ended it feeling like I'd been swindled, and not even with style! read more

I had the most amazing experience with Ellen and my dog! I'm very focused right now on making sure my dog has the best life. I sought out Ellen to help me figure out what and who my dog loves the most. I could never have imagined the incredible discussion we had. It was surprising, heartwarming, hilarious, and so very special! To hear my dog's personality through someone else was a trip! I learned so much, and I can't wait to do it again. One thing Ellen did that I wasn't aware would be a part of the session, was test my dog for various flower essences and supplements to support her. She identified several without us even discussing health or behavioral matters first. She doesn't sell these products, she just makes recommendations. I received a detailed email with not only the recommendations for my dog, but also for my dog's favorite cat, and we didn't even discuss health stuff about the cat!! I was amazed at how appropriate the suggestions all were. I bought everything as well as additional flower essences for my pets and myself! It's been two months and I have noticed such a difference. I highly recommend you make an appointment with Ellen in order to connect with your pets on a new and meaningful level. It's good to have a few ideas about what you want to know, but I recommend you also really just be open to whatever! My dog apparently was so excited to talk and had a lot to say! read more

Ellen is AMAZING. She picked up on so much about myself and my pup, what we had both been though. It was amazing to be able to communicate with him on a deeper level and know that I was the cause of some of his distress and how to fix it. I feel so much closer to my dog now. Can't wait for our next session. So worth the time and money. She is truly wonderful and absolutely one of a kind! read more

Love love love Ellen!!!!!she really communicated with my Mokie!!!he did so much better with her and she really helped us. Ellen is kind and gifted from above.I have worked with others, Ellen is the real deal! It may take a few sessions but she is worth it for long term and for a life long relationship to help your pet. There are read more

Ellen is amazing! Our 2 dogs passed from old age within a couple months of each other. Our cat Benny became very depressed. Ellen was able to connect with Benny and help him to understand why they were gone. After her session she told me that my dog Joey was confused as to where he was. She was able to help him understand where he was and that he was going to be okay. Joeys spirit was even playing with Benny my cat. It sounds crazy but she connected with my cat and by the next day he was a very different kitty. He is now more active and happy than before Ellen was involved. Ellen was able to help Joey understand that he could come and go as he pleased and he even visited her in the shower after the initial session on his own. Ellen had no idea he was a water dog and that the shower was his favorite place to cool down. He loved the water. He was a 130lb black lab and border collie mix. We are eternally grateful to Ellen for not only helping our loved ones cross over but she helped us too be at peace. I highly recommend her to help your family after a pet passes. She can help them understand what is happening to them and bring you peace in the process. read more

Ellen is fantastic. My dog and I were headed to Europe for seven weeks and I was very worried about my dog being a good houseguest with our family abroad. After a session with Ellen, it all turned out great. My dog was the perfect guest with no barking, no peeing in the house, and even agreeing to sleep on the floor when she normally sleeps in our bed. She also didn't beg for food at the dinner table. I credit this all to Ellen's conversation with our Corgi mix. She is a life saver! read more

We adopted a 3 year old German Shepherd who had been in a shelter for one month. She came into our lives as a very shy, scared dog who now had to cope with a new family plus two cats. After a few weeks of going nowhere, we reached out to Ellen at Ask My Pet for advice and guidance. I found Ellen on the internet, and really liked her website, and felt that she was professional and could help me. I figured that I would have one appointment with her to see if she could help out. (www.askmypet.com) Ellen was able to talk to all three of our pets! I was amazed at the insight and coaching she was able to give us. Some examples: our dog did not like day care (we were so anxious to keep her occupied during the day) and wanted to be home in the back yard and have walks. She also did not want to play with toys and just wanted some time to adjust. We also got an idea of her history and time in the shelter. Our youngest cat, who is a tyrant, was mad that we got the dog, and wanted to bat the dog and hiss whenever she could. Our older cat moved into the closet and did not want to come out. Ellen negotiated with the cats and the dog --- the next day the cat moved out of the closet and has never gone back. Our young cat has stopped batting the dog, but does give an occasional hiss. All of this after one appointment! Since our first appointment, Ellen has spent more time with our pets and I must admit incredible changes have taken place. After years of having these cats, and loving them and spoiling them, Ellen has done more with them in a few appointments than I ever have been able to do. They are much happier then they were prior to us getting the dog. And I love to hear their commentary on us! --- "Why is she gone so much, I need more attention" (you guessed it, from our tyrant cat). "That sounds like something your husband would do" (also from the cat). While this seems like an unorthodox way to communicate with your pets, I really believe in Ellen's skills and her ability to help our pets modify their behavior as well as to help us understand what they want. I plan to keep Ellen as part of our extended family and check in with her every few months to keep everything in sync. read more

