Caring pet sitter in Bergen County!
Pet care experience
Hello, My Name is Elena and I am 27 years. I am a veterinary/behavior technician and have obtained about 15 years of experience under my belt with both dogs, cats and exotic animals as well. Furthermore, I have volunteered countless hours in no kill animal shelters and have worked as a kennel attendant assisting boarded dogs. I’m a very outgoing individual and have an active lifestyle. I'm a huge fan of being outdoors and love to keep moving! Walking, even running with your dog would not be an issue for me. I have years of experience with pets as young as 8 weeks and as old as 18 years. I can perform baths/light grooming if needed and administer medication as well. Overall, with my responsible and compassionate personality, I know that I could make a wonderful sitter for your family companion! Feel free to reach out an we can discuss more on how I can accommodate your needs!
Reviews
Elena is a rock star!!! I went on a very long trip (9 nights!!!) and she put me at ease with taking care of my cat Nibbles who has major separation anxiety. She was so great with nibbles, we’re so happy to have had her. Thank you for everything Elena!!
Elena visited my dog while I was away over the weekend and did an awesome job! She understood that my puppy has a lot of energy and played with her outside to get some of her energy out. She even made sure that my cats food bowl was full of food, as they love to eat!
Elena is awesome with my two dogs. Toby is a bigget dog and can be extremely stubborn sometimes. It makes it difficult my my mother to watch him when I am out of town, but Elena doesn't have any problems with him.

Although I can't offer services at my residence, If I stay at your home with your furry friend you will get lots of updates (including photos and videos) and I will make sure they are cared for just like they would be if their family was home!
Information Elena D. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet require any medication? How are they with strangers? Are they reactive? Do they have any allergies to treats or food? Do they take any medication regularly? What are their favorite activities? Do they have any favorite treats or toys? Is there anything that makes them anxious? Where do they like to sleep? Do they walk on a harness, collar or Head Halti?
A typical day
Long walks, play time, brushing if needed and lots of belly rubs! Make sure that they are being mentally stimulated with foraging tools likes kongs or snuffle mats. Make sure they are eating and drinking enough during the visit. Monitoring them to make sure they don't get into anything they aren't supposed to. Give them the attention they want and make them feel at peace when their humans have departed!
