Information Lena C. would like to know about your pet

I was an owner of Maltese, my parents had a pug and a chihuahua when I was little. I am better at taking care small to medium size dogs. And I’m a big fan of Boston Terrier. :)

A typical day

I would walk the dog 3 times in a day around the community I live or go play in a dog park or some pet-allowed public areas. Love to playing toys with the dogs during the day.

Responsible huge dog lover

Pet care experience

I grew up in a family with dogs, I was an owner of a lovely Maltese named Tobby for 14 years. Once voluntarily became the foster family of rescue dog. I have always been a dog lover for my whole life, it would light up my day just by simply seeing four-legged friends.

Buffy absolutely loved hanging out with Lena! Lena was extremely accommodating to our last minute request and when I picked up Buffy she didn’t want to leave! Lena was also fantastic in sending pictures of while taking Buffy on a walk and updates as the time went! I would absolutely use Lena again and recommend for anyone who needed a sitter to use.

Lena was attentive to our two dogs and kept me informed and updated throughout their stays with photos. We hope for them to stay with her again in the future.

Lena took great care of my dog Mungo yesterday. He has just gone through two big moves recently, so he’s been a bit insecure and quite nervous. Lena shared he was whining quite a bit when I first dropped him off, but she handled it really well: she took him outside, tried to distract him, and made sure he felt more comfortable. Throughout the day she sent me plenty of updates, which I really appreciated and which gave me peace of mind. Communication was easy and pleasant, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making Mungo feel safe. Overall a very good experience, I would definitely trust Lena with Mungo again.

Lena did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Princy! She was kind, attentive, and treated Princy like her own. Lena kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Princy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time with Lena. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
