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 pets sat for a couple of families before and I'm currently volunteering at Anderson Animal Shelter with the cats. 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.
Reviews
Elena did a great job caring for our fur babies!! She even was willing to learn to give insulin injections for our senior cat. She very obviously loves the cats and we will call on her again. We feel very comfortable that the cats are well cared for and they seemed to enjoy her too. Our home was also treated with respect. Elena is a treasure!!
Elena was wonderful with our 18 year old cat. She gave him medicine twice a day and lots of love!! I think he was disappointed when we came home that we were not Elena !! Our home was as clean as we had left it. She also made sure the feral cat who lives in our garage was fed twice a day. We will definitely call on her the next time we need a sitter!!!!!

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.
