Dog lover + foster!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Elena. I live in Washington, DC with my fiance but am in Florida with my family for the next few months because he is deployed and I work from home. I work in the field of international development for a research consulting firm. I walked dogs in DC for a little over a year and built a stable client base of about 4-6 dogs that I walked daily. My fiance and I also fostered dogs in DC and successfully found homes for all 4 of our fosters. The majority of the dogs we cared for were considered "problem-dogs" by the fostering agency, so I've seen it all -- separation anxiety, leash aggression, etc. I may be small in size, but I am very comfortable with dogs - including large ones - and am experienced with dealing with most dog issues. If your dog is well-behaved, it'll be a breeze for me! The only problem I'm not comfortable dealing with is aggression toward humans. I am generally available full-time as I work from home and make my own hours for the most part, so I would be available to walk your dog every 3-4 hours if need be. I'm happy to dog sit at your house as long as you have internet. I've also worked with a few clients with cats and am happy to take cat sitting/drop-in requests. If you have any questions or special requests that I can accommodate for you, feel free to contact me!

Elena is always reliable! She is my go to sitter and I trust her to look after my cat when I am away. She is the best ❤️

Elena was great to work with and responded very quickly to my request. I'm so grateful she was flexible when I had a friend visiting in town and staying at my place while I was gone. Rover customer service also did a wonderful job helping me edit my dates so that Cheddar had full care. He definitely yelled at me less than normal when I returned from vacation and as toys were strewn about the apartment I know he had a good time. I hope he and Elena had fun. Will definitely request her in the future!

Elena was so sweet with my dog. They totally bonded. I would absolutely ask Elena to watch my pup again!

Elena is a wonderful sitter! Our dog has come home happy and rested both times we have used her. We received great updates and felt no anxiety while we were gone. Will use her again in the future!
