Our dogs are our family.
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a central part of my life from a young age, particularly they're care, training, and love. I am always excited to meet new pets and get to understand their unique personalities and traits! I grew up with big dogs, Rottweilers and Malamutes and Pit Bulls. I was responsible for the walking, feeding, and potty needs of our dogs from a young age. My family trained sled dogs and showed Rottweilers professionally. My mother was a defense lawyer for dog litigation, such as dangerous dog charges. I began dogsitting and catsitting for neighbors at the age of 10, and expanded to home stays as a teenager. Professionally, I have experience for caring for puppies, seniors, special needs pups, high energy pups, and those that need some extra patience or training. I have experience helping with mobility, giving medication, and reinforcing training and socialization as needed. Two notes: I am not comfortable letting a dog I am petsitting off-leash outside of their fenced in yard. I am not comfortable leaving a dog unsupervised for more than 10-12 hours.
Reviews
Did great.
Elena was so great with our Buster and she was available even for a sudden booking. Highly recommend!!
Elena was very responsive and took great care of our big boy during our vacation. He has mobility issues but she handled him very well. Will definitely book her again in the future!
Elena was so attentive to our dogs Sam and Roo during her drop in visits! Would highly recommend for any size and temperament of dog!

Safety, trust & environment
Drop In Visits generally include: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks at the start and end, outdoor playtime, and medication or treats if needed. Walks generally include: the walk itself, cleanup needed for rainy or muddy days, and a refreshing of water if the owner is not home. Before each client books I like to Meet & Greet the client and pets, which generally includes showing where food and medication(s) are kept, where the potty areas are, your pets favorite toys, play areas, etc. and confirming what you expect from each visit.
Information Elena L. would like to know about your pet
Any medications needed, how often/much they are fed, and how they react to bikes/people/animals on walks, where they like to be in the house, how much play or touch affection they enjoy, and whether they are leash trained. I love all breeds, and grew up with large dogs!
A typical day
I love yard play such as fetch and tug of war. I will treat your furry friends with the same love and care that you do!

Availability
I can guarantee potty breaks or walks between 5 am and 8 am and between 6 pm and 10 pm on my available days. I am currently an adult college student and hold a part time job. I am willing to flex my availability for repeat clients. Please contact me with any questions, I always flex the visits so no one is alone for long and give my full attention to the pets while there!
