Pet care experience

Calm, Loving Pet Care

Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started dog walking as my very first job, and throughout high school and college I spent my time volunteering at my local humane society, something that truly shaped my love and understanding of animals. Today, I work full-time as a mental health therapist, which has only deepened my patience, compassion, and attentiveness, qualities I bring into every pet I care for. I know firsthand how much our pets are family. I have years of experience with dog walking and pet sitting dating back to when I was just 6 years old, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m someone who will treat your pet with the same care, love, and attention I would my own. I truly have a big heart for animals and so much love to give, I can’t wait to meet your furry family member.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m available to drive and come whenever your pet needs a walk or sitting. I’m reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I always honor your space, follow your instructions, and leave everything exactly as I found it, so you can trust both your home and your pet are in good hands.

Elena is the best! She’s always clean and tidy, super reliable, and we really appreciate the updates she sends. We love having her around—and so does Sully! Couldn’t ask for a better fit.

Elena is always such a joy to have come & walk my 2 pups! They hadn’t seen her in a few months & they were SO excited to have her come back to walk them! She is kind, attentive to detail & very communicative! Highly recommend

Elena took great care of Derby in my home the week I was away. It is clear she has a great way with dogs and she was a wonderful guest. A week is a long time to be away and she kept me updated with texts and pictures throughout the week. I would highly recommend Elena and hope she's available next time I need a pet sitter :) Thanks, Elena!

I work full-time as a therapist, but my pets have always been the center of my life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel loved, safe, and cared for, and I bring that same dedication to every animal I watch. Your furry family member will never feel alone when I’m around they’ll have companionship, care, and plenty of love.
