Your Pets Get My Full Heart

What sets me apart? Well, for starters, I’ve spent 15 years surrounded by cats and dogs, so at this point I’m basically fluent in “meow,” “woof,” and “treat‑now‑please.” I have a super flexible daily schedule, which means I can work around your pet’s routine—not the other way around. As a cat parent to four furry supervisors, I’m totally comfortable with litter boxes, medications, picky eaters, shy personalities, and pets who require a little extra patience or senior care. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, quiet company, or someone who understands their quirks, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My goal is simple: you relax, knowing your pet is getting the same care and affection I give my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets—whether in your home or out on a walk—my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping your pet’s routine exactly how you like it. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own (and with four cats at home, I’ve had plenty of practice being lovingly bossed around). For dog walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and follow your dog’s pace and preferences. No risky encounters, no off‑leash surprises—just safe, happy walks. For kitty care, I keep things calm, clean, and predictable. I’m comfortable giving medications, deep‑cleaning litter boxes, and making sure your cat has fresh water, a tidy space, and whatever level of attention they prefer—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply being admired from across the room. My goal is simple: you should feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for exactly the way you would do it.

Alena was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well cared for. She sent thorough updates when checking in that put our minds at ease. I absolutely recommend Alena to anyone!

Alena is amazing! She’s taken our new pup on several walks now. Alena is very communicative, prompt, and provides great updates about their walk. She has really thoughtful attention to detail. So glad we found Alena! I know our Chloe loves her visits too 🐶

This was our first week booking dog walks with Alena. She was prompt, provided check ins and photos during the walk which was reassuring. Very communicative. We have a new puppy (about 6 months old) who is still learning to leash walk, and Alena seemed to do great with her! She also spent time in our backyard with our older dog and pup so they both had play time. Very pleased with Alena’s follow through and care and attentiveness!

Alena did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and cat while I was away. She was incredibly attentive to their needs, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and sticking to their routines. I especially appreciated the effort she put into crate training—she handled it patiently and consistently, which made a noticeable difference. Beyond the basics, Alena spent quality time playing with them and giving them the attention they needed, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.

I have two older dogs who truly mean everything to me, so finding someone I trust is incredibly important. Alena has been amazing with them she’s reliable, always on time, and makes sure they get safe, comfortable walks tailored to their pace. She’s very responsible, follows instructions carefully, and communicates clearly, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about their well-being. I would highly recommend Alena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!
