Information Yelena B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know routines and any training that you are working on. Whether it be simple commands, staying off the furniture, reactivity, or fun tricks for mental stimulation.

I love to walk dogs and play their favorite games with them. I can also keep them company during the day and study remotely if they need more than 30-60 minute visit.

Passionate Pet Care Professional

Pet care experience

I am a long time animal lover. I enjoy the company of all animals and have a passion for working with rescue dogs. I would be happy to care for you pet and treat him or her with the respect, love and attention they deserve. I have some experience training aggressive and energetic dogs at an obedience school. Breeds included pitbulls, bull dogs, mastifs, and pinschers. I also have several years of experience working with foster dogs and rescue organizations. I have rehabilitated dogs, mostly adult and seniors, from neglectful situations, living on the street and/or intense medical conditions. I will be a patient care giver for your fur baby and understand that pet sitting is never a cookie cutter situation. I also have experience with caring for cats and kittens.

Yelena was incredibly kind, communicative, and reliable. Our dog has some quirks and health issues, and she handled it all with confidence and positivity. We appreciated getting frequents messages and pictures during our time away, and she even treated our dog to a new toy during her stay! We felt very comfortable having her take care of our home and dog while we were out of town.

We were so happy to have Yelena watch our babies during our wedding. She sent periodic updates and followed instructions we left. She’s awesome and we can’t wait to have her stay again in the future!

Yelena is a great dog sitter. She is responsible and reliable. She sent regular updates and photos each day. She fed the dogs, gave them attention, and took them on walks. We have used her before and plan to use her again in the future!

Look no further - Yelena is seriously the best sitter I have hired. She cared for my girl just as I would and I felt totally comfortable being away from home. Yelena followed any instruction left, and was intuitive with her care. She genuinely took the time to get to know my cat and provide her with tailored care. 10/10
