Everyone needs dog love

Pet care experience

I’ve literally been around dogs my entire life and wouldn’t have had it any other way. I’ve had everything from a 5 pound chihuahua to a 125 pound Rottweiler and everything in between. I have experience giving medications and physical help when needed (my Rottweiler had knee surgery) as well as just dealing with special limitations to accommodate weird quirks that some dogs have. I have no prejudices against any breeds, and actually tend to gravitate towards the “bully breeds” myself. I’m in a PhD program at UH so a couple days a week I go into town for a few hours, but for the most part I’m working from home all day with my dog Mia (who gets along with every person and every dog she meets). While I’m home your fur baby will be loose playing with Mia or sleeping on the furniture, but while I’m out of the house I will require that they can be kenneled. I love taking my dog on hikes and will happily bring yours along with us if you want. And don’t worry, I tend to overheat here probably faster than your dog does so I always make sure I have plenty of ice water for me and the dogs.

Elena was absolutely fantastic with my senior pup, Binti! We arranged a meet-and-greet at a local dog park in advance, giving me assurance and confidence that she'd be in good hands. She sent pictures while I was away and it was clear that she was giving Binti tailored love and care, and cared for her like her own. Paws down, I'd take my pup to stay with her again!

Elena is the best! She took great care of our pup and really loves dogs. When we came back Lailu seemed like we had never left which is always a great sign. Definitely would recommend :-)

Elena is an awesome dog sitter. I had her watch my fur baby for a few days while I was out of town and not only did she send me random pictures throughout his stay but he was completely worn out from playing with her dog Mia when I picked him up. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
