Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy You! 🐶🐱

Hi, I’m Alena! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I grew up in a home filled with pets, including dogs, cats, and even chickens! Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours volunteering at animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Now, as a proud pet parent to two dogs and one cat, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your furry family members. Whether your pup needs a walk to get some energy out or a quick check-in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention! Services I Offer 🐾 Dog Walking – Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or an energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 Drop-In Visits – Need someone to check in on your pet while you’re at work or out for the day? I’ll provide food, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs. Why Choose Me? ✔️ Years of experience with dogs and cats ✔️ Shelter volunteer & lifelong pet owner ✔️ Personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs ✔️ Reliable, communicative, and attentive I’d love to meet your pup and help take care of them while you’re away! Feel free to reach out with any questions. 🐶

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and ensure they get plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise. I also respect their space—whether they love belly rubs or prefer quiet companionship. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean and engage them with their favorite toys if they enjoy playtime.

Alena was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Our cat immediately liked her and we felt our girl was safe with Alena! 10/10 would book again and again.

Alena did a wonderful job all around walking and feeding my two pups while I was away overnight. She was kind, dependable, and responsive, sending me many adorable pictures from the walks. I could relax being away knowing my babies were in great hands. Look forward to having her her watch them again!

Alena was amazing! Our shy cat is normally stressed when we get home from a trip, but he was incredibly calm after having Alena as our sitter. She was very responsive and took great care of him.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a pet owner myself, I’m already spending time walking, feeding, and playing with my own two dogs and cat. Adding pet care into my routine is seamless—I enjoy morning and evening walks, drop-in visits throughout the day, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a midday walk or an evening check-in, I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to keep them comfortable and happy!
