Pet care experience
Special/Medical Needs Pet Parent
Hi! I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have always loved animals and I have two dogs of my own - a St. Bernard bullmastiff mix named Chubs and a chihuahua named Minion. I am a special needs pet parent, my St. Bernard mix has idiopathic epilepsy and suffers from extreme cluster seizures. I am experienced in seizure management, medication management and administration, and rescue medication protocol. I also have experience taking care of a cat with diabetes which required injections twice daily. I assure you, from personal experience, that I understand how scary it can be to trust someone to care for your pet, especially if they have special needs. Part of the reason I decided to start this account is to allow those with special needs pets a sense of comfort knowing I have my own special needs pup at home.

Safety, trust & environment
I am able to do anything requested by the owner within reason. I have experience walking reactive dogs, dogs with bad leash manners, and several large breed dogs (over 120lbs). I am also experienced in jogging with dogs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions ! I always offer free meet and greets.
Ratings and reviews
Came to watch our little guy on short notice and went above and beyond😝 took excellent care, was super friendly and helpful, and was sure me and my girl got the cutest pics ! So happy to have found her to dogsit as needed. Would def hire and recommend again!
Elena is very professional, trust worthy and communicative. We felt very comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation and she did a fantastic job!
Elena has taken care of my kitties multiple times now, and they love her. My girl cat has medication she needs twice a day and can be difficult, but Elena is able to get her to take it every time. My boy cat just loves her so much every time she comes to visit. I can always count on my kitties being well taken care of!
Elena did a great job watching my pups. She fed them and let them out for the night. I would use her again!
Elena was great with my two cats. This was my first time leaving them with someone other than family to take care of them, and I was nervous because one is on an oral medication. Elena let me know each time she visited that the medication was taken and sent picture updates. My one stand-offish cat even warmed up to her and let her pet her, so that itself means a lot. I’ll definitely be hiring Elena in the future!
Elena took great care of our 11 month old puppy. She walked him, fed him, and played with him. Communication was great. We would definitely use Elena again to watch our dog.

Schedule
I work from home so I am flexible. I do not typically stay overnight. If you’re requesting house sitting, I will spend as much time at your house as needed, but at night time midnight-7am I will not be there.
