About: Hi, I’m Alena, a mom of three wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and, of course, a lifelong pet parent. :) I grew up surrounded with animals - cats, dog, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs - and wishing to be Dr Dolittle. For over a decade, I had three cats, and nowadays, I foster for Austin Pets Alive. I have good experience with giving cats and dogs prescription medication and grooming. I often spend my vacations looking after different pets with Trusted Housesitters, and I would love to look after and get to know your pets! I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.

“Sabrina is very nice pet sitter. She took care of my fur baby like her own pet. Benjamin had a wonderful and fun time with Archie. She sent pictures and news about him every single day. I really appreciated it!”


“Grant and Ashley were awesome dog sitters! Our dog JJ got along so well with them and their doggie Finn. Grant sent us photos each day to show how well he was doing and took him on walks. They also have a great backyard for the dogs to run in. Grant and Ashley are definitely dog people, super friendly and trustworthy, highly recommend them, 5 stars 😊”


“Ms. Lacy did an amazing job with my 3 babies over the weekend. Great communication and fast responses if I had any questions. I will definitely rebook her in the future. Thank you so much Ms. Lacy!”


“Chuck was great! My dog Jasper had a great time with him and I got updated pictures daily. Chuck is very communicative and accommodating. He lives in a great community where Jasper had plenty of space for walks and a nice backyard area as well. I can tell Chuck loved spending time with Jasper and Jasper loved it too. :) I will definitely consider boarding him again here in the future! Thanks Chuck!”


“Gryffin LOVED his stay with Alexandra and her family! She was super professional and communicative throughout our trip away, always sending updates and pics of our boy loving his staycation. When my husband picked him up he didn’t want to leave and was fully moved in 😂”


“What’s not to like about Kelsey. She is warm and inviting and loves on your dog. Her dog is the same!! Our Mini doodle had so much fun with them. I’m sure she felt like she was part of their family. And she warmed up to her husband right away. Great experience!!! Thank you again Kelsey!!!”


“Sive is a very loving and attentive caregiver and I wouldn't hesitate to leave Chico with her again. She shared daily updates and photos, took him on frequent walks, and generally catered to his elderly gentleman lifestyle! I highly recommend!”


“Nahid has taken care of my 2 dogs twice now. He’s very communicative & great with the dogs. His dog Vincent is so friendly & wonderful with my little dogs. Nahid is very helpful & flexible.”


“Lily took EXCELLENT care of our dog Dez! She an amazing dog sitter and kept us updated during his stay. We will for sure be reaching back out to Lily for future stays! Thanks Lily!”

About: With over 45 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every pet I meet. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, cared for dogs throughout every stage of life, and even looked after more exotic friends like lizards and both freshwater and saltwater fish. I currently volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter and Austin Pets Alive, giving me valuable experience with pets of all personalities and needs. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, playtime, or special care, your furry (or scaly!) friend will be in loving and capable hands. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. From morning walks to evening feedings, I’m used to structuring my day around the needs of pets. Whether it’s spending time with my own animals, volunteering at local shelters, or helping friends with their pets, animal care is built into my daily rhythm. It’s not something I have to make time for—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. My fully fenced-in yard offers a safe space for outdoor time, and I make sure all pets are supervised and secure at all times. Whether it’s walks, feeding, administering medication, or cuddle time, I follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while giving their pets the same level of attention and care. I maintain feeding schedules, walk routes, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home—whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them

“Angie took care of our dog like a member of her own family. We got lots of pictures during the stay. Great communication throughout the boarding and we would love to have Baxter stay with them again.”


“Amazing care takers. I was out of town for a week and they always kept me informed and up to date on Wally. They even gave me some tips and ideas for helping with his tendencies. Highly recommend!”

Alena S.
“Alena was absolutely amazing caring for my two senior dogs! One of them still has a LOT of energy and can be very needy and Alena made sure he got the exercise and extra love he desires. My older 15 year old dog takes medication everyday, and can be very demanding about her long daily walks, which Alena handled expertly. It was so nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing that my dogs were loved, cared for, and in the best of hands. I absolutely recommend Alena to care for your beloved animals. And for frame of reference, I have a husky mix, and a German shepherd mix, and she handled both of these challenging breeds with ease.”
