Driven to eliminate ruff days!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was little dogs have been my favorite animal, and that has been mirrored by the way I treat them. I go above and beyond for pups. I believe that they are intelligent, sweet, individuals that deserve the same love and respect that children do. I currently have a 1 year old Bernedoodle. I love discovering the unique personalities that each dog has, and playing with them until we are both fast asleep! You can often find me petting dogs in my spare time. Rest assured I am a responsible, caring individual who will make sure your fur friend has a paw-tastic time.

Alena was awesome! She had stellar communication and is a sweetheart! She did a great job with our energetic girl, sent pics, was over accommodating, and helped out last minute when in a pinch! I wouldn't hesitate to use Alena again!

Alena is fantastic with our dog Moses! Lots of care and attention when I'm away. Thanks!

I don't think I've ever known an animal lover quite like Alena. She will make your dog feel like the most special pet alive. In addition, Alena is very contentious, so your dog's safety will also be secure. I would highly recommend her to care for you dog.

I've known Alena for 23 years and can attest to her qualifications as a dog caregiver. She's warm-hearted and gentle with all animals, but particularly dogs. The family dog was her's so I watched up close as she tended to her dog, Lucky's, health, happiness, and well-being for the past 10 years. Alena is very responsible and her sense of detail and follow-through is impeccable. You can be sure that any dog she cares for will have its needs and feelings well cared for.

I like to mix it up, from parks, trails, to the neighborhood. Just as humans get bored with sameness, so do dogs! They deserve to take in new sights and smells.
