Safety, trust & environment

I may not be able to look after your pets in my own home, but I am more than able to create a loving environment inside your home while I am taking care of them! I always make sure to stay in contact with you and send lots of photo and video updates! During my stay I make sure to tidy up aa I go, and before I leave your home I always make sure to do a thorough cleaning to ensure your home is just the way you like it when you get back!

Information Elena S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any of your pets special needs if they have any! I can easily adapt my schedule to cater to their needs to ensure that your pet will be comfortable and happy

A typical day

I make sure to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. I know lots of games to play with them, plenty of training exercises, and lots of parks and trails to take them on walks! I also love to talk out loud and engage with your pets throughout the day, and getting to know each unique personality 😁

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Elena and I’m excited to meet you! I've been looking after my neighbours pets for around 6 years and taking care of my own dog for 5 years. I am capable of looking after several different animals, including but not limited to; dogs(from puppy to elderly, and yes I can take care of puppy training while you're away!), cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, snakes, and lizards! I am comfortable with all dog and cat breeds. I have administered medication to dogs and cats as needed and have experience with senior cat care, senior dog care and their medicines.

Our three dogs had another great stay with Elena, her third time sitting for us. Elena is reliable and wonderful with our high energy dogs. We’re looking forward to having her back again. 😊

SO patient, helpful and easygoing when my cat got sick and plans had to change. She was willing, able and even voluntarily offered more than what was expected. I was able to relax leaving my two cats in her care and would definitely recommend!

Elena was great with our ferret. I would absolutely have Elena care for our ferret again.
