Information Elena D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, allergies, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. I’m comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and friendly large breeds. The more details you share, the better I can provide safe and personalized care.

A typical day

Every day depends on the dog’s personality, age, and energy level. I like to keep pets both physically and mentally active with regular walks, playtime, and simple games. We’ll explore the neighborhood, enjoy new smells, and, if appropriate, visit a nearby park. I always adjust the routine so each pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy.

Reliable & Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I recently moved to the United States from another country and am currently studying English. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had both dogs and cats and truly understand how much they mean to their families. Back home, I have a senior Yorkshire Terrier who is 17 years old and still in good shape and decent health for her age. Caring for her has given me a lot of experience with senior dogs, patience, and gentle attention. I know how important routine, comfort, and love are. Being away from my own dog makes caring for other pets even more special to me. I treat every animal as if they were my own.

I'm so grateful I found Elena to board my dog Toby. She is very friendly and accommodating. She is quick to respond and sent me updates to reassure me that they were enjoying each others company. I appreciated the pictures I received throughout his stay. I could tell that Toby had a great time because he slept so soundly when we got home. I'll definitely use her services again. Thank you Elena!
