I'm currently unemployed because I recently graduated high school. My daily schedule is completely free. I just need notice of the time and day in advance, at least 1-2 days prior, as I like to plan out my day and make sure I can arrive on time to care for your pets.

About Elena B.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I am at my home or others' homes, I do my absolute best to follow any instructions provided by the owner, whether it's medication needed for their dog, their food schedule, crate necessity, or simply commands they follow. I follow any strict rules and boundaries you may have so that both you and your dog feel safe and comfortable. Although my home doesn't have a backyard, there are lots of parks within walking distance. In addition, I love walking and being outdoors just like your fur babies. Whether a dog needs more activity and play or simply love and cuddles, I'm here for them! During the summer especially I carry water and a bowl with me to keep your baby cool, as well as treats only if allowed by the owner, of course! Additionally communication and updates are super important to me, I'll always send updates, photos and any concerns I may have about your pets!

Information Elena B. would like to know about your pet

Always be sure to let me know about any needs your dog has, whether it's for medication, health reasons, or simply because they're a little pampered. All of those are completely valid!! Please let me know about any strict diets they follow, whether they're not allowed to eat certain ingredients due to allergies, skin problems, or anything else, just in case any treats contain those ingredients. Also, if they have any other needs or accommodations, I'd be more than happy to accommodate anything for them. My goal is to make both you and your fur baby feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

A typical day

I love going on walks, runs, and especially playing fetch! I’m a very active person myself, but I will always adjust to each dog’s individual needs, whether they are super energetic or a little calmer and older. I’m happy to give them treats, play with them, and make sure they get the attention and activity that is right for them.

Pet lover my whole life, my passion

Pet care experience

My whole life, I looked after my dog until we sadly had to put her down. She was very active even when she got older, she loved walks, treats and lots of cuddles. I truly believe dogs are mans best friends. I'm extremely active and love playing with dogs and running around. They're so incredibly pure and sweet. I have a little more experience with senior dogs, as I was a little older when my dog herself became a senior, but I still have experience with jumpy puppies as well, as I've made many friends over the years with puppies as well as senior dogs.

Elena is a great carer of pets. She took care of my dog for an extended period of time while I was away and was a big relief!

Elena is a wonderful person, kind and attentive with dogs. She took care my dog, Peter, for a week while I was on vacation and took excellent care of him. She cleaned him, played with him, and kept him on schedule with his food and medication. She was great at updating me with photos and messages on how he was doing. She is an excellent caregiver. Highly reliable.

Elena is one of the most caring and compassionate people I know. She has a natural connection with animals and always treats them with patience, love, and respect. She has rescued and cared for animals before, and her empathy and sense of responsibility make her someone I would completely trust to look after any pet. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely wants every animal to feel safe and loved.

Elena is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She loves playing, walking and feeding dogs. She’s attentive to any needs the dog might have and at the same time loves playing and entertaining them.
