I’m currently pursuing my master’s at PLNU, which gives me a flexible schedule on most days. This allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to walking, feeding, and caring for pets. Whether it’s a regular daily walk, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive consistent attention and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet with care, attention, and respect, following their routines closely to keep them happy and comfortable. While in your home, I follow your instructions for feeding, playtime, walks, and any other needs, while making sure your space is respected and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Information Elena F. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, allergies, triggers, behavior around other animals or people, and any training cues they respond to. Knowing their personality helps me provide the best care possible.

A typical day

A typical day depends on your pet’s routine, but I always prioritize consistency, safety, and enrichment. Visits include feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and happy to follow detailed instructions so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I love keeping pets engaged through walks, interactive play, puzzle toys, training refreshers, and enrichment games. For calmer pets, I’m happy to provide cuddle time, brushing, or relaxed companionship—always tailored to their energy level and preferences.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, litter box care, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. I’m currently working on my master’s at PLNU and have also been a Rover client for the past two years, so I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure to follow instructions so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Elena was very attentive and communicative. My kitties were very well loved and taken care of during my trip. Highly recommend!

Elena was my first Rover experience and she was great! She sent me daily messages and pictures of our pup and he seemed to be enjoying her company. She was respectful of our home and will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Elena was more than we could hope for caring of our border collie Kobe while we were away on a family vacation.  Highly responsible and terrific communication with us on a daily basis, including daily photos that were lovely.  Kobe loves Elena; she is helping us with with some walking with him, and we look forward to having her take care of Kobe in the future.
