Caring for your pet your way.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, give love and attention to their pets for years. I will do my upmost to care for them just as you would. If you have pets that need training I will stick with it while they are in my care. I can can for senior pets with special needs, animals with disabilities and I respect special diets.

Great job caring for my little guy. Short notice was no problem for them. Will see them again soon. Recommended.

Alena has been a friend for a very long time. I watched her raise rabbits and show them all over Texas. She took care of them and their area. I also know she has a deep love for animals. From her own animals and the care she takes of them including how she researched her breeds and learned what was best for each. I have seen her go to shelters to help animals and give them a good home. She would definitely make a very good dog sitter I feel.

Alena has pet sit for our dog several times. She takes the utmost care of Shippie our German Shepherd who loves her. We always have peace of mind when Alena is taking care of her, we know she is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own animals living with me, 3 dogs and 3 cats along with some reptiles. I have a 1600sq ft home with a fenced in backyard. The backyard has grass and is right next to a park for nice walks. Caring for pets in my home require neutral ground visits first as I require that all animals get along first. This means dogs all must meet each other individually before they come to stay with us. If all animals get along then they have free roam and are supervised during. If I must leave animals with be put away in either their kennels/cages or in rooms to make sure everyone is safe from any accidents. For drop in visits animals will be taking care of based on the clients specifications. If I am staying in your home I will be caring for your animals based on your needs and giving them the same attention my animals would get.

Information Alena M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs personality, needs and quirks before meet ups. I will need to know if your dog requires specific diets, needs, medications or attention. Please let me know during our meet up if your dog has any problems with household items or other people, pets and things. (Are they scared of vacuums, Do they not like passing strangers on their walks, men in hats?)

A typical day

I love to relax with your pets after a long walk around the park next door. We like to play outdoors in my yard with my other dogs. We also love going on river hikes if permitted! I have tons of indoor toys for the pets to play with and with my pets there will never be a dull moment until everyone is passed out on a couch.
