Welcome to the Four Sausages Hotel

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Elena, and I'm a self-proclaimed crazy dog lady. I started working on Rover in early 2020, my first client was the sweetest rescue pittie, her dad was an EMT working 16hr shifts in the early days of COVID. Since then I've worked with hundreds of different dogs through this platform, and even was connected to my baby boy, Onyx, through a client. I've studied dog body language, behavior, and training, and I've worked with all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with anxiety, special needs & disabilities, medication regimes, and large (100 lb+) or high energy dogs. I understand that leaving your pup can be nerve-wracking, so I always remain highly communicative through photos and messages. You can expect several updates each day of your booking. My dog has all his vaccines and I will gladly provide his vet records, I do ask that any new clients provide records of up-to-date Rabies vaccines. I'm also COVID vaccinated myself :) Tell your dog I said hi!!

Elena always does a great job with our mini aussie and all her quirks. We have peace of mind when she is in her care. She goes above an beyond and we are thankful!

Safety, trust & environment

We'll do at least three walks a day, and visit different parks and hikes to explore new places and smells. Depending on your dogs temperament and social skills, we can also go to dog parks to get the zoomies out. My dog Onyx loves spending time with dogs of every size and shape, he'll gladly run around or play tug with pups his size, or calmly chill with smaller pups.

Information Elena K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any food allergies or sensitivities! Also, any triggers your dog may have; IE: skateboards/loud noises, other dogs bigger or smaller, food guarding aggression, strong pulling on leash. I can deal with and mitigate all of these behaviors, just please let me know beforehand!!

A typical day

We go on an adventure every morning, depending on your dogs energy level we can do a hike, run around at a dog park, a jog, a gentle flat walk, or just sit in the grass and toss a ball around or nap in the sun. We'll have a short outing around mid-day, and another long walk after dinner. We will go out for at least four potty breaks every day, usually two walks, a park visit, and two short trips first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Availability

I work a hybrid schedule so I go in office for a half day, twice a week. The rest of the time I'm working from my laptop, and my schedule is flexible enough to allow for outside breaks when walks are needed.
