Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care for every paw!🐶🐱
I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.
Ratings and reviews
We left Elena with our two aging dogs. Bear has degenerative myelopathy - a nerve disease that leaves her with little use of her back legs. She's still a spirited dog, but demands A LOT of hands-on attention and care. it takes considerable sensitivity and patience to deal with her everyday needs. And a willingness to clean up an occasional indoor "accident" - also part of the disease. Elena did a fantastic job with both dogs - keeping them on a regular eating schedule (which is more difficult that it sounds), making sure they stayed hydrated, providing them with loving company, and giving them opportunities to get out and enjoy the day. When Bear developed an intestinal problem (not an uncommon symptom of her condition), Elena contacted us immediately, consulted with us on next steps, and then took care of everything. In less that 12 hours, all problems were resolved. I cannot say enough good things about Elena. She is sincerely passionate about taking care of dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw on. She's intelligent, grounded, and an excellent communicator. We returned to calm and content dogs - happy to see us, but I think a little disappointed that Elena was leaving. (I should also mention that Elena took excellent care of the house and our plants.). Elena is the best. Truly.
This was our first time and was certainly happy with the experience.
Our dog Lola stayed with Elena B for overnight boarding and settled right in like she was with familiar friends! we received lots of pictures of all the fun she was having and love and care she was receiving. Elena took Lola on two walks, even though she spent a single night there. Elena was also a great communicator before and during Lola's stay. We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need boarding services while we're in town visiting family. Highly recommended!
Elena was there for us in a last minute pinch. It was my dogs’ first time with her, but they seemed to warm up right away. I would definitely book with her again.
Elena did a great job house sitting for us and caring for our two dogs and cat. She took the dogs on nice long walks, kept us updated with great communication throughout the stay, and sent photos which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a house that was left in great shape. We would definitely recommend Elena and would be happy to have her stay with our pets again!
Elena did a great job take care of our dogs. She was an extraordinary communicator and kept us updated at all times. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!

Schedule
I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-12pm or 4-9pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play.