Ellen is amazing! I have been having problems with my 15 year old cat "marking" after many recent changes in our life that caused him a lot of distress. Ellen was able to calm him and clear his issues. It has relieved A LOT of stress and heartache for me. This solved a problem for me that I was afraid would never end! We are still working on it but she will stay with you to the end. Her goal is to make sure everybody is happy and the problems are resolved. I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Okay, so seriously--Ellen is wonderful! The urinating problem required some more sessions, and I found out that my little cat was actually a culprit as well! I highly recommend her services not just if your pet is having problems, but simply in order to get to know your pet better. Ellen honestly cares about you and your pet, and is lovely to work with. I've also had a session with her for myself and found her to be full of insight. read more

Ellen is a miracle worker!! My cat tried to attack a dog in our home but redirected his aggression on me when I tried to stop him. This caused my sweet baby by to wanna attack me every time he saw me after that. Of coarse I was extremely heart broken and shaken up and vets were no help on how to restore our relationship they just wanted him on anti depressants! Ellen actually spoke to him and did several sessions of energy clearing along with recommending flower essences to him and I! After about a few sessions and regularly using the flower essences she was able to not only restore our bond but we are closer than before and have a better understanding of each other! I am so thankful for Ellen she is such a pleasure to work with and she truly showed she cared about us! She is so sweet I would recommend her to anyone with a pet! read more

ELLEN IS THE REAL DEAL. The ONLY problem with Ellen is that she is so good you want to talk to her every day! I have four dogs - one recently diagnosed with cancer, (Sally) one who survived cancer and now has a heart arrythmia (Rosie), one who has been trying to fit in for a year since I rescued him from the street (Manny) and an alpha Lab who won't stop barking (Sancho). Ellen has helped me see them each as individuals and as a pack in a way i never imagined when I first called her to help me sort the trauma and stress of making treatment decisions for Sally. She immediately got all of their specific personalities and medical issues, it was CRAZY. It has been a very intense time at our house and Ellen has very generously been available to help me sort through the stress. I can't imagine going through all of this without her! UPDATE: 06/12/15 - Since my first review in September, Rosie and Sally passed away and Manny nearly died during liver surgery. Honestly I don't know how I would have gotten through it all without Ellen (and a few margaritas). She works with a healer (Heidi) and I know that together they helped me buy a little extra time with Sally so we could say good-bye, which I am extremely grateful for. The conversations I have had with Sally through Ellen are so specifically in Sally's voice and temperment that I have never had any doubt Ellen was communicating with her. I also know that she and Heidi helped Manny pull through his surgery, which given his age and how dangerous it was, the doctors did not think he would make it. After Sally passed, Ellen was the only person who could help me through the grieving process, which is the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life. Through Ellen, I talked to Sally after she passed. Ellen gave me great comfort by helping me to see and feel Sally and to know that she is being taken care of and is happy. Ellen is not only extremely gifted, she is kind and generous (probably more than she should be). Here's a crazy thing - after Sally passed, my dog Sancho suddenly slept with me one night. He hasn't done that in years, mostly because Sally owned the bed and since I moved to a two story house has always considered it his job to stay downstairs guard the door. Ellen told me she asked Sancho to keep me company because i was missing Sally, and pretty much every night since Sancho has slept with me. When I first talked to Ellen, I was one of those people who wanted to believe but wasn't sure. Now it's more than believing, it's a knowing. It's extremely comforting to know that I will always be able to talk to Sally through Ellen. Manny has come so far since I started talking to him through Ellen, because she helped me understand his history and needs in a way I would have never known (he's a rescue dog who came to me when he was already an old man of 10). If I had unlimited funds I would probably talk to Ellen once a week because she's better than a shrink! read more

Ellen is extraordinary. Last summer she helped me with my very smart, very difficult Ocicat Boo, who had a nasty anger-peeing habit -- every 3-4 days he'd pee on something inappropriate, and we were at our wits' end with him; Ellen was a last resort. After two sessions with Ellen and a round of her specific prescription of flower essences, now (except for a rare occasion on a messy pile of laundry, he's a pretty OCD little freak-monkey) he exclusively uses the litterbox! And Ellen's effect was instantaneous; after just one 'conversation' with Boo, that evening he greeted my boyfriend, of whom he'd been previously terrified, at the front door by reaching up to put his front paws on his thigh! Boo seems much happier and much more emotionally integrated into our household. And the transformation has stuck; it's now been ten months and the good behavior and happier demeanor continue. I can't thank Ellen enough for helping him work through his issues! read more

