As someone who loves animals, dog care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely during the week, which allows me to provide doggie daycare and boarding services. I typically take care of a maximum of two dog guests at any given time to ensure your pup gets the love and attention they deserve. On weekends, I prioritize spending quality time with the dogs in my care, including walks, dog park trips, playtime, and cuddles. I also adapt my routine to the needs of each dog, providing more exercise for high-energy dogs and more relaxation time for older pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, fun, and loving environment for pets in my own home, which includes a spacious fenced in backyard for outdoor play and a buddy—my dog Zoe is a 4-year-old rescue who is up for anything or nothing, so she tends to be a respectful and fun companion for a wide range of dogs and puppies. Zoe has completed basic, intermediate, and advanced Obedience Classes with Dogs Best Friend Training, a positive training system. I also have an extra large crate available for guests to use, if needed. Zoe is a power chewer and will happily share her many toys and dog beds. I work closely with pet owners to ensure their pets receive the best care possible. For example, I provide a variety of services such as feeding, walking, playing, reinforcing training, and providing medication, if needed. I also make special accommodations for pets with special needs, such as providing a quiet space for pets who are anxious.

Information Elena A. would like to know about your pet
To ensure the best possible care, I gather specific information on the dog's dietary needs, medication, exercise needs, training and behavior, socialization and interaction, and health. For example, I tailor my feeding schedule to each pet's dietary needs, adjust my exercise routine based on each pet's health and energy level, and provide extra socialization for dogs who are shy. I also make sure to keep pet owners informed of any changes in their pet's behavior or health. This helps me provide the best care for each pet and ensure their health and well-being.
A typical day
I believe in providing fun and engaging activities, including dog park visits, walks, playtime, snuffle mats, fetch in our fenced-in backyard, and plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. For example, I use specific games or toys to keep pets engaged, and I customize my walks to each dog’s personality and energy level. I adjust my activities based on the weather or other factors, such as taking dogs to a dog park any day that’s not super muddy. I enjoy going on walks, and I have fun bringing Zoe and a friend along!

Pet care experience
I am a dog lover and have a lot of experience and passion for dog care. I aim to genuinely understand the personalities and needs of pups. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide dog care services during the week, and I prioritize building strong relationships with pet owners based on trust and communication. For example, I have built strong relationships with pet owners in the past by providing regular updates and cute photos, as well as being open and responsive to their needs and concerns.
Reviews
We are repeat customers. Elena took great care of our Irish Setter, who loved to stay with her. Elena also is excellent in communicating and providing updates. Simply the best!
Elena is great! We've stayed with her a couple times and she's always so sweet with Lacey and sends excellent photos and updates!
Elena is such a wonderful dog sitter! She was very thorough in understanding Garrus as a dog and what his needs are. She asked a lot of really great questions that showed she was looking to provide him the best possible experience. She was very easy to schedule and work with. She provided a lot of updates and pictures. In every picture Garrus looked like he was having the best time! Garrus is always excited to visit as there always seem to be lots of puppy friends to hang out with and comes home a happy, tired puppy. We are so thankful and appreciative of Elena!
Elena is a fantastic dogsitter---great communication and lots of engaging activities with our borderdoodle. Highly recommended!
