Pet care experience

Responsible and loving pet care😌💓

I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. I only board one dog at a time (or two dogs from the same household), which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention. I work from home and am around most of the day, so dogs staying with me are rarely left alone. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, pay close attention to each dog’s needs, and always treat them with kindness and respect.

Elena was amazing! She provided thorough updates on Theo and how he was doing every day. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying and I will definitely book with her again in the future! :)

Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!

Schedule

I work primarily from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting on most weekdays and weekends. I always do my best to follow each pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs and dogs with health conditions that require extra attention and medication. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would want for my own.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I adjust activities to their age, energy level, and personality. We may enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment games, cuddle time, or simply relaxing together. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.
