Animal and Zoomies Lover 🐾

Pet care experience

I have been around pets almost my whole life, and the most important thing I have learned is patience and forming a special connection with them so that I can earn their trust. Every animal is different, but I know how to read their personality and how to make sure they’re always comfortable and content. My family has a German Shepherd that I always watch over when needed and I have two cats of my own. I have enjoyed every minute with them being in my life!

Lena did another excellent job taking care of my cat while out of town. I didn’t have to worry knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will schedule Lena for any future visits.

Lena did a great job looking after our two cats. I really appreciated that she came early in the morning and in the evening and came at consistent times.

Lena did an awesome job taking care of my cat while I was away. I felt he was in good hands and I didn’t worry. Will definitely request to book Lena in the future!

Lena’s took incredible care of our boys while we were on vacation out of the country over the week of Thanksgiving. She sent us updates with pictures every day. She also took great care of our home of petsitting. We will definitely reach out to her again to care for our sweet pooches.

Safety, trust & environment

I occasionally watch my friends pets when they need me to. I also watch over my family’s German Shepard when needed. My responsibilities include feeding them, walking, dog sitting, and playing with them outside to get all the zoomies out. When I walk any dogs I make sure that we have a lot of open space to do what they need to do and for them to feel comfortable. I also have have a strict routine with my two cats and this includes feeding them on time, cleaning their litter box, and having play time.

Information Lena M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical conditions or dietary restrictions, or any other health related concerns I need to know. I would also like to know how your dog is with other dogs and people so that we can have the best walks! :)

A typical day

I like to take dogs to more open spaces and fields. I’ll let them smell around since it’s important for dogs to have that stimulation, and do playful activities with them.

If a friend or family member needs me to watch over a pet, I am usually able to take care of them on same day notice. My schedule then would revolve around making sure that the dog/cat is being cared for the way the owner would take care of them. If there is a strict feeding, walking, or dog/cat sitting schedule then I would follow just that. When I take care of my own pets I have a schedule for everything they do so that they know when it’s time for a specific thing. Having routines with a pet is important as it eases them and allows for a healthy lifestyle.
