Full-time care and love
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved dogs and cats for their spirit and giving attitude. No matter what, dogs are always there for you and couldn’t be happier to see you! I love that every cat has a unique personality and way of showing companionship. All this above inspired me to become a dog/cat sitter in the first place. I want to contribute in the idea of making every pet in the world happier and loved! I love spending time with them, but I also love that I can give owners peace of mind when they’re in need of quality care for their pets. It really is a dream come true! One of the best things about me as a sitter is that my schedule is wide open to take care of your baby. I know that no one prefers to have their felines and canines locked in an apartment for hours/days, so it’s great that I can keep them right alongside me having fun. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet on video chat or in person. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup or cat and your care expectations. Finally, I just love meeting new cats and dogs and I make them my real friends! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I am happy to take care of your pet family!
Reviews
Elena was wonderful! She was so patient with my anxious cat, put her at ease, and by her second visit my cat was coming right up to her and smelling her feet (one of my cat’s favorite hobbies). Elena was also super communicative and let me know if there were any issues or questions she had about my cat’s care. Would definitely book with Elena again!
Elena was a great cat sitter! She ensured my Suzie was fed and taken care of and sent multiple photos and videos of her drop ins. Would definitely recommend!
Returned to a happy pup. Elena took great care of our old little guy. Easy to work with. Great communication. Definitely recommend.
Elena did a wonderful job with our dog Todd and we look forward to working with her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a pet camera, so if I have to step out I can watch the fur guest in my apartment. Also, I have a crate for small dog and can use it on a Client’s demand if the dog is crate-trained only, so the client doesn’t have to bring their own crate. Plus my apartment is insured. The building is pet friendly.

Information Elena D. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before booking me? Not mandatory for me but at least I suggest to do a video call to show me the routine and let me introduce myself. What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your dog/cat have any health issues that need to be taken care of? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Do you have your credit card on file? Is your dog/cat spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? Or the routine schedule is more flexible? What does your dog/cat like to do? What does your cat/dog try to avoid? If it’s housesitting at your place, do you have Pet camera or regular cameras so I’m aware to be sure I am decent if I stay overnight.
A typical day
I live in Upper Manhattan next to many parks. If you prefer, I can take your dog to the dog park. I love to hang out and make new furry friends, so we’ll definitely stay out as often as we can especially in a warm weather. I will make sure that your baby is happy staying with me!

My other job is mobile and remote notary public. So I work from home a lot. Therefore my schedule is flexible and I can fit many fur babies in my schedule during the day. Since I work from home, I appreciate every opportunity to take a walk to the park with a fur friend. In the summer, we spend a lot of time outside.
