I will walk & run dogs of any size!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alena and I am a Senior at the University of Michigan, who has always had a love for dogs. My family has had three Great Danes, so I am used to a big, slobbery, sweet dogs. At the age of twelve, I started walking my neighbors' dogs (in Valparaiso, Indiana). In the past eight years, my dog "business" has grown, and I have taken care of over thirty different dogs--ranging from dachshunds to mastiffs. My business ranged from daily walks to house sitting with dogs. Each of my dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I can identify each dog by his or her bark. I also ran at the University of Michigan last year, so I love running with energetic dogs. I work my schedule to fit any dog's needs, and I love getting to meet and care for new pets! I am a full-time student, so my schedule changes daily. I do have my own car, so I can drive to different places. I miss my dog dearly, so I would love to get to know your pets!

So many good things to say about Alena: Super nice, caring, timely, very responsible. In the face of a family emergency, she found help for us. In brief, she exceeded any expectations. We will definitely call her again, and so should you. My puppy is missing her for sure.

Alena was amazing! She came for a meet and greet even though I had booked her for a walk just two days ahead of time. She asked all the important questions and it definitely shows that she is very comfortable around dogs. She even fed him before his walk like I needed even though that wasn't part of the original plan. I would highly recommend working with her!

Alena is very sweet and attentive. She treated our Beagle mix incredibly well and kept us updated regarding her visits. We are new dog owners who are still learning about our furry friend and she really put our mind at ease!
