Pet care experience

Very experienced animal lover!

I’m a very experienced dog handler. I’ve cared for small dogs to 100+ lbs dogs, including dogs with reactivity. I’m very flexible with hours on weekends and weekdays. I’m comfortable with giving any medicine or any special routines to make the animal more comfortable. I have a twinhome with a smaller fenced in yard. My neighborhood is perfect for long walks and we have multiple parks to play fetch at. I have cared for dogs for over 15 years. I have one Bully Mix (Saint) who is very spoiled. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I have a spacious area for playing inside with a lot of walking paths around the neighborhood. I am comfortable crating animals if that is part of their daily needs.

My pups gone to her a few times and he absolutely loves it. He gets along great with her dog, and is excited when we pull up to her place. I highly recommend her

Wyatt seemed to love his stay, Alena was super friendly and kept me updated consistently with photos as well. Alena’s home is well kept and she allowed me to feel comfortable before leaving her home assuring that Wyatt was acquainted with herself and her dog. She went above and beyond bringing him for walks and play time. I would highly recommend Alena to anyone else. And look forward to using her again in the future when the need arises!

We very luckily found Alena after previous pet care fell through at the last minute- she was able to dogsit our girl for a couple days while we were on a quick trip out of town. Alena was quick to reply, answered any questions we had, sent plenty of photos and updates, and overall just easy to work with! We'll be using her when we need a dog sitter in the future!

I like to know their usual routines. (Feed, play, medication, sleep, bathroom). I also would like the owner to send a leash, toy, bed/blanket and a care sheet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
