Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own!
Reviews
Alena is incredibly loving, responsible, and attentive with every pet she cares for. I’ve seen firsthand how much joy and comfort she brings to animals. She truly treats them like family.
Alena watched my cats for an entire week while I was out of the country a few months ago! My cats felt safe and secure with her, and she gave them lots of attention and love. She sent me videos and pictures as well as daily updates to let me know how they were doing. She made sure the list of responsibilities were completed and my cats were taken care of! Chowder and Mars love her!
Alena is such a pet person! There’s no one better to take care of your fur babies - she’ll love them like her own! You can count on her for any of your pet needs. 100/10 would always choose to leave my big puppy with her every time!

Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
Information Alena M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any medical conditions, allergies, mobility issues, or behavioral quirks I should be aware of! I have experience with senior dogs, blind pets, and dogs with neurological conditions, so I’m comfortable adapting care to meet their unique needs. Whether it’s medication timing, a preferred walking pace, or a fear of loud noises—every detail helps me make your pet feel safe and happy.
A typical day
Whether it’s a game of fetch in the backyard or a relaxing stroll through the park, I love keeping pets happy and engaged! I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality—some love to sniff every tree, others just want to play or lounge in the sun. I’m always up for tug-of-war, squeaky toys, or simply giving belly rubs and scratches behind the ears. My goal is to make every visit feel like a mini adventure or a cozy hangout—whatever your pup loves most!

Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own.
