Pet care experience

25+ years of loving pet care!

After a brief hiatus from Rover to pursue professional development as well as a cross-Pennsylvania move from Pittsburgh to the Philadelphia suburbs, I have reactivated my Rover profile with the hopes of rebuilding my pet care business. In addition to the several years providing services through Rover, I spent three years working in a day care facility in groups with large and small dogs as well as one on one time with all-sized dogs who were unable to participate in group play. During those years I was also tasked with overnight care and cleaning of the facility and pets' rooms, following regular feeding schedules and administering oral medications to cats and dogs staying with us. I'd be thrilled to get to know your pets and help make sure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable time with me while you are away. I am not intimidated by pets who may be protective or aggressive—I believe all animals deserve love and respect. I appreciate the time, attention and energy that goes into selecting the right caregiver for your pets and I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet you and yours and see if I am the right fit!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a yard (partially fenced), and a very friendly pup who loves when we have visitors! We do have cats who mostly keep to themselves when other dogs are in the house.

Lena is fantastic! Our dog gets so excited to see her (as seen in the pictures she sends). It’s a true relief knowing that our dog is getting great care during the day.

Lena was terrific. She shared photos and news about how Zeke was doing and even taught him some new tricks. I would highly recommend Lena.

Lena was WONDERFUL!! She diligently found our very shy, Houdini-like cat hiding in a different crazy spot every day we were gone, and even managed to get her to come out for some pets by the end of their time together!! Lena was super communicative and we so appreciated what a great job she did for us.

Lena did a great job of taking care of Cordelia, she was always sure to send us many pictures and when we got home our cat seemed happy and taken care of, the food was filled, water filled, and litter scooped. Lena also went the extra mile and left us a sweet note about Cordelia.

What commands do they know? Are they good with strangers/dogs on walks or do I need to be proactive in keeping separation on walks? Are they cuddlers or independent? What’s their favorite activity?
