Pet care experience
Certified Dog's Best Friend
*PLEASE CONTACT REGARDING PRICING!* I just really love animals! Growing up in Villanova, I began sitting pups as a kid for family and friends, and moved into the pet care professional world at 15 to continue exploring my love for creatures. I am every species, breed, size, and age friendly with experience caring for all different kinds of health conditions and temperaments throughout the years. I am very detail-oriented, work incredibly hard, and I am always learning something new. I have worked in many kennels/daycares along the Main Line, dog walking services requiring entering homes, and I have worked closely with many veterinarians and technicians in the area. The past few years, I continued my work in Colorado, where I began dog training professionally. I absolutely love teaching and learning, and I am all about finding harmony between you and your pups! I've returned to the area to continue honing my skills and learning more about keeping our furry friends happy, healthy, and thriving!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lena was amazing - she not only took great care of my pup but also of my peace of mind. She demonstrated great training skill and awareness in getting to know us, and I'm confident Toffee had a great time during her stay.
lena j. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
She took great care of Harvey! He loved her and was almost sad for him to have us come home!
Lena took good care of Mochi. Great communication and made sure he was taken out on a walk. I appreciated her updates and they seemed very attentive to each dog.
Lena was wonderful with my dogs! She gave me plenty of updates and was very thoughtful about letting May rest when she got a sore on her paw. I know the girls are already excited for her next visit with us!
Lena has been taking care of my pup on and off for the last 7 months and she is absolutely one of the more professional and experienced care takers out there. I have a 7yr old English black lab who absolutely adores Lena. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pup more than anyone I’ve met Lena is your girl.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I come from a mini-zoo of a household in Pennsylvania, growing up with 7 pets of our own and regularly taking in friends and family's pets as well. Nowadays, my partner and I have a spunky but nervous Terrier mix, and an incredibly active Blue Heeler, and pet care is my daily routine. I am often out on walks or runs on local hiking and bike trails, and constantly working on foundational training! I am constantly striving to keep my pups in the happiest and healthiest condition, and learning new things everyday to make their lives the best I can offer.

A typical day
I love to take my sitting pups for long walks in the neighborhood, parks, or extended yard play. Every dog's needs are different, and I would love to create an environment for them that is entertaining, stimulating, and gives them peace of mind. Even if you aren't interested in training, I love implementing mentally enriching games to build relationships, resilience, and confidence! I love to play, and have many toys for those who love the game, and I'm always down for those who just love to cuddle!
