Pet care experience
I’ve always had cats as pets (Daphne, Lilly, Luna, and Mars) growing up so I’m very knowledgeable about indoor cat care. I also used to house/cat sit for my parents’ friends when they went on vacation - check in, play, and feed them. When I was older, I was asked by neighbors to help look after their dogs (Chance, Henry, Pride, Gilda, Pepper, etc) when they were gone. Same schedule as the cats but I also helped train Henry from a puppy to a big dog of fantastic manners. I love both cats and dogs and they seem to always love me back! My photos are usually of the dog or cat so I don’t have lots of me playing with them or walking because it was when I was in middle/high school but believe me, I try to tire them out and have a good play session ❤️
Reviews
The best exemple I can give you about Elena and how caring she is about animals is her advice to me when I told her I was taking two cats back home. She told me « love them as you want to be loved in return ». She was right and it was the best advice. I have now the most loving cats on planet Earth. She will not only care for your pets but love them as her own. When I lived with her, she had two cats and was friend with a neighbor’s dog. She always pay attention to your pet friend’s mood, what he likes, where to pet them, what toy he prefers or when to be calm and just be loved. Choose Elena and you won’t regret it and your pet will love her for sure!
I've known Elena since she was one years old. She is a responsible and kind human being who will give your pet the best care possible. She often watched our family's dogs while we would go on vacation and she did an excellent job every time. We trusted her completely. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Even at an early age Elena developed an empathy and understanding of animals. While growing up she looked after our cats. She jumped at the opportunity to take care of friends and neighbors dogs and cats. She will be a excellent pet caregiver.
Elena is a very responsible woman who loves animals. She was always very sweet with my blind and deaf old Irish terrier, and was so sympathetic when she died. She grew up with cats and has a cat who is very spoiled—hammocks in the windows, toys everywhere—and very loved. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to bring any animals to my apartment (have a cat and no backyard). But I am willing to walk dogs or play with them at the dog park/backyard of the client. I’ve been pet sitting for a while and have been trusted by many neighbors to take care of their dog in-house. I’d love to meet my clients beforehand so they can get a feel of me and I can introduce myself to their cat/dog.
Information Elena G. would like to know about your pet
If the dog has any preferences or favorite paths for walking I’m happy to do what’s best for them. Anything medical is of course necessary but I also like to know what they like so I can tailor my care to familiar scenarios.
A typical day
There’s a great nature trail near my house I could take them to which does have a dog park. I enjoy fetch and tug of war but I’m always eager for the dog to show me their favorite game. I’m a bit walker so I enjoy long walks if their up for it.

Availability
I work full time from 10am to 7pm so either before or after I could take care of them. I also have an hour long break where I could run out and take care of my furry friend. Weekends I’m free and have a car for travel purposes.
