Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness is an utmost importance to me. When in a client‘s home, I respect their rules, and am able to adapt to needs of your fur baby.

Information Elena L. would like to know about your pet

I always request a meet and greet with your pet. I want your dog or cat to feel comfortable and safe with me! Please let me know if your dog is reactive. I am a small person and might not be able to control a large reactive dog. Also, it would be helpful for me know any known allergies your pet has or medications they are currently taking.

A typical day

I love walking so I’d love to take your pet along! For high energy pups, we can either play inside or at a dog park. Please note, I will only take a dog to the dog park if the owner and pup are comfortable in a social setting like this.

Cat care experience

Hello! My name is Elena. I work full-time from home in Arlington and live a very active lifestyle. I started petsitting for dogs and cats four years ago after graduating from college for families in Arlington. I am now joining Rover to offer catsitting or drop in services for families in Northern Virginia. As a kid, I grew up with dogs. As an adult, I’ve grown to love cats through catsitting. One day, I'd love to have a cat of my own! I am petsitting through Rover purely for fun and for a supplemental income. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I know how hard it can be to find and keep reliable and flexible petsitters. Your pet’s safety and happiness are of utmost importance to me. Please feel free to reach anytime. I am a quick responder and I’m happy to answer any questions.

Elena cared for our kitties while we were overseas - we were able to enjoy our travels knowing they were being well looked after!

Elena was great! She went above and beyond to look after my cat. She came to meet my cat prior to my trip. She took photos while I was away. She made me feel at ease. Highly recommend.

My dog loves Elena! Elena has cared for her in our home on several occasions. I always feel confident that my dog is happy and safe because Elena sends regular updates and photos, and she responds quickly to any questions that I have. She also takes excellent care of our home when we are away. Elena is terrific!

Elena has watched my cat many times when I go away. She is so responsible, loving, and I know that my cat is in really good hands with Elena. I would highly recommend her to watch cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe and happy with Elena watching. Debra
