Highly Experienced and Well-Known

HAPPY PAWS PET SITTING SERVICES, LLC “Compassionate and Reliable Care for Your Furry Family Members.” Lena Bombard There is a high demand for pet sitters in the Tri-Lakes area, and I love animals and enjoy providing care for pets through drop-in visits and house sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I do offer dog walking services occasionally for only 1-2 pets at a time. I have over 30 years of pet care experience and work full-time at the local Humane Society where I’m the current Shelter Manager/ACO and have been employed there for 24 years. I have provided care for large farm animals (mainly horses and goats), as well as a variety of small creatures like turtles, fish, birds, geckos, sugar gliders, a bearded dragon, and even cared for a tarantula (just don’t ask me to pet one). I’m really not a fan of snakes, but I know they’re interesting and will feed one if asked to. I have experience giving prescription medications, including insulin injections for diabetic pets and specialized care for senior and special needs pets. I want the best for all animals, and I am committed to keeping pets happy in their homes when parents are away or need assistance providing walks for their dogs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about my pet sitting services.

Safety, trust & environment

I always keep dogs leashed on walks for safety and handling control in public. I will utilize a fenced yard for dogs to play/exercise if one is available at the dog’s home. If there is an invisible fence, I always stay outdoors and monitor the dog while they are enjoying their time.I prefer to keep all cats indoors during my pet sitting jobs for safety and monitoring.

Lena was awesome caring for our boys and house over a long weekend. She communicated frequently and sent pictures throughout her stay with our dogs. Feel confident booking Lena, she’s awesome!

Lena went above and beyond what we expected. She was flexible with scheduling, brought in mail, left the house tip top. She had to deal with issues due to challenging winter weather. She is conscientious and a pleasure. We would use her again.

Lena is fantastic! We have never felt that relaxed on a vacation, and it was because we knew our dog was being cared for so well. When we came home our dog was happy and our house looked cleaner than we left it! We would be honored to have Lena care for our dog again in the future.

Schedule

I work full-time at the 9am-5pm, and I am on call for my Animal Control Officer job 24/7. Despite these full-time job responsibilities, I have always been able to handle my pet sitting schedules. For drop-ins for dogs I will do morning, dinner and late evening visits to the owner’s homes. I generally take care of cats and other small pets twice a day in the morning and at dinner time. I do offer short term house sitting and will spend the night at your home with your pets. HAPPY PAWS PET SITTING SERVICES, LLC “Compassionate and Reliable Care for Your Furry Family Members.”
