Pawsitively Passionate Pet Lover!

Pet care experience

We have two Dalmatians, 3 and 2 year old, both show dogs. Training them has sharpened our skills in puppy training. We’ve also fostered various breeds, juggling multiple dogs with different vibes. We offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, making sure each pup gets tons of love and fun. From fetch to park trips, I keep dogs engaged and happy. With our hands-on experience and genuine passion for dogs, your furry friends will get the best care, loads of attention, and plenty of belly rubs!

Elena stayed with our nervous girl Pearl for a week. Elena went above and beyond to make sure Pearl felt comfortable with her and provided top notch care for Pearl and our home while away. Elena observed that Pearl needs time to warm up slowly and on her own terms and gave Pearl plenty of space to do so. I was a bit on edge at first leaving Pearl with a sitter but within 24 hours Pearl had completely warmed up to Elena and was very comfortable and content, and I immediately stopped worrying! Elena provided lots of updates, videos, and photos throughout each day we were gone. We came home to a tidy home and very relaxed and content dog. I will hire Elena again in a heartbeat to watch my special girl Pearl. Elena has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had and put all of our nerves at ease quickly and confidently!

Elena took care of our Corgi for five days while we were on a family vacation. She did a great job. Lots of pictures and good communication. House very neat and clean when we arrived home. Our puppy loved Elena. Highly recommend.

Elena was great! My 60 lb standard poodle is very leary of strangers, however, he instantly bonded with Elena and fell all over her, which he has never done with anyone before. I was very comfortable having her stay in my home caring for our fur babies. I highly recommend this dog sitter and will be using her often in the future to care for our babies in our home.

I cannot say enough good things about Nick and Elena! They are true professionals and my 3 pets love them! I returned home to 2 content dogs and a happy cat. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were away!
