Information Elena L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, or if there’s anything they don’t like or that stresses them out. Also, if your pet has any favorite things, please let me know that too!

A typical day

There is a dog park nearby, where I would be happy to take dogs. I would also walk them around the neighborhood. I would give them treats if their owner allows. With cats, I will usually stop by one time for a quick visit and a second time for at least an hour. I want to make sure they feel they have companionship, even if they are more independent cats.

Elena was great with my pup Scout! She made her feel safe and comfortable and provided regular updates and pictures. 10/10 will book again!

We left our dog Vinny with Elena for the day and couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. Elena sent us photos throughout the day so we always knew how he was doing — such a thoughtful touch that gave us real peace of mind. When we picked Vinny up, he was happy and relaxed, which says everything. We'll absolutely be booking with Elena again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!

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.
