SPCA-Trained Walker
Pet care experience
As a medical worker with a rotating schedule, my spare time often falls in the middle of the day. Having put in many hours at the AACSPCA, I have significant experience with walking dogs of all sizes. Best yet, I'm a trained runner with two agility dogs at home so I'll give your pups a good workout if that's what you prefer. Worried about how your dog might take to hanging out with a stranger? No need - I've got quite the reputation as the "Queen of Shy Dogs". Just let me know what kind of treats your pup prefers, as well as any potential triggers, and we'll be best friends in no time. I'm open to park visits as well. If that's a service that you're interested in, shoot me a DM and we'll work out logistics.

I would not leave my dog with anyone but Elena W. She is hands down the most loving and responsible dog caregiver I know. She treats all animals like they're her children. Leaving your dog can be very stressful, but you never have to worry when Elena is caring for them! She has an obvious passion for animals, dogs especially. I whole-heartedly recommend Elena for all of your doggie needs!
I have known and worked with Elena for 3 years now. She is the most kind, caring, and detail oriented person I’ve ever met. She has been volunteering with the local SPCA for 2 years, and she does it because she loves it. She is incredibly passionate about animals. She rescued her sweet fur baby through her time at the SPCA, and he is cared for in the most human-baby kind of way (which is the highest compliment.) She plans her entire life and schedule around his care. He is the most spoiled, well taken care of, loved dog and he knows it! He went from being anxious and terrified of everything/everyone, to gaining confidence and thriving. He now loves the dog park and the beach, places he couldn’t even go before Elena adopted him. He goes to doggy school, he has doggy play dates, even sleepovers with his human grandma. He wears doggy sweaters and eats the best of dog foods. He’s truly transformed into the most amazing dog, who just needed a chance, and Elena saw that. Her interactions and relationships with pets of all kinds is just.... special!!! I would absolutely trust Elena to care for my own dogs when/where needed, and you should too!! If your pet is your baby and you want them to be treated that way, Elena is the one!!!
One thing I know about Elena is that she always goes above and beyond for her fur-friends. When I met her she was volunteering at her local shelter. It’s where she fell in love with her now fur-child Thoven. From the shelter she gave him a home, warm bed, and all the love he could ask for. Her heart is all in for any and every animal, and that says a lot about a person. Elena’s is wonderful, and hard working, and just a sweet person all around.
Elena watched my mini-farm that includes a German Shepard, a Border Collie and a Havanese . We also have chickens and an Emu. Elena was beyond loving and caring for my fur babies. She sent pictures and videos of her daily play-time outside as well as having them all tucked in with her in bed at night . I fully trust Elena as she did such a fantastic job treating my babies as her own. She is a great fur-mommy.
