Safety, trust & environment

I care for others pets as I care for my own, with lots of love and compassion. I will give lots of attention to your companion but also know if they’ve had enough. I know how much your pet means to you, and I will also follow any instructions you may include when taking care of them, as a lot of pets already have their own routines.

Information Elena M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or directions. I am open to most issues in a pet and prefer knowing ahead of time if a dog is aggressive towards other animals.

A typical day

I love going on hiking trails for the more energetic dogs and will also walk around in different neighborhoods for a change of scenery. With cats I will play with them to their hearts content and make sure they don’t get into any mischievous activities.

Pet care experience

With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am confident handling most pets. I have a big passion and love for animals and want nothing more than to give your companions as much love as I can when their parents are away. I am also very confident in dealing with different medical needs that a pet may have.

Elena again for the win! What a relief knowing Frankie gets to see his bestie for play, walk and potty while away at work. The pictures are always great!

This is our third time with Elena and we are always so happy with her care for our cat. She goes above and beyond with so many photos and great updates. She keeps an eye on the house with bringing in mail and we had our smoke alarm battery need replacing, she’s only too happy to help out if needed! We just love her attention to detail, thanks so much Elena! 🥰

Perfect as always! To add to our other review we love all of the pictures you send. It’s so wonderful to get a mini photographic story of each day we are gone. And lots of the pics are some of his best! You are awesome.
