Pet care experience
Paco (my Chihuahua) and I are gracious hosts. We love entertaining and would welcome any visitor to spend time with us. Our yard is completely and securely fenced in. Your pet would have run of the house just like Paco. Most of all, your pet would be loved. All my adult life I've had at least one dog. The most number of pets I've had at one time is 4, 3 dogs and 1 cat. Nothing beats coming home to something that is glad to see you at the end of a hard day. About this sitter: I am a retired public servant. I am still serving the public by volunteering to help at community events.I have much love and empathy for animals. The center of my joy is my pet; therefore I would like to share that joy by helping others with economical, safe and trusted pet sitting care. My service is conveniently located in New Orleans East. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. It all started with adopting a stray when I was 7 years old. "Diamond" was a Heinz57 and I loved him dearly. From then on I was smitten with small animals; Cats, Goldfish, Rabbits and even a Gerbil. Now I am partial to small dogs, as they are very easy and convenient to travel with. Meet my pets There are no other pets in the household besides Paco. About my yard My backyard is fenced in with a raised deck, which Paco loves to sun himself on. I have potted plants which are relatively out of reach for small dogs. I have also planted a patch of barley grass to aid in digestion. There is ample room for small dogs to romp and play.
Reviews
My girls were happy and immediately comfortable with Elena! She sent photos and updates, and when I ran into unexpected car trouble she was able to drop them off to me last minute. I would absolutely book with her again!
Elena is the best! We have used her more than six times and my dog is always excited when we drop her off.
Elena has now looked after our 13 y/o Poodle mix a number of times. She’s fantastic and the dog absolutely loves her stays with Elena. Excited to go back and sad to leave. Couldn’t ask for more.
She will treat your dog as if it were a part of her family.

Information Elena E. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know first of all, eating habits. All the dogs I have had had hearty appetites. If a dog is a finicky eater I would like to know that. It's important to know if they are on a schedule for potty breaks and if they are house broken.
A typical day
