I’m a graduate student and work part time, so I have an adaptable schedule. I enjoy being able to get outside and be around animals, since I don’t have any of my own at the moment. I’m excited to care for your pet and get to know their personality.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is highly important during any form of pet care. I am always curious to know about a pet’s history, any allergies or triggers, and will communicate with you immediately if I have a question during a walk or visit.

Information Elena S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general temperament, food preferences, favorite treats, usual route, and any health conditions or concerns. I want to ensure that I have all the information necessary to care for your pet with all the love they deserve!

A typical day

An activity with movement to engage and tire your pet, and some good petting time - if they like it - is my focus! This can include running together in the park, tug of war, playing with string or their favorite toy. I want to help get out any pent up energy and ensure your pet feels loved while you’re away from home.

Pet care experience

I’ll ensure your pet has everything they need to be completely happy, and have years of experience caring for my own and others’ animals. My top priority is ensuring your pet trusts me and knows they are secure in my care, feeling comfortable to play, eat and ask for what they need. My experience with animals started at home with cats and dogs in Colorado, and has continued to grow over time as I have gained experience with different personalities and needs. In my care, your pet will be the center of attention!

Elena was a great cat sitter. It was really important to her that she get to know our cats a bit before we left for our trip. While we were away, we felt very confident that all was in good hands. We highly recommend Elena!
