Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Sitter | Flexible

I have been caring for pets since childhood and have years of hands-on experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m very active and love hiking, and I would love to specialize in taking dogs on outdoor adventures and hikes for exercise and enrichment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, physical activity, and affection while following any specific routines or instructions provided. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in reliable, loving hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every aspect of my pet care. I live in a house in a quiet, nice neighborhood in Kailua with a spacious yard, providing a secure and comfortable environment for pets to relax and play. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, instructions, and any special needs to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of pets’ safety both at home and during walks or outings. My goal is to build trust not only with pets, but also with their owners, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in a safe, loving, and well-cared-for environment.

Ela was a great sitter for our boys! She was on time and went above and beyond in their care. We will definitely be reaching out to her again whenever we leave town! Definitely recommend.

Ela is an outstanding pet caregiver with a deep-rooted respect for animals and the natural world. She lives an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoys taking pets on hikes and outdoor adventures, giving them both physical exercise and mental stimulation in safe, enriching environments. Animals thrive in her care because she understands their needs beyond the basics — movement, routine, patience, and trust. As a beekeeper, Ela has developed a heightened awareness of animal behavior, environmental balance, and the importance of gentle, intentional care. This experience reflects her broader philosophy toward all living beings: respect, responsibility, and coexistence. She is attentive, dependable, and deeply intuitive with animals, creating an environment where pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. Any pet in Ela’s care is truly in excellent hands.
