Availability

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.

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.

Information MaryElena G. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

A typical day starts with checking in on your pet’s routine — feeding, fresh water, playtime, and a few minutes of affection to start things right. I make sure litter boxes are clean, medication (if needed) is given on schedule, and there’s time for gentle play or cuddles depending on their mood. I keep their space tidy and stress-free, give regular updates and photos, and always end each visit ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and secure before I go.

Reliable, trusted pet sitting!

Pet care experience

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!
