Lena (and hubby) did such a great job taking care of my little fur babies. I was nervous as I had never used Rover before but she definitely made me feel secure and confident in her services. The progress reports and pics were very sweet and made me love Lena even more! Not to mention my cats were comfortable with her. Lena is such a calm and kind soul. I would love to book with her again! And I plan to do so 💜

Lena was great at communicating and very observant of my dogs. Her husband helped me out in a pinch. Will use again!

Lena and her pup made sure my doggy was in good company! Thank you so much for taking care of her!

Lena and her husband were incredible with my puppy. Loving to him and kept up with his schedule and socialization. Their dog Canela was so welcoming too. They got along great and Canela was tolerant of my puppy’s energy. Lena kept me up to date everyday on everything. She took care of him as if he were her own. He came back happy, clean and fluffy. I highly recommend Lena.

Safety, trust & environment

For all dog parents: I care for dogs in my own home and have an unfenced yard. We have toys and treats, and a whole other dog to play with! I have the ability to feed all dogs seperately in case of allergies. In order to avoid tummy aches, we ask your pet brings their own food. For food-sensitive dogs, I advice to bring their own treats as well. Multiple dogs welcome if feasable and safe. For all cat parents: Cats roam freely around the house, but are not allowed outside in any capacity. Please note: Our dog likes cats, but can be sniffy and curious with them, however she is not aggressive. I have a lot of experience in cats, including providing care for diabetes in cats (both blood check and insulin injection in neck), feeding pills and grooming/trimming nails. - cat pictures included in my profile are cats I raised from kitten, but are living with my mom. We do not have cats of our own currently. -

Information Lena H. would like to know about your pet

My own dog loves playmates and sharing her toys and playing together. Please let us know if your dog prefers their own space. Anything you want to tell me about your doggo, please do!

A typical day

Me and my husband start the day with a longer walk. when having multiple dogs over, there are always two. Food is determined by the guest dog shedule; since our dog eats seperatly. Water is always available. If the dog is on a regular shedule, we will follow the shedule. If not, we provide three walks a day, together with our own dog. More potty breaks can happen, of course, and will be accomodated if needed. We'd be happy to bring your dog to a dog park, or for a longer walk at Branch Brook, if communicated first. On rainy and cold days we often play ball inside the house, or fetch, or a good old tug-o-war for the braver ones! Naps can be taken throughout the house, often at will, puppies with a shedule will take their naps on shedule. In the evening we often chill like couch patatoes.
