Caring, fun and punctual pet sitter

Pet care experience

I am originally from Annapolis, Maryland but I moved to DC in Feb 2023. Back home in Maryland, I have an adorable dog that lives with my parents named Mabel. We adopted her, and I raised and trained Mabel as an 8 week old puppy from April 2020-August 2020, when I was stuck at home for 5 months. I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past 10 years, and because of my experience with Mabel I feel extremely comfortable with puppies! Other pet care highlights include: -In the summers of 2018 and 2019 I house sat more long term for 2 months at a time and took care of two cats and a dog named Chili. -Taking care of my neighbor's Golden retriever puppy Riley the third week she was brought home, and continuing to look after her in Maryland over the years when my neighbors went out of town -Taking care of my neighbor's older Golden Retriever named Scout -Taking care of my colleagues pets in the Air Force Band!

I was so happy with everything you did for Leo. I needed help last minute and you were so willing to come and help. Thank you so much!

Elena was incredible! She was so attentive to our very energetic pup! She truly made sure our pup and kitties were well taken care of! Dolly can be a handful and has a bit of separation anxiety but I could tell she was happy and comfortable by the photos! Elena made sure we enjoyed our trip without stress or worries! Thank you Elena!

10/10 experience with Elena watching my dog & cats! She was very patient, kind, and attentive to them all. She kept me regularly updated with photos and detailed summaries of each stay. She was very prompt and responsible. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. Would recommend Elena to every pet owner!
