Pet care experience

Reliable, trusted pet sitting!

Hi, my name is Elena! I have lived in Atlanta for a long time now and know all the best walking paths. I have always had a dog and cat in my life. I grew up with two, sweet labs, Rainbow and Moses, when I was little. Now I have a corgi, Goose, that lives with my boyfriend and me. I love taking care of animals. I have a lot of experience dog sitting for friends and neighbors. I know how important it is to maintain a routine with dogs. I love getting to know dogs and giving them all the tender loving care I can while their owners are away. I am reliable and energetic. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful puppy or cat!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s established routine and make sure their environment feels calm and familiar. I keep doors locked, double-check leashes and gates, and take time to earn every pet’s comfort and confidence. I keep things tidy, respectful, and secure in your home, and I treat every animal with the same care I give my own cats.

Elena did a fantastic job looking after my two cats! She was communicative and helpful while I was away for the week. I came back to two very happy cats. I’d definitely recommend her!

We had a great experience! Elena did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away and provided detailed updates after each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We felt confident that our cat was well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!

Mary Elena was an amazing sitter! She was so patient with Biscotti while my kitten waited a few visits to open up. Mary Elena was very communicative and sent the best updates and pictures. I had no doubt that Biscotti was in great hands while I was away. Will definitely book again!

Elena was a patient and kind sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my very shy cat Lizzy got her medicine twice daily. She was communicative and I really appreciated the recaps and pictures each visit. Would recommend her for anyone who needs a cat sitter.

Schedule

Even with a full-time job, I make plenty of time for pet sitting because caring for animals is something I truly love. My husband and I are always in town for every major holiday, which means I’m available when many families are traveling. I never take on more clients than I can give my full attention to. When your pets are with me, they’re my priority and cared for like family.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
MaryElena can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Before any booking, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s daily routine, favorite activities, and personality. Please share any health concerns, allergies, medications, or behavioral quirks so I can keep them comfortable and safe. I also like to know their preferred feeding times, litter box habits, and how they respond to new people or sounds. The more I know, the smoother and happier their care experience will be.
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.
