Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate dogs that need crating, but I don’t believe in crating dogs for full days and only for hours at a time or during the night when they need sleeping. I’m not a big crate person, but I’d be willing to crate if requested by owner! I’m well versed in grooming pets with high maintenance and able to follow a strict diet/schedule! I love going on walks and (trying) to train pets. If your pet is highly trained I’m able to continuously work on their training progress! I’m well-versed in pet body language and willing to go above and beyond to make your pet feel more at home with me!

Information Elena M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet is a jumper! I love animals, but if I know your pet is a jumper, I won't be on defense right away!

A typical day

I will play tons of games with toys, check out new smells, go on adventures, lounge out on the couch, and cuddle together on the bed or wherever I can!

A natural born animal whisperer

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been asked to care for pets when others aren’t able. I have a natural talent for being able to understand all animal’s body languages. I’m very charismatic and respectful of others and willing to do anything for your pet to feel a little less stressed when their forever person isn’t with them. I’ve babysat dogs from puppy huskies to senior chihuahuas! I’ve also collected tons of strays and fostered others to later find amazing forever homes! I love going on walks with both cats and dogs and I’m able to play for hours with more attention seeking pets! I’m also able to read when a pet needs some time alone and I’m able to follow a strict feeding schedule!

Elena kept wonderful video and picture documentation of the time she was with my animals. I truly appreciated getting updates when meds were given, food was eaten, etc. Elena kept the house in order, the pets happy and calm and the exit video was chefs kiss! I can’t wait for the next time they can sit for us!

Elena was great with our 4 dogs. She was very responsive and always gave us updates on how they were doing along with pictures and videos. We definitely will be asking her to take care of our dogs again. Highly recommend!!!
