Safety, trust & environment

As I said I’ve had a lot of pets in the past. I try to provide enough love and comfort for them to feel safe. As well as giving them enough exercise to be happy and healthy.

Information Elena R. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs or medication. If they have behavioral problems such as aggression with strangers. If they need strict or heavy amounts of exercise. If they have a strict feeding schedule.

A typical day

I like taking dogs on walks on public trails. It gives them scent stimulation as well as socializing. I love working on tricks as well, it’s a good way to help a dog with behavior issues by giving them a task.

Pet care experience

I have had plenty of dogs growing up. At one point I had 5 labradors and a papillon. My family used to foster dogs for the marines before they went to training. Right now I have 3 middle aged labs. Also for the past two years i’ve been pet sitting a cat and dog named Missy and Lenny. Lenny is a German Shepard and Missy is an Angola

Elena has been a very responsible and caring and pays attention to safety and details. My dog Ariel gets super excited when she hears and sees Elena. I hope to keep Elena paired with Ariel for a long time to come.

Elena has been walking Ariel for about 6 weeks now. She is a very caring and considerate dog walker for my dog Ariel . Ariel really likes her and waits for her at door as soon as she hears the vehicle pull up. I would recommend Elana without hesitation. I hope she cares for Ariel long term.

Elena did a great job looking after our dogs and house while we were away. Our dogs are not a fan of strangers, but Elena took time to understand their preferences and was patient with them. She also was responsive to communications and left the house in pristine condition. Would happily book her again!
