Passionate about your heart dog!

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs my entire life! My overwhelming love for dogs came at age 6. I went through puppy training school, read books, memorized facts about every dog breed, and dreamed of having my own dog. I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog walking and pet sitting since age 10. I now have two of my own dogs. I have also been training dogs on the side over the last ten years. I owner-trained my medical alert dog and currently help run a nonprofit that certifies and sends therapy dogs to first responders. I frequently pet sit/dog walk and love it! My love and experience combined make me an excellent choice as a caretaker for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Lena is awesome. It was our first time leaving our pup alone. She cared well and sent us pics too. Lena dropped in the previous day to meet our pup and ease my pup’s anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment

I always keep dogs on leash for their safety and the safety of those around us. If they are in my car, they will be buckled in. I am certified in canine CPR and First Aid and always have a canine trauma kit in my vehicle. I have been trained through the vet's office, the fire department, and a K9 first responder nonprofit.

Information Lena S. would like to know about your pet

I always like to double-check if your pup gets along well with other dogs and if they're housebroken. I'd love to know a little about their personality and what they love to do!

A typical day

I love being outdoors. I have close access to hiking trails. I love taking my dogs on plenty of hikes and to the beach. If your dog can, we'll always include them in our adventures. I also live near a dog park with an open field and an agility course. I love training dogs, so your pup might come home with a few new skills. My dogs and I love to snuggle up and watch movies together after a long day. The more dogs, the merrier!
