Availability
I'm pretty wide open! Because I'm currently applying for work, I have effectively no commitments and can be available when needed and with little warning.

About Elena M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow positive reinforcement training methodology but know how to work around treat access or different styles. You know your animal better than anyone, and so I will defer to you on what your pet needs!
Information Elena M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how comfortable your dog is on a leash, with other dogs, and other people! I can meet dogs wherever they are but it's important to know how to best support them and have the most successful walk or hang out.
A typical day
My doggie days are the perfect mixture of walks in nature and exploring a community while plenty of time for snuggles and more relaxing bonding. I love long walks in the woodlands or strolling streets with new smells for the dogs and new houses for me! With cats, I aim to please their highnesses as their lowly servant: to find the perfect toy for them to grab at, be a flat surface for naps, and point out any good birds I see out the window.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Elena! I’m a recent Princeton grad moving back to Philly and hoping to fill my life with as much quality pet time as I pursue a career in arts administration! I grew up with a fluffy orange scaredy cat and an anxious dog with some leash aggression, trained on positive reinforcement, so I know how to handle pets with different personalities and needs. I can’t wait to meet your pets!
Cat care experience
Elena also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Elena has been unofficially pet sitting for our family for almost 10 years now! She walks our dog, feeds our cats, and treats our home and pets with respect and courtesy. She is hard working and honest, and unafraid to scoop some poop as needed. Best of all, she’s kind to our dog and makes sure to walk him just how he likes to be walked, with lots of patience and time to stop and sniff.
