Will love your pet just like you do

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking out my page! My sweet, chubby, adult Calico and senior Dalmatian that I grew up with as siblings (only child) sprouted my love for animals, and they are both living with my parents as I attend VCU. My love for animals furthered when I volunteered at my local animal shelter in Arlington, VA, in which I worked hands on with all pets. Shy, previously abused, or barely tamable- you name it! I loved a challenge. When I was confident with my ability to work with animals and became certified in training, I began pet sitting for my neighbors. I started off feeding and walking pets while families were out of town, and expanded to being a regular, scheduled petsitter and housesitter, sleeping in family's homes to keep their pets company and do tasks like bring in the mail or water plants. You could also text me that you need an emergency dog walk and I’d be at the house within 5 minutes! I have reliable transportation, respond quickly, and do not smoke. My wide availability, experience, and natural love for animals makes me a great choice for you. I have the same passion for your pets and care for your home as you do!

Charlie had a fun time with Elena. She understood Charlie's fear of thunder and was able to handle it well. Her location is great since I work downtown. Highly recommend.

Information Elena D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know through messages everything your dog likes, dislikes, and any specific instructions. My favorite dog breeds are pit bulls, english bull dogs, and chocolate labs, but I'm looking forward to spending time with more breeds!

A typical day

I'm in a great part of the city- so on walks your dog will be consistently engaged. My apartment is spacious and thunderstorms can't be heard from the inside. Dogs are free to snuggle up wherever they want here. I can give them a bath here, as well. Let me know what your dog loves to do and I'll go above and beyond to make sure their day is full of what they love. Once we get to know each other, we'll create an amazing bond!
