Safety, trust & environment

I admit to being very affectionate so I give lots of petting to those cats and dogs who want them. I don’t force myself on anyone but welcome them when they come to me. I offer a free meet and greet to help you decide whether you think I’m the right person to care for your fur baby.

Information Lena M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any triggers for stress (I.e. balloons or fireworks), medical conditions or anything else I should be on the lookout for. I would also like to know which commands your dog responds to (eg sit or come).

A typical day

I’m a firm believer in dogs being mentally stimulated by exploring their surroundings as well as by physically using their muscles. I also believe in playful activities and cuddles for all pets.

Pet care experience

When I was 13 my big dream came true and I got a puppy. I handled all of his care (except the drive to the vet’s) including training and administering his medication. 30 years later I embarked on the same adventure so my son could grow up with a dog. In the meantime I had had 4 cats so I have almost always had a soft fluffy on my lap. I look forward to cuddling with your pet(s) and/or playing with them, depending on what they are in the mood for. If you use a shock collar as the primary way of managing your dog I am not the right person for you.

Lena was very caring and careful with our dogs. We have three different age dogs with very different needs and appreciated Lena having the energy and patience to care for them.

Just got back from a trip and Lena was wonderful with my furry boy. He was well cared for and everything looked great when I returned home

Lena has been working with me to get my disabled dog to walk and I am thankful to have this assistance. Teamwork in action! So thankful to have her as our dog sitter. She is responsible and always responsive when I need to talk to her. Thank you always Lena!

Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
