I’m a dog-gone good time!
Pet care experience
I grew up in a house with lots of dogs, and have needed to be surrounded by them ever since! I worked at Dogma Dog Bakery in Shirlington as my first job when I was 16 years old, and learned a lot about dog care through that job. I love helping friends and family with their dogs, and taking my own dog on long walks everyday. I’ve dealt with many different personalities of dogs and have a wide range of experience!
Reviews
Elena was absolutely incredible! I know my dog was in excellent hands during the holiday. Wish she lived locally throughout the year, I’d absolutely use her services again.
Elena is amazing with our dog, a 75 lb English Lab! She showers him with love and attention. She reads his body language well knowing when he wants a belly rub or, chase the ball, or just needs to go out. Elena is also responsible with medications and feeding schedule when we were out of town for a longer trip. She texted me photos and updates so I knew he was doing ok. I highly recommend Elena if you need help getting your dog out for a walk, or extra play time!
I have known Elena her entire life and she's been surrounded by dogs all that time and is great with them! She's had her own dogs from the age of 8 onward and is an excellent care-giver and nurturer. She will love your pets as she loves her own.

Safety, trust & environment
Every dog is different, and it’s important to understand every dog’s individual needs and wants. I’ve had very needy dogs in my past, who need lots of care and attention. From special medications, to specific walking routes, I’ve handled lots of situations with different dogs.
Information Elena A. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how your dog interacts with other people/dogs or if they have anything that triggers them. In addition, if your dog knows any specific commands that helps get their focus!
A typical day
I love to go on hikes, and also enjoy water activities! In my neighborhood, I like taking my dog down to the four mile run trail or if we’re feeling more adventurous I’ll take her to the dog friendly section of the Billy Goat trail.
