Pet care experience
Your Pet's Home Away from Home
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. In 2019, I completed pet training courses to better understand animal behavior and puppy training. I'm experienced with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, exploring local dog parks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in an environment where every pet feels like family.

Ratings and reviews
Alena was absolutely amazing with my wild, energetic pitbull! From the moment I left him in her care, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even went the extra mile by spoiling him with special treats, and it was obvious he had a great. I will definitely be booking with Alena again!
Alena is such a kind, compassionate woman who would help anyone in a time of need. She cares a lot about animals and treats pets like family. I trust her 100% to watch my dog. I know he will be in amazing hands and I won’t have a worry!
Alena did such a great job watching our paralyzed dachshund. She also took care of the other two dachshunds. She was able to come to our home on a schedule we agreed to prior to take care of them and let them out. She came to our house prior to get to know the dogs and how to take care of Frankie with him being special needs. We had a great experience working with Alena!
Alena is an incredibly responsible, kind, and loving pet caregiver. She treats every pet as if they were her own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. She truly wants every animal to feel safe, happy, and loved while in her care. I would trust Alena with my pets anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. On the two days I work in the office (Monday and Thursday), my fiancé and son are home by midday to check on our furry friends, give them attention, let them outside, and make sure they're comfortable. This means pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Our weekends are typically spent at home, giving us even more time for walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (if your pup enjoys them), and lots of love and affection. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, I have plenty of toys, cozy spaces to relax, and a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I also live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. If your dog enjoys socializing and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to take them to local dog parks for extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their regular routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and care I'd give my own.

A typical day
Every day is tailored to your pet's personality, energy level, and routine! A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks around the neighborhood, and lots of love and attention. If your dog enjoys being active, we'll spend time playing in my large fenced yard, exploring new walking routes, or visiting a local dog park (with your permission). Inside the house, your pet will have access to toys, cozy places to relax, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Whether they love a game of fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, or simply curling up next to someone for a nap, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and part of the family. I'll also provide regular updates with photos so you can see all the fun your furry family member is having while you're away. My goal is for your pet to return home happy, well cared for, and excited to come back for their next visit!

- To provide the best possible care, I'd love to learn about your pet's unique personality and routine before their stay. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, potty routine, favorite activities, energy level, and any medications or special care they may need. I'd also appreciate knowing how they interact with other dogs and people, whether they have any fears or anxieties (such as thunderstorms or fireworks), any allergies or dietary restrictions, and any behaviors I should be aware of. If they have favorite toys, sleeping habits, or commands they respond to, those details are always helpful too! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized care and ensure they have a fun, stress-free stay where they truly feel like family.
