Availability

I’ve been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs and cats and some small animals of my own as well as cared for friends and families pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. How my process works: Select the service you need and the dates to first confirm availability. If there are openings we will set up a meet and greet where I come to your house to meet you and your pet. We will go over care instructions and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. I suggest doing this closer to the dates so that your dog or cat will remember me and make our visits go smoothly for them. If boarding is needed then our meet and greet will be at my house so you can see where your dog will be staying and for my dogs to meet them to make sure everyone gets along. I require at least 1 meet and greet for boarders. If you are just looking to have a pet sitter on hand and don’t have a specific date for service then choose the date and time for a meet and greet and tell me in the message.(There is no charge for a meet and greet)

Information Elena B. would like to know about your pet

Please be up front and honest with me about any type of past aggression, that will not stop me for caring for your pet I just like to know if I need to proceed with caution. It’s important to tell me about aggression towards other animals as well. Please list any allergies and/or health conditions. Safety is my top priority.

A typical day

During our meet and greet we will go over care instructions, questions, concerns and expectations. A 30 minute visit is most common. Depending on the dog we can usually get in a .5-1 mile walk with multiple potty breaks. If no walk is needed or for cats I like to stimulate them with toys, brush them and just give them love.

Elena is a great communicator and I highly recommend her services. Her updates released my husband from worrying about his small companion. Will definitely book with her in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
