Pet care experience

Excited to meet your furballs❤️

I was born into a family with all kinds of pets including cats and dogs. Because of this, I have extensive experience fulfilling all of a pet's needs at any stage of their life, from assisting in delivering and raising a litter of puppies to carrying old dogs up the stairs when it's time for bed. I regularly pet sit for a number of families, including ones with both dogs and cats.

Alena was outstanding. Walked our lab for the full 30 minutes in 10°weather. Will definitely use often.

Alena is very personable, responsible and flexible. She came to walk Bentley while I was at work and did a great job! If I had to pick a prototype of an ideal pet sitter, it would be her.

Alena did a great job watching my elderly cat. Would definitely have her watch him again!

Alena v. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work both weekdays and weekends. Generally, I am available from 8:00am to 9:30pm for walks and drop ins. If spending the night, I can work as early or late as you would like.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

In order to reduce your pet's stress, I try to maintain a schedule similar to what they are used to. If they want my active attention, whether it be belly rubs or playtime, I will happily oblige. If they are shy or uncomfortable, I'm careful to give them some space and time to warm up to me.

Pets

A typical day

I'll take them on long walks, making sure they get plenty of time to sniff around. While at the house I'll either play games or sit with them so they have plenty of company and social stimulation.

In order to ensure I give them the best care, I'd like to know of anything they particularly do or don't like, such as games they love, or human behaviors they're negatively reactive to (for example, a strong sensitivity to people standing up too quickly). Also, please share if they have any special needs that require additional attention and care.
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.
