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!

Sassy cats are my forte

Cat care experience

I’ve been a cat person since I was 13. The first cat I cared for was a cat named Morris and he’s been with us since! The second cat was a female stray kitten named Mira who was partially blind in one eye! I’ve always had a knack for picking up strays when they were in desperate need of care! My hardest cat to care for was a cat named Mocos who was diagnosed with a permanent URI and so I cared for her for as long as I could until she eventually passed. I gave her a life I don’t think she was going to be able to have since when I first found her she couldn’t open her eyes or breathe. I love cats to death and I’m very willing and able to work with any cat! My dream cat is to care for a sphinx cat which requires a lot of care, but it’s second nature for me to care for cats! I babysat my grandma’s cat for a month and she is just naturally a very mean cat (sometimes even striking my grandparents if she’s in a mood) but she eventually got to be accustomed to me because I respected her space and boundaries! Cleaning litters, grooming daily, and playing for hours is my forte with cats! I’ve also dealt with cats that have separation anxiety as well and am able to navigate all cat behavior! The only cat I haven’t had the pleasure to care for is a tuxedo cat, a sphinx cat, and a Maine coon, but I’m a fast learner and willing do anything to be able to make your cat feel a little less stressed when they’re not with their forever person!!

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.