Ellen at Ask My Pet is a true healer. She was able to look at pictures of my pets and tell me exactly how they were feeling. We have recently moved to a smaller home and the pets had to stay with friends temporarily, which caused lots of stress. Because of Ellen's advice we are all settled in our new homes and the pets are once again well adjusted. I was so impressed with Ellen's professionalism, knowledge, and abilities as a pet psychic and would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets. Dot J. read more

All I can say is sceptics take heed. Ellen helped me contact my dog who tragically passed on three weeks ago, and helped me understand how to communicate and connect with her using my own self. It was very special and beautiful, and I can tell you Ellen has a very wonderful gift and I thank her endlessly for sharing it with the world. read more

I have posted a review about Ellen before, but after almost a year (and several sessions later) I feel moved to post again. I cannot say enough kind words about her! I highly reccomend Ellen to anyone who is looking to further their connection and communication to their animal or pet. Ellen is a true a miracle for me and my cat, Cashmere, who once suffered from extreme anxiety. I have had Cashmere for several years, and was terrified to take her to the vet due to her fear of being touched or put in a carrier. I found Ellen online, her energy seemed so genuine and kind, and I booked my first appointment. Since then, I have had several sessions with Ellen, and she has proven to not only be patient, kind, genuine and caring, but that her methods are incredibly effective and her divine connection to animals is undeniable. Not only has Cashmere been less anxious (coming out of hiding, being more relaxed, trusting, open to me being close to her) but she also had a successful vet appointment (something I thought was nearly impossible). I'm not sure I could do it without Ellen, she is a divine blessing. If you are looking to connect with your beloved pet, Ellen is the light you've been seeking. I can't reccomend her enough. read more

Ellen was so amazing. She knew exactly what was going on with my two rescue bunnies. Lily was being standoffish and Bea is shy. She explained why and it totally made sense. She knew a lot of details that she couldn't have known and I felt it validated everything. Her follow up emails were also really helpful. She really cares and I absolutely will use her again. read more

We just recently started working with Ellen to help us heal our little kitty;she responded right away and we were able to book a session with her quicklyOur little girl has been suffering from anxiety since we rescued her years ago,with an exaggerated startle response to even mild ambient noise or people's voices.She hides under the covers for hours during the day.Recently,she was having difficulty urinating so we took her to the ER where she was diagnosed with having cystitis and a bladder stone.They recommended a special diet,a complete change for her,so she was refusing to eat it.That's where Ellen comes in!She spoke with our girl and discovered that she in fact had experienced trauma and grief very early in her life and was able to clear a certain amount of that in the first session.Also,Ellen worked with her to help her understand what her treatment was all about and help ease her fears about a return trip to the vet.We had a scheduled vet appt.the very next day and kitty appeared to be less anxious about this and did very well.This vet also recommended a special diet to dissolve the stone but with a different texture which she seems to like fairly well- change isn't easy for any of us but Ellen was able to let kitty know that this is what is needed for her to heal.Ellen also suggested flower essences from a company that she trusts as well as homeopathic remedies from a person she works with regularly and trusts.Ellen is a lovely person - kind,compassionate,patient,excellent at what she does,resourceful and responsive.And best of all,our little one seems to be doing so much better!We look forward to our continuing work with Ellen and would recommend her highly. read more

My cat had a bad reaction to a procedure at the vet. He was so traumatized that afterward he was barely eating or drinking. This went on for days and I was worried that he wasn't going to make it. Ellen spoke to him and did energy work as well. He started to eat and drink immediately after she worked with him. She was able to help him release the emotional trauma and then the physical healing could begin. He's now back to his old self. I'm so grateful to Ellen. I don't know what we would have done without her help. Truly a life-saver. read more

I found Ellen on Yelp while I was searching for a dog psychologist. My standard poodle has been having anxiety and some scary health issues. I was a little skeptical about anyone's ability to connect with an animal or human through a picture, but Ellen proved herself to be 100% authentic. It was amazing to hear her interact with my dog, and me at the same time. We were able to ask each other questions and clear up a lot of the emotional disconnects we had. It sounds crazy, but we were able to talk her through behavioral issues, and help her understand that my new relationship doesn't mean I love her any less. After a brief negotiation (which involved extra treats on overnight visits), we are finally getting acclimated to our new life. read more
