Pet care experience
Hi! I am a part time pet care professional working both independently and through Rover for the past year. Before that, I worked in 3 different local kennels for nearly 4 years. While I loved my job, I found the large-scale, fast-pace nature of kennels to be extremely stressful on the dogs. This was my inspiration to start my own service caring for dogs in a space they will feel more comfortable and get the attention and one-on-one care that a kennel can’t provide. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and feel comfortable with all types of personalities. I am always patient, gentle, and happy to provide your dog with endless interaction. Having worked in kennels, I am extremely knowledgeable on how to keep your dog both safe and engaged. During my kennel years I was responsible for looking after up to 30 dogs at one time on my own. This included administering medications, overlooking play time, breaking up dog fights, basic grooming, walking dogs, encouraging good behavior (leash manners, resource gaurding, jumping, etc), and much more. Currently I am in school, so be sure to check out my schedule below. My partner is also available to help out with dog sitting, so if your dog can’t be alone for more than a couple hours, send me a message and we can likely work out a care schedule! My partner is also wonderful with dogs, gentle, caring, and knowledgeable on behavioral practices.
Reviews
Bruin was immediately calm and at ease upon meeting Lena for the first time. They had a good walk and he seemed to respond to her really well. Would recommend Lena!
She was so great with our dogs, communication was easy with her sent us up dates through the weekend! We will definitely be using her again :)
Lena was fantastic! We were nervous about our dog staying at her place because they had never met before, but as soon as we got there, he felt right at home. He could have cared less when we left him. She sent us pics all weekend and he looked so happy. It is obvious that Lena is a natural with animals and has the calm and soothing energy that they flock to. Thank you so much Lena!!!
One of our dog seriously hurt her leg two days before we were leaving for a week long vacation. Lena stepped in without hesitation to help with meds and provide extra care per our vet's instructions. She made a stressful situation much easier to handle—both for us and our hurt dog! She also took awesome pics!

Information Lena G. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences and have plenty of experience with all types of personalities, from shy or anxious to bouncing off the walls. Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements or needs, medications, allergies, specific fears, sensitive areas they don’t like to be touched, favorite activities, etc. No amount of information is too much! I would love to hear anything and everything in order to insure your pup is both happy and safe.
