Pet care experience

WALKS, BELLY RUBS & HAPPY PETS!

I offer personalized care for your fur-babies. I have a passion for pets and will truly care for and love them as if they were my own. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have 15+ years of experience, including sitting for puppies and senior pets, and can provide excellent references. I am available for sitting, walking, drop in visits, doggy day care. I usually care for one pet at a time, unless you and your pup are OK with my sitting another at the same time. I'd prefer watching your dog/cat in the comfort of your home, but can also sit for them in my pet friendly apartment. I've cared for a dog and cat for a month and for two dogs for two weeks in the owners home and have been told I've left their home cleaner than when they left. I'm available in/near Bay Ridge Brooklyn (Bensonhurst, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge, Williamsburg Brooklyn and other areas) Thank you for considering me. I look forward to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet.😊🐾🐈🐶

Elena takes great care of Mason and always keeps us updated with photos. He is always happy and well cared for in her hands. We are grateful for her and highly recommend her!

Elena took care of our 7 month old Mini Golden Doodle for a week. While we were nervous to leave our pup for the first time, Elena put us at easy with her daily updates on our pooch. Pictures were sent and our Beady appeared happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would trust Elena to watch our Beady again.

Elena was wonderful with our dog Bento! She kept us updated, sent pictures, and Bento seems to like her a lot. We would use her again and recommend her.

I would recommend Elena to anyone looking for a sitter. She’s very nice and was great with Benji. She sent me pics, updates and played fetch with Benji. He came back to us happy. Thank you so much Elena.

Elena was very sweet and helped us out somewhat last minute. She sent pics and updates, all went well even without a prior meet n greet. Thank you Elena!

Safety, trust & environment

I listen closely to your needs and how you care for your dog/cat and follow suit. If I care for them in my home, I make sure they feel as comfortable as they are in yours. I also have many dog parks in my neighborhood and can take them on walks, etc.

A typical day

I will walk dogs and, if they’re willing & able, engage them in activities including fetch, tug of war and play with other toys. I will also take them to dog parks if you would like.
