Pet care experience
German Warm-Hearted Pet Sitter
Growing up in Germany, I was always surrounded by animals – from energetic dogs to cuddly cats and curious little rodents. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my calm, loving approach and my genuine joy in bonding with animals. Since moving to Canada, I’ve deeply missed having animals around me. That’s why pet sitting is more than just a job for me – it’s a heartfelt way to reconnect with the furry companionship I’ve always cherished. I understand that every pet has its own rhythm and needs, and I’m happy to adapt – whether it’s extra cuddle time, a slow, gentle walk, or just quietly keeping them company. Since I currently don’t have pets of my own, I treat every animal I care for like part of my family. I’m also very reliable, detail-oriented, and I always make sure pet parents feel informed and reassured while they’re away. A happy pet and a relaxed owner – that’s my goal 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Sammy loves spending time with Jelena! When she picked him up he was so excited that he didn’t even look back at me as they walked away. Thank you as always for taking such great care of Sammy, I always know he’s in the best hands with you.
Thank again for taking such great care of Sammy! He spent a week with Jelena and I know he had the best time. She made sure to send daily updates with photos of him playing with her puppy Holly and him comfortably sleeping around the house. Thank you again!
Thank you as always! You’re the best!
Jelena always takes such amazing care of Sammy! While I was away and out of cellphone range she still constantly sent me updates on how he was doing! Looks like they had a blast together as always! Thank you 😊
Thank you again for taking Sammy out for two walk breaks this weekend! I’m so glad he got along with your dog and they had a nice little play date together. I know that he was well taken care of during his walks 😊
Jelena always takes great care of my cat while I’m away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Schedule
I currently have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to plan my days around pet care. Whether it’s a morning visit, an afternoon walk, or evening cuddle time – I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I’m generally available during the week and almost always on weekends, so we can find a routine that works best for you and your furry friend!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and at ease in their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions closely – whether it’s feeding, routines, favorite toys, or special spots for naps. I believe pets thrive when they feel secure and their environment stays consistent. Building trust is key – not just with the animals, but also with their humans. I communicate clearly, send regular updates, and always make sure you feel informed and comfortable while you’re away. If your pet stays with me in the future, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and cozy environment where they get plenty of love and attention – just like they would at home.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with your pet will be filled with care, play, and lots of attention! I love starting the day with a nice walk or some playtime to get their energy out. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained—whether that means playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood, or just relaxing with some belly rubs and cuddles. I always adapt activities to your pet’s personality and needs. From high-energy games to calm companionship, your furry friend will be in great hands!

- To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know a few things in advance: Does your pet have any special needs, medical conditions, or allergies? How do they get along with other animals or people? What’s their daily routine like—any favorite toys, habits, or quirks? And of course, any rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home!
