Full time Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
My experience working with animals ranges from caring and training my own pets, to attending several hands-on animal care career camps, to working as a Junior Trainer with horses and young children with disabilities at Marcody Ranch. Most of my volunteer hours (500+) were with Dr. Harper at his The Animal Clinic of Dunlawton, in Port Orange in 2013. This is where I performed assistive duties with cleaning, reception, and bloodwork, daily tasks for basic animal care in the kennels and with other general tasks. I also assisted veterinarians in exam rooms, helped prep animals for surgery, and observed surgery preparation techniques in general medical procedures. Aside from volunteer work, I was also an employee at Pet Supplies Plus and Happy Pet for almost three years. While working here, I coordinated adoption events, and performed cashier, stock, and animal care positions. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job ! ****** VOLUNTEERING; HANDS ON FEEDING, CLEANING, OBSERVING, TRAINING WITH POSITIVE RE-ENFORCEMENT AND GENERAL INTERACTION WITH ANIMALS Halifax Humane Society Daytona Beach, FL o Performed basic animal care including walking dogs, giving baths, grooming, socializing, and cleaning kennels · Junior Trainer at Marcody Ranch for the Hope Reins horseback riding for the disabled in Samsula, FL o Fed horses and cleaned stalls regularly. o Assisted with farrier work, putting up hay, and general yard work · MSPCA Animal Shelter and Hospital Springfield, MA o Performed basic animal care including walking dogs, giving baths, grooming, socializing, and cleaning kennels. · Oyster Reef and Mangrove restoration o SeaWorld, and Marine Science Center. · Beach Clean-up o SeaWorld, Marine Science Center, and Discovery Center · Other animal related Volunteer work o Sanford Zoo, Jacksonville Zoo, and Brevard Zoo Conservation, preservation, repopulation, and environmental awareness work on my spare time Other Volunteer work/ Career Camps · Behind the scenes of AMK9 in New Smyrna Beach, FL · Behind the scenes at SeaWorld with Dr. Rogers in Orlando, FL · Marcody Ranch New Smyrna Beach, FL · SeaWorld Career Camp Orlando, FL · Busch Gardens Zookeeping 101 Career Camp Tampa, FL · Marine Science Center Ponce Inlet, FL · New Smyrna Discovery Center in New Smyrna Beach, FL
Reviews
Lena was the best sitter we have ever had! We don't use sitters often, so our pup is usually lonely and shy. From the numerous pictures she sent, it looked like he was doing just fine in her care. I would highly recommend!!
Just fantastic. Excellent communication and updates!
Lena was so communicative, prompt, and thorough on every visit. It felt great to know that our pets were so well cared for even when we weren’t there!
Lena was fantastic. My puppy loved her. She did some leash training with him and he’s walking much better!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide these services to you and your pups just as I would to my own pets at home. I want to make sure you and your pet are comfortable.
Information Lena J. would like to know about your pet
Important information that should be passed on to me is if the dog is potty trained, if the dog is on any medication, has any aggressive traits, can or cannot walk on a loose leash, and if there are any triggers that your dog has while on walks (bikes, kids, other dogs, people, squirrels).
A typical day
I can do many different activities with the dogs I walk. These can vary from going to walks around the city center, to trips to the park, to runs in the neighborhood for those pups that need to get that extra energy out!
