About: I've had first hand experience helping care for my family dogs, including a senior pup at one point. I work hard to make sure animals are well cared for, and that extends to family friends as I've helped with their precious pups as well. I will mention I have no problem with cats either! They require patience and love. I currently am a student, with classes on Mondays and Tuesdays until 6pm. The rest of my week tends to remain open, with working 12-4 on the weekends. Up until December 8th 2024, I will have rehearsals from 7-9 Monday through Thursday during the week! Availability is set to change by then. I can guide dogs to the crate if needed, provide walks, as well as food and water. I currently cannot house animals at my family home due to a temperamental pet, but I'm willing to take on any challenge beyond that! I do have experience caring for a senior animal, but I had the noble experience of rescuing a stray kitten. I'm willing to do what it takes to ensure any pet in my care is safe and knows its boundaries are respected.

About: I have worked in pet care of all kinds for several years now; from professional daycare and boarding, grooming salons, and shelters, I’ve done it all. I have three fur babies of my own, a dog and two cats, as well as several fish. I’ve even had reptiles! I have a graduate certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington, and I am Pet First Aid certified through the Red Cross! I am available Monday - Sunday to take care of your fur babies. While I cannot keep pets in my home due to my own babies, I am happy to engage your pet in whatever ways I can to keep them happy and healthy! I have been trained in dog group behavior and play behavior, and I have had cats (my own and fosters) for 7 years. I’ve grown up with dogs and had them my whole life. I am happy to let pups out several times throughout the day, whether it be walks or in a yard, and play as much as they would like! Cats I can play with as much or as little as they would like, and clean litter boxes as many times as needed throughout the day. I am comfortable administering oral medications (tablets, solutions, etc) to dogs and cats.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the personalized care I provide. Here are some key aspects of my service: **Puppy Training:** I have recently adopted a puppy myself and enjoy teaching him basic commands and helping him develop good habits. We recently completed our first level of guided puppy class and are starting level two soon. **Senior Pet Care:** I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. I understand their unique needs and provide gentle, attentive care. **Behavioral Understanding:** I am skilled in understanding and managing pet behaviors. Whether your pet is anxious, shy, or has specific behavioral challenges, I use positive reinforcement to help them feel secure and loved. **Individualized Attention:** I treat each pet as if they were my own, tailoring my care to their specific needs and routines. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. **Regular Updates:** I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry friend while you're away. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can rest assured that your pet is happy and well-cared-for. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home even when you're away. Currently I am working from home and have a very flexible schedule. In the mornings meal time and walks are a part of the routine. Through out the day there are plenty of play sessions, training sessions and potty brakes. In the evening more walking and dinner with any needed medication. I provide a pet-friendly space that is safe and comfortable. My home is clean and pet safe with regular cleaning of toys, bowls and any other pet places.

About: Picking a person to care from your pup is a daunting thing on a site where there are so many options, all of whom are proud to profess a lifelong love of animals marked with years of experience caring for, training, & tending to the furry members of the family. My passion & lifetime achievements in making puppies happy soars just as high as everybody's. Indeed, I am no different in having grown up, a kid who started a pet-sitting & dog walking business for my family, friends, and neighbors. Any of the neighborhood pets could tell you I was the "go to" girl & a puppy favorite in the local community. I have continued to be that girl ever since & delight in staying up to date to hear about all the families & dogs I have had the pleasure to work with. What makes me special & is the key to my success is my ability to ensure that under my care, every animal is comfortable & happy. Similar to people, I believe every dog has it's own unique & distinctive personality. I provide care that is customized & tailored to meet the needs of each animal, individually. I have an extremely high level of empathy & concern for the comfort & happiness of others around me. Worrying, planning, problem solving & following the rules are dominant parts of my personality. I can not rest easy myself if there are others in my life or around me that are uncomfortable or unhappy. This extends naturally to my abilities in caring for animals, particularly, the pets of other people. I understand the value of peace of mind, as a pet owner it is critical in making decisions regarding a beloved member of your family. I also understand & appreciate the intricacies of personality & the impact being attentive to the smaller details has on comfort & happiness. This is why I am especially great with animals that have special needs due to health, age, or personal anxieties that may cause them to be distressed under the care of other people. I am a positive psychology Phd student (it’s the psychology of happiness and if you know me you know it suits me) & former founding direct of an online marketing startup - being a student allows me to do almost all of my work from home. As a successful entrepreneur & future doctorate, my professional rapport & reputation are of the highest value to me. I take pride in the quality of the work that I do & strive to ensure others consider me to be consistent, reliable & exceptional, under any capacity. I am fun, flexible, compassionate, & playful, however I am also hyper-vigilant in being exact & responsible. I value transparency & work on my end to ensure my pet owners receive the confidence & security necessary to be certain they’ve made the best care choice possible for their animal. As my client you will be given access to a photo system that will allow you to follow along with the us on our puppy vacation through a unique account dedicated to your doggo. Booking with me is booking a guarantee that the care necessary for your pup to be comfortable and happy is exactly the care they receive in your absence. If your dog needs to be walked at exactly 8:36 am, can only eat scrambled eggs for breakfast & needs to take his medicine in drops of 2 second intervals- I am the person you want to watch your puppy. Want to hear more? Have concerns for your pet you'd like throw at me to get feedback & information before making a decision? Let's discuss! I am happy for the opportunity to meet you & can't wait to hear about the furry members of your family! I am a positive psychology Phd student (it’s the psychology of happiness and if you know me you know it suits me) & former founding direct of an online marketing startup - being a student allows me to do all of my work from home. Right now I am only doing owner home stays & visits as I have family members sharing my home. When in your home, I am quiet & peaceful. More often I bring my current university workload and spend my time there carrying on with my research as I would at the library or coffee shop. All of my visits can be customized and tailored to your preference.

About: I was born into a family of animal lovers. I’ve had many different species pets and have even owned a farm. You can trust your pets will be safe and loved in my care. I am currently between jobs, so this will be my primary income until I get a new job. In the meantime, you can’t beat getting paid to play with puppies. My dog is like me and my wife’s child. She sits on the couch with us, sleeps in our bed, and probably has the widest palette of any dog. However, if you don’t want your dog on your furniture, then I will respect your wishes; just know I’ll be sitting in the floor with them.

About: I have spent my entire life around dogs of all breeds and size! I love them all. I grew up in a home with 3 yorkies that loved people and each other but other dogs not so much. I learned to navigate walks for them to enjoy their time without noticing passing dogs that may set them off. I’ve also lived with a roommate with a lab mix who got along great with big dogs but would become aggressive around small dogs and have dealt with keeping her in an environment where conflict can be avoided. I’ve had experience with toy possessive dogs and very playful dogs. I currently own a golden doodle that loves to adventure and play with anyone! Again, I love all dogs from big to small!

“Marie Elena is the only person I would consider leaving my two little Yorkies with. The first time I needed to board my babies I looked at many pet boarding facilities and not one of them made me feel comfortable. Then I found Marie Elena! She is an animal lover that it shown when she takes the time to know each individual pet's like and dislikes. When your little one is in her care, it's like they are her own children. I highly recommend her to care for your pets.”


Kevin W.
“Kevin truly is an animal lover. Every dog I have ever seen him interact with loves him, he even has had some rescue dogs who were badly abused warm up and trust him unconditionally. He takes the upmost care of any animal, and has been know to stop a car to rescue an animal on the side of the road, as well as take in problematic/unwanted livestock when he had a farm. I can’t think of anyone I would trust with my fur babies more than Kevin.”
