Animals = Purest Love and Happiness

Pet care experience

Hello :) My name is Olena and I'm one of those people who loves animals and the company of animals ever since I can remember. I grew up surrounded by animals. My family always had house pets in homes and farm animals in farm villages where my grandparents and extended family live, and where I spent all my summers as a kid. In my experience, being around dogs, cats, and animals in general brings so much joy and happiness! They are just a natural force of happy endorphins, positivity, and can turn any bad day into a good day, making you forget all the troubles and negative situations. The waging of that tail and excitement in the eyes is the BEST! I always wanted to work with animals, but unfortunately I'm a bit too sensitive to be able to work in a veterinary field or shelters. So instead I pursued a corporate career, while always volunteering, donating to and supporting rescues and shelters. I recently switched careers from corporate to fitness, which allows me to create my own schedule. So walking, jogging, strolling, and playing with your pup would be a perfect fit. I want to assure you that I am extremely responsible, reliable, and take all my responsibilities very seriously. I respect people's wishes and expectations of me and always deliver above and beyond. Being a pet owner myself, I know the worries every pet parent encounters. I will always treat your fur family member as I would treat my own and follow any rules and guidelines that are given to me. A bit about my fur family members. My partner and I just got a brand new puppy in October 2020, a Mini Goldendoodle named Sniper. I am taking full care of him, training, eating, play dates, walks, etc! My parents currently have one adorable medium sized German Schnauzer, he's 13 years young, and three kitty cats. All our fur family members are friends and bring us so much joy! And a side note - I also know most of the pets where we live, their names, and pawparents. As needed I also watch my neighbors pets ♥️

Olena was so easy to communicate with. She also takes lots of pictures of your pets which was super appreciated! Definitely would recommend!

Olena took very good care of His Majesty Eugene, King of Cats, Keeper of the Nip, Defender of the Nap and Holder of our Hearts. We were gone 6 days and each day Olena made sure Eugene had not just his basic care but real engagement. Olena maintained a good sense of consistency regarding time frames and always sent photos which were especially welcome. Olena must be a true cat-o-phile because Eugene doesn’t warm up to everyone. I can heartily recommend Olena as a top notch Carer of Cats. Thank you Olena!

Olena house-sat my 2 cats for almost 2 weeks and she was amazing! I was nervous at first - having someone in my house, unsure if my cats would be cared for properly, or my cats would destroy the house in rebellion.. but Olena went so above and beyond! She sent me daily updates and pictures and didn’t hesitate to ask questions if I’d forgotten to explain something. My cats love her, it made my trip so much easier knowing they were cared for. Definitely will be using her every time I’m out of town from now on! Thank you Olena!!

Olena is a pleasure to work with. My kitty has taken to her quite well. She was quick to learn to give my cat oral meds and inhalations and was prompt in her communications with me. I’m relieved to find someone dependable and who truly cares.

I would like to know the day to day rules of the parents. What the dog likes or dislikes. What I should watch out for. If the dog has any allergies or anything else that's important for me to know.

A typical day

Walks to the parks around Newport Jersey City or Hoboken, along the waterfront, or wherever you may prefer. I am extremely active and will spend a lot of time outdoors as needed. Playtime inside and outside, doggie parks if you prefer. Whatever the preference of the pet owner is.
