Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of my and not only mine pets since my 1st grade. In my childhood I’ve rescued 10+ animals from the streets. I am a pet groomer(dogs, cats, horses) so after boarding I can give you an advice about grooming if you want. I am a high sensitive person and thanks to this I can understand what does you pet need right now
Reviews
Olena asks outstanding questions and knows how to get the information she needs to be as effective as possible. She loves pets and they love her! I would not hesitate to hire Olena again and hope that, when needed, other sitters will be as thorough and impressive and Olena!
Great dog-sitter. Everything went smoothly, definitely will use again
I can’t say enough good things about Olena. Very thorough and prepared, very attentive to our pet’s needs. Just fantastic!
Olena is a WONDERFUL cat and dog sitter and dog walker. We have three cats, and when we go away (and take the dog), she stays overnight with them. She is extremely conscientious and really cares about animals. Plus she is very knowledgeable, as she is also a groomer and has had extensive training caring for animals. One of our pets is very shy and hides when new people come, but little Scooter loved Olena immediately. Olena takes her pet care very seriously. This is her chosen profession; it's not something she just does to make extra money or as a temporary gig while trying to do something else. She is very honest and clean, too. When we return, everything is very tidy. Plus every day she sends pictures of what our pets are doing and written explanation of how they spent their day. It's actually honest and detailed narrative, not the made up perky but empty one-liner quips that some pet care givers send just to sound good. We have used Olena to help with our pets 7 or 8 times already and we highly recommend her!!

First of all I am asking about the instructions for the every pet. Then I will ask you where do you have the first aid kit. My style of working is to understand the regular lifestyle of the pet and to provide as much as possible the same atmosphere around. I like to watch how the pet is acting and then due to this to find something we can do together. I am reading books about pet psychology because I am interested in this. I will feed your pet, walk if required or clean the litter, if you have flowers I can do that too. I like to live in clean houses so I will keep your place pretty clean. I can also keep your mail and deliveries. I am interested to keep your home in the same condition for you when you come back. I am from Ukraine and I know the price of work and of life
Information Olena M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your pet preferences and special needs if he/she has them. I need to know about the allergies and if the pet has some kind of “trigger zone” on the body. Also please tell me if your pet is rescued
A typical day
I am happy to give your pet the choice of what he wants to do at a particular moment. I love physical and mental activity and I enjoy doing it with animals. I have the gift of understanding an animal and realizing from the signals of its body what is the need and desire right now. So if I see that your dog needs to run - great! We will go to run

Availability
