Pet care experience

A natural born animal whisperer

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!

Pets

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!

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!!!

Elena is absolutely the best! She took care of my high anxiety Australian Shepherd and got his trust super fast. She has the sweetest personality and I got daily updates on how my babies were doing. She will be my number 1 go to person from here on out to stay at my home to watch my babies again.

Elena was great with my temperamental dog. She always communicates and is very helpful with everything. I really appreciated all she did to keep my pets happy while I was out of town.
