Pet care experience

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 is the best. Great photos and reports. I felt she enjoyed hanging with my kitties and playing with them. Had a wonderful first meeting with her easy to talk to.

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!
