Absolutely Paw-sitive Experience!

*** Please read before booking: I do not watch 1 dog at a time so if it’s your preference please do not schedule a meet & greet. Also I don’t house sit. All dog stays are done in my home.*** My children and I are avid dog lovers. We lead a healthy & active lifestyle, & dog sitting is a whole family affair for us. Unless you requests a separate dog bed, your dog will most likely sleep in our bedroom or in one of my children's beds. We are caring & empathetic & will treat your special pet as our own to ease his/her time away from you. We work hard to provide quality care as we believe animals deserve nothing less. By quality we mean regular exercise, play time & snuggles. We will decline a dog stay that we perceive as not safe or disruptive for the other animals in our care. Caring for your dog is a privilege, & we eagerly await every dog stay. Satisfied pet parents & dogs is our biggest reward! A meet and greet is preferred for each dog & every guest needs to be well mannered and socialized. High strung, high energy, hyper-active dogs, dogs chewing on furniture, dogs that not house broken & dogs not sleeping through the night will not be a good fit here since it's too stressful for our family & other dogs we are hosting. All the meets and greets are done in my home and the dog must be present. Zoom meet and greet is an option if you are out of town or booking on a short notice. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to make it for a meet and greet or found an alternative arrangement. There're usually no more than 4 dog guests at a time to ensure that everyone gets the attention they deserve. We believe in quality over quantity. Once in awhile, there can be "spillover" where we have an extra dog or two for 24-48 hours, especially around holiday times. Dog boarding rate is per night, up to 24 hours. If drop off/pick up times are not the same, there may be a price adjustment. Our rates are flexible to customize your experience. Please let us know if you need a special arrangement. I highly recommend booking 1.5-2 months in advance for major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Holidays is my busiest time of year and I prefer not to turn my regular clients away because I am already full. You have 72 hours to confirm the booking after a meet and greet. If the booking is not confirmed within 72 hours those dates will be released to other customers and you may lose your spot. I am not able to hold the requested dates without a deposit. Please bring dog food, food bowls, leash and crate if needed. Dog beds are optional. Please don't bring a retractable leash as it makes a tangled mess when I walk multiple dogs. Harness is best for walking. Please check its fit & tighten on your dog to prevent harness slipping off. Detailed care instructions are super helpful - either on Rover site under your pet's profile or printed/written on a paper at dog drop off. If you are my regular client and don't see an open spot on my calendar, please reach out. I may be able to fit you in, depending on the personalities & breeds of other dogs I am hosting.

I’m so glad I found Lena! She’s responsive, flexible, and my dog loves her. She’s a 20 minute drive away which isn’t super convenient for me, but Lena’s so worth it!

My dogs had another wonderful stay with Lena. She is so attentive and kind. She goes the extra mile tending to my dog who is suffering from congestive heart failure. I couldn’t ask for a better home to leave my puppies in when I leave town. Many thanks to Lena.

I cannot express my gratitude to Lena. She is more than amazing! This is our second time booking with her and my furbabies were treated as one of their own. She was super professional, extremely supportive and flexible with us. I highly recommend her.

Benny loved to be at Lena’s house. Videos were sent every day. He got spoiled, he was even allowed to sleep on the bed. I can highly recommend Lena and her family, especially her little daughter. Thank you🐕

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard and live near scenic trail in the woods. I also enjoy taking dogs to the off-leash area at the Marymoor and Robinswood parks. If your dog has a crate please bring it along. I often use crates during meal times to make sure each dog is able to finish her/his meal in peace without being interrupted.

A typical day

Animals who are comfortable with car rides & well behaved are fully included in my daily activities, from meeting friends at a coffee shop to going to a Farmer's market to driving out of town for a hike. Ultimately, what we do depends on the dog's comfort zone & your preference. I believe high energy dogs need regular exercise to be happy & make it a priority. Also, photography is my hobby & I enjoy discovering beautiful places to photograph your pet.

Are they able to walk well on a leash or do they pull? How are they around other dogs & kids? Do they like to have food out all the time or eat on a schedule? What do they like to do for play time? How do you discipline your dog? Do they need to be put in a kennel if I leave the house or at night? Does your dog have anxiety when separated or have any anxiety manifesting behaviors (howling, digging, barking, licking, aggression)? Do they sleep with you or in their own bed? Any allergies?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
