Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated animal welfare worker!
Hello! I am a dedicated and reliable sitter with 7 years of professional animal welfare experience. I've had my own animal companions for over a decade, but entered the veterinary field in 2017. I worked at the San Francisco SPCA animal shelter hospital providing treatments and working on the behavior team. Shy, reactive, fearful animals all deserve love and care, and I am thrilled to connect with each one. I have also lead an animal welfare program for a CA-based nonprofit for three years, and focus on the wellbeing of our four-legged friends in every situation. I love to hike and swim in our beautiful South Lake Tahoe, and can't wait to share this joy with your beloved family member!

Ratings and reviews
Alena is a fantastic sitter. She spent quality time with our cats, sending pictures and a comprehensive visit summary each day, giving me peace of mind. I had no worries about my fur babies while I was gone. I highly recommend her!
So appreciated Alena's great pictures and updates while watching our two labs - great communication! One of our labs had just had TPLO (knee surgery). Alena showed so much care and attention during their stay and even questioned the incision healing complete with pictures (we had already been aware, discussed with the vet, and had a vet appt scheduled but had not communicated that to her). We will definitely use her again.
Super experienced and it shows! Seems to be a definite pet lover at heart. I loved getting to see the pictures of Aurora’s adventures during her walks. Overall I would 100% recommend Alena to anyone!
She was super great, friendly and professional! She even got out our shy cat to come out and snuggle :)
Alena was great! Super reponsive and attentive!
Alena was amazing with Falkor and the cats! She sent regular updates and videos. Highly recommend her if your looking for trustworthy and great with animals.
