Did someone say W-A-L-K?

Pet care experience

I have been a life long pet lover ever since my first dog, a chow chow named Angel, was added to my family in 1993. I am currently a fur mom of two: a senior three-legged bugg named Bug and an American Bully named Peanut. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, such as giving medication, and will adopt different walk lengths/difficulties based on the dogs’ needs or abilities. I have walked reactive dogs and do so using positive reinforcement and redirection (as well as plenty of diet-approved treats!). I understand that just as each pet’s personality is different, so are their dietary restrictions. Did you know a dog could be allergic to chicken? I didn’t until Garth came into my life. I prioritize safety above all else. Your pets are in safe hands.

Lena was great with our older dog. Great checking photos and communication. Would highly recommend her for drop in visits.

Lena was so conscientious and asked great questions about how to care for Toddy. Really appreciated the check in!

Great communication and my pup warmed up quickly. He was tired and happy when he got back from his one-hour walk.

Information Lena M. would like to know about your pet

Things I would like to know: how do they do on a leash? What commands do they know? Do they have any disabilities or areas on their body I should not touch? Do they have dietary restrictions? How are they around other dogs? Do they have a favorite activity?

A typical day

My favorite places to walk are around the neighborhood or hiking a section of forest park. I enjoy taking my dogs to Chimney park (and I understand not all dogs do well/enjoy dog parks).
