Pet care experience
No matter the occasion, whether planned out months in advance or a day before— I am here to bring you (and your lovely furry companion/s) peace of mind. I have all the time in the world as I make my own schedule and work when I want! **I am now accepting new clients! I’d be happy to discuss dates and times that suit both of our schedules.** The majority of my clientele are based in the Ballard/Fremont area, hence my geotag location. I travel daily to Seattle and often times stay in said area, however I currently live in a house in Kent. It has a very spacious front yard with a fenced backyard. We live in a family friendly cul de sac and a safe surrounding neighborhood. I take everyone’s health and well-being seriously. I am FULLY VAXXED and will wear a mask upon first meeting upon request. I always keep hand sanitizer with me and in just about every crevice of my car. Clorox wipes and sanitizer spray? No shortage here! Your honorary furry family member(s) will never be alone. Sometimes I will need to run a few errands or go and see another client, but rest assured, either my Father, sister or partner will be there in my absence. As stated before, we have a very spacious front and back yard and a plethora of treats in almost every cabinet 🦴 🐶 I've grown up with dogs (and cats) all of my life, so I am no stranger to them. I've owned pups as small as chihuahuas up to big pups like Great Danes. I've got a my own house 🏡 (as mentioned previously), so there's no problem hosting. I've got my own car 🚗 so there's no doubt I'll be able to be on time to meet and take your dog out for an adventure. I've got plenty of time to care and tend to your sweetheart! Naturally, open and honest communication is #1, making sure I can provide my services to the best of my ability. I love to be out and about when the weather permits, but I also love kicking it back at home; something I'm sure your furry friend loves too. Trust is something I always strive to have with you and your furry companion. I don’t just see this as a quick way to make money, I genuinely do love animals and want to provide the best! I may be smaller in stature, but I do lay a basis of respect and present myself as a respectable human! Should there be any bad habits (excessive barking, over-hyperactivity, pulling on leash, etc), I do my best to help correct those with all clients. I have found success in doing such, though it does take time! To implement good behavior and reward it accordingly is always the goal 😇
Reviews
Elena and Darion took care of our dog Annabelle and our niece puppies Latke and Brisket who have separation anxiety and take time to warm up to new people. They were so kind and built trust with both pups. Elena and Darion are our absolute favorites! 💗
Elena is consistently our and Annabelle’s favorite to stay with her when we’re gone. She and Darion are so thoughtful and attentive. Annabelle is almost 16 years old and has a number of old dog issues that they handle with such great care and keep our worries at bay. Elena is one of the best sitters we’ve had over the many years with AB. 💗🥰
💗 just look at Elena’s pictures with Annabelle and her friends she meets with Elena. You’ll know your pup will have a best friend and the best time!
Elena is the absolute best every time a million times over! She loves AB! 💗

Safety, trust & environment
On the topic of trust, I also have extensive care background for elderly dogs, visually impaired, physically disabled and even “aggressive” breeds such as pit bulls, Rottweilers etc. There really is no regimen too strenuous or difficult for me to follow— whether that be your pup having to take time-sensitive medications or certain physical activities, whatever it may be— I haven’t had any issues following such procedures. I also do offer other housework services such as watering plants, checking the mail, taking in/out garbage/recycle/compost bins and of course cleaning up after myself. I have even had a client ask to pick up packages at the post office for them multiple times! My relationships with my clients and their furry family members are very important to me and any way that I can accommodate and build trust— I will do it. I know leaving your fur babies can hard, so I also always send at least 5 photos of your lovely furry family member with at least one “pUpdate” for every single service I provide. As you may have noticed from my nearly 200+ photos (of my repeat clients +me) on my Rover account… I love taking photos. To be fair, I think I do a pretty good job encapsulating the cuteness of my former and current clients 🐾

Information Elena A. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know is how well the dog get along with others -other pups and humans- and if they are “house-broken” and potty trained. Any special medications or dietary restrictions are very important to me as well and take such measures seriously. I do not have any breed preferences, although I will say it may be a challenge for me to tend to a "giant" breed as they are more often than not larger than me... but I will never turn a dog away that is willing to work with me! I look forward to hearing from you!
A typical day
I like to personalize fun time around the pup! Should they be more reserved, we can play fetch or spend time just the two of us. A pup with high energy? Awesome, let’s go for a 3-mile jog or burn some energy going out to the dog park and make new friends! I’m a very active individual, although I enjoy my relaxing time; I tend to match the pup’s energy!

Availability
I work around the schedule of my clients. I will usually not bring more than one client into my home at a time from different households but it is very dependent on the situation. I work when I want so I am generally quite flexible when it comes to scheduling. I love to play fetch with my pups and allow them to explore the area, whether that be at my humble abode or out and about. I take my clients out for exercise every couple hours or go to a park for some fun! If late night walks are requested, I always carry a headlamp, my phone and a form of protection. I also have a background in martial arts so there will be no problems there :’)
