Easy-going animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm an experienced dog/cat-sitter and have been house-sitting and pet-sitting since 2010. I have experience with fostering strays as well as raising a puppy from 2 weeks of age and with cats, as well. I work remote full-time which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with the animals. I usually walk the pups I sit for at least twice a day, and I love bringing them to parks or on hikes, and giving them lots of love until their loved ones return! I know how important your dog is to your family and I always treat those I sit like a part of my own. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion!

Elena was awesome! She was very communicative, and my cat was immediately comfortable with her! She left my apartment very clean and I would absolutely recommend her!

Elena was a dream!! She stayed at our place and watched our kitten, Gremlin and our other guy, Little while we were on vacation for over a month. She sent us daily updates with pictures, grabbed our mail and watered our plants. Upon return today, she even washed our bedding! I highly recommend her and will continue to book her in the future. Thank you, Elena!

Elena is an excellent dog and house sitter. Our two big dogs loved her, and she took excellent care of them. The house was immaculate when we got home.

Elena was amazing! The first cat sitter I’ve had, where I felt totally at peace with leaving my cats alone. I came home to a clean house and washed linen! What a dream!

Safety, trust & environment

I adhere to the client’s and animal’s needs. I have worked with a range of clients, from those who crate train to allowing the pup to sleep on the bed. I understand the importance of consistency for your pet.

Information Elena M. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate taking the time with a client to meet their pup and getting briefed on a typical routine. Any specific information I should be aware of (my dog for example lunges at motorcycles). Please provide a high level overview of what the living situation is. I need access to reliable wifi for work and I won’t sit at a home while sharing the space with others, e.g., family members, roommates.

A typical day

I love exploring new parks and neighborhoods or going to Fort Funston if the dog is sociable. Some past clients have allowed me to use their car to bring their pup to their favorite hikes or beaches. That is the beauty of living in the Bay!

I have been working from home for years. I love the flexibility this gives me to go on afternoon hikes, moreover I welcome the accountability that gets me outside for walks before my work day.
