Pet care experience

Dog loving sitter!

I’ve always loved dogs ever since we got them as pets at a very young age. I would even be the one to bring home strays with my friends when a dog has escaped his home. I’ve been more consistent with dog sitting on and off in the last 10 years or so. My friends would know they can rely on me to take care of their beloved pets when they were away on vacation or weekend trip. Pups are allowed on the furniture and in the bed as we all pile in for a good cuddle at bed time. They’re more than welcome to sleep in their own space too. I can play fetch, I can walk them, whatever makes your fur baby happy.

She sent sweet pictures and accepted us kind of last minute! She was great with our rambunctious puppy.

My booking was last minute so it was a bit hard finding someone available. But I’m glad Jalena was able to take care of Mitsuri for me. I’m so happy she had so much fun with her doggies. It’s like it was meant to be haha. Will definitely book with her next time! Thank you!

Our puppy absolutely loves Jalena! Every time she watches him, we feel totally at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Honestly, she takes such good care of him that we’re pretty sure he second-guesses coming home. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust this much with our fur baby.

Jalena really treats my fur babies as her own! She is one of the most dog loving people I know and she will take the best care of your pets! My fur children love her and the endless cuddles she gives them. You can’t go wrong with trusting jalena to take the best care while you’re away.

Jalena was my Ziggy’s sitter multiple times over the years and I mean It when I say She will treat your pup like they are hers. She has a GIANT heart for animals and gives them the best care possible. I always Felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would do so over and over and over again. She also sends photos and updates so you don’t miss them too much while you’re away! She’ll cuddle them hard so they don’t miss you too much as well. Definitely would recommend Jalena for a pawsitive pet care experience!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs who love to play and cuddle and will be a great companion to your fur baby. I can crate your dog or mine if needed whenever they look like they need some space or put them in another room. We have a gate to block off the kitchen/family room if needed as well.
