Pet care experience

Fun, Interactive Sitter

Hey there! A bit about me... I grew up with animals; dogs, cats, and the occasional little or wild creature. My mother was a vet tech, in Ukraine and, after moving to Texas, continued to work with animals, so I've been fortunate to have been around them for most of my life. I don't have any pets of my own, sadly, so I can't think of a better way to make some extra income! (I've also had a bit of experience volunteering/working with horses & wildlife)

House Sitting • Jun 14, 2025

I recently had Elena watch my house and two dogs, Molly and Max, for a week, and she was the best! From the first meet and greet she was very friendly and had an instant connection with Max and Molly. She made sure they were safe, happy, fed, exercised, and got plenty of cuddles and play time. She also sent regular updates and photos of them having fun, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She also made sure to ask plenty of questions before I left about Max and Molly's routine - feeding schedule, favorite toys, etc... When I got home, the house was spotless, and pups were happy! Elena really went the extra mile and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. If you need a reliable and caring dog/house sitter, I highly recommend Elena!

Elena was excellent. She provided clear communication and updates throughout her 6 days spent at my house. She sent multiple photos and videos of my dog, administered medicine, and gave her baths. She went above and beyond and left my home very clean. I’m so grateful and would definitely recommend!

My three can't be a handful and she did an awesome job. A whole 10 days of their nonsense ?. Thank you again for looking after them and the house.

The basics are good to know, like feeding times, snack restrictions/favorites, if they need to be watched carefully outside (poop eaters/escape artists), or if they like to chew on shoes. If there's a litter box, where can I find the scoop/litter and where do I dispose of poop baggies? Are there any places your pet doesn't like to be scratched or held? What to do if they get nervous during rainstorms, the more info the better!
