I am currently home full time with my son, so we have all day to play with and entertain your pets! We both heart-fully enjoy the cuddles, ball throwing and any outdoor adventures we take them on. Of course, I take full responsibility of the pet and monitor my son at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll follow whatever guidelines I am given- whether you want me to continue crate training or sleep with them or follow specific guidelines. My son sleeps in a travel crib, which can be setup in a separate room, so your pets will have me all to themselves! Just share a list of commands they know and I’ll practice those too. I can handle any detailed guidelines if needed- not leaving knives in the sink, not dishwashing certain glassware, making sure doors are closed at all times, and always spot clean your home better than my own. I've even been known to do light handy work when asked very nicely! lol.

Trusted house & pet sitters!

Pet care experience

I have been housesitting for several years, most especially during covid. I am an Airbnb super host and have an inactive profile on TrustedHousesitters where you can read many of my 5 star reviews. I understand the importance of trust and always send photo updates and any other information throughout the services! I am now housesitting with my young son, and my husband will join us when he can over summer and winter break from teaching. Do let me know how your pets are with kids! We keep a watchful eye on him at all times and he is very experienced with pets. Do not worry about childproofing your home- he is an avid traveler! We have been all over the world- including cruises, Japan, NYC and all over the West coast. This means we have stayed in tiny cabins, crowded cities, taken trains, buses and the subway. We are very used to staying outside our home and comfort space and bring all the tools we need to do so safely. Of course if you have any extreme valuables, those should be put away anyway. I look forward to meeting your furry little ones!

Elina is one of the best dog sitters I have ever encountered. She is conscientious, detailed oriented, incredibly efficient, and has a wonderful way with my dogs. I have genuine peace of mind when she’s taking care of them. She is also kind and patient – with people and pets. A+

I cannot say enough how wonderful Elina is! She is super responsible, thoughtful, conscientious, and my dogs took to her immediately, which does not always happen. With the feedback and photos, I always knew what was going on and she got the complicated routine down immediately. She is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had in my entire life and I’m lucky to have found her!

They were super accommodating, friendly, and communicative. Couldn’t ask for better folks and I think the kitties enjoyed their company too!
