Information Elena L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your pet is with strangers and other dogs and cats, what make them happy, either they are active and playful or mellow, the age and any special needs.

A typical day

I love to balance dogs day with play and rest. I enjoy walking them a few times a day, and let them explore the neighborhood, play balls and sticks and other stimulating toys, and practice commands. I also let the dog rest if they needed it, especially senior doggies.

Responsible and loving sitter

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs for many years: feeding, cleaning, walking, and playing, all with the great sense of responsibility and enthusiasm. My neighbors and friends have been trusting me with pets care in their homes while they are away. In addition, i have been helping a friend with dogs foster care and learned a great deal about young pups and their needs. I also volunteer at adaption events. Both, dogs and cats bring so much joy to my life, and I pay them back with my love and care.

This is the second time we use Elena, and we couldn't be more pleased. She took excellent care of our sweet dog and was always responsive, communicative and very responsible. We can't recommend Elena enough and will definitely be using her again.

Elena was wonderful with Beau. She literally greeted him with open arms. I look forward to working with Elena again because she cared for my dog as if he were her own.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
