Pet care experience

Active and loving caretaker

I have always been a huge pet lover. I have watched friend’s and neighborhood family dogs frequently since a young age. I can provide care for a variety of pet personalities: lots of exercise and activities for the active pups, as well as love and couch cuddles for the more laid back ones. I am also quite comfortable with nervous and reactive dogs. I have done quite a bit of positive training with my rescue pup. I have a flexible schedule and love going for long walks. I additionally have experience administering medication and can take excellent care of ailing and senior pups. I recently became pet CPR and first aid certified as well. I will be sure to send lots of photos while you're away and communicate all the important things. :)

Lena was absolutely wonderful! Our dog was very happy and relaxed when we returned. And the house was left in perfect shape. She had great communication skills. We certainly hope to use Lena again

Lena was great and made us feel so at ease while we were gone! She sent updates regularly, followed all of our instructions to a tee, and our boys seemed very happy with her!

Schedule

I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I love spending time with your pets and will give them all of the love. My schedule allows me to be there for your pet during the work day, spend the night with them, and provide exercise. I appreciate open communication about your pet's needs and timing. We understand that each pet is unique, and will work around your schedule! I (Lena) mostly do drop ins or housesitting while my partner, John, stays home with our own animals. He will participate if extra hands are helpful :)

I am willing to work with a variety of animals with different needs. I would like to know ahead of time anything where I need to take extra precaution to keep your pet safe. Things such as particularly good escape artists or chewers who like to munch on household items. :) I am totally able to take on reactive or nervous dogs. I would like to know what kinds of methods you use to help out your nervous pup, such as engage/disengage games, marker words, decompression or whatever ways you help out your pup.
