Availability

I recently graduated UC Davis in June (2026). This summer, I'm job hunting and in the process of moving, but have no solid schedule. Dogs are never alone for more than 6 hours at a time. My mornings and evenings are dedicated to pet care, and I plan my day around their needs. My schedule is consistent week to week. Evenings and weekends allow for extra attention, playtime, and longer walks. I prioritize maintaining each pet's routine, whether that includes sleeping in my room or following specific feeding times, to help them feel comfortable during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with two roommates who love animals but will not be assisting with care. We don’t have any pets of our own, but we frequently have people over- your pet will get a lot of love! Our apartment is carpeted and has stairs, which might be difficult for puppies or dogs with mobility issues. I live right next to the greenbelt with a small grassy patio in our front yard. Growing up, my dogs were crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates safely and positively. I’ve cleaned up plenty of messes, both inside and out, and I’m always mindful about keeping food and anything tempting out of reach.

Information Lena A. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s routine, energy level, medical needs, allergies, and/or any physical issues like joint pain or mobility challenges. Anything that helps me give them safe, personalized care!

A typical day

A typical day starts with breakfast and a morning walk, followed by some supervised downtime or playtime as I get ready for my day. Midday includes another walk or potty break. In the evenings, we do a longer walk, dinner, and some cuddle time before winding down for the night. During the week, I love walks and playtime with dogs, whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just hanging out outside (maybe inside during the Davis summer heat though lol). On weekends, if your dog enjoys adventure, I love bringing them along for hikes, swimming, paddle boarding, trips to pet friendly restaurants, and other dog friendly activities. I'll tailor activities to each dog's personality and comfort level, and always make time for cuddles and attention.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs since I was 15—feeding, walking, giving meds, and more. I’m attentive, reliable, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, always tailoring care to their needs.

Communicates well! Took great care of our dog! Even brought him to the vet when needed and gave our dog his meds! Thanks so much!

Lena was super easy to coordinate with. She took great care of Nadene, and I appreciate her sending photo updates. Book with Lena; your pet will be in good hands!

My experience with Lena was really great! I boarded my dog at her place, and I could tell that she had really enjoyed her stay when I picked her up. I appreciated Lena’s daily updates and photos, and she was happy to work with me when my plans changed and I needed to alter my booking. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I will absolutely be booking with Lena again

Lena took wonderful care of Raphael during his stay! She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, gave his medication, took great care of him after a fun day at the lake (thank you for that adventure!) and was quick and honest to let me know about anything out of the ordinary. Rapha came home happy, relaxed, clean, and very well cared for. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book with Lena again, she’s caring, intelligent and detail oriented. Highly recommend!
