Safety, trust & environment

I make sure every animal is well cared for. I have lots of patience for animals and will do whatever is necessary to make sure they eat and go potty. It's important to me that the animals are comfortable with myself, so I will spend extra time with them in order to get them to that point.

Information Elena F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to pay extra attention to. I am most familiar with small dog breeds, and I have a very low-key dachshund, so I'm used to not having to worry about high energy or getting into mischief. It's especially important for me to know behaviors like that, since I'm not used to looking out for those things in my own home.

A typical day

I treat every dog I encounter as my own. It is so important, especially when their owners are away to shower them with love and delicious goodies. I will provide your babies with endless amounts of tummy rubs, sweet talk, and playtime. I love to give dogs enrichment time. Teaching them tricks, giving them fun ways to eat their food, and giving them adequate sniff time during walks are all things I enjoy doing as well.

I'm eager to love on every animal!

Pet care experience

I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. We've had cats, a dog, and several guinea pigs so I am familiar with their behaviors. I've been pet sitting through Rover now for almost 3 years. I’ve volunteered at anderson animal shelter with the cats and a few years ago I volunteered in the wildlife department there and learned to feed baby birds. I have incubated three different litters of abandoned duck eggs and raised them for about a week before giving them to the shelter to live a proper duck life.

Elena was fantastic caring for my hybrid savannah cat while I was away. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional pet lover. Elena communicates effectively too, which isn’t a common characteristic. I was very comfortable having her visit my cat at our home. And I could tell my cat really enjoyed her company.

Elena was patient and kind. She took good care of our Dog and Cat while we were away. She was easy to contact and kept us updated. We will definitely use her again !

Elena was fantastic! Elena watched our two pets (Guinea Pigs) while we were out of town. Both pets are recent rescues and they both warmed up to Elena right away. We are very pleased. Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.
