Caring dog mom with a fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown in my adulthood even more. I currently have a 1 year old mini Schnauzer pup, Max, and a small parrot, Kesha. In the past, I've cared for various dog breeds, birds, and bunnies. I have a passion for working with and understanding more about all types of animals and their specific needs. I am currently working part time, and have plenty of time to spend my free time with pets at my house. I consider pets like a family member, so I am happy to spend plenty of time to take good care of them, provide the required exercise and accommodate any special needs based on your requests. I have a 13 year old son that is primarily at home during non-school hours - he does well with dogs and other pets. I have a private home with a fenced yard, so it is a safe environment for your pet to play in if they like to be outside. Given I have my own dog, your pet should get along with other dogs and like play time. I also have a nice trail next to my house, and we can spend some time exploring it together.

Yelena is great! Lots of walks! She sends pictures and videos and Wrigley is happy and well cared for with Yelena. She is also very accommodating and so easy to work with!

Yelena was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Moka! We were away on a lengthy trip and appreciated the updates with pictures. Moka was so loved. Highly recommend Yelena and will be using her again!

Yelena took great care of my pup while I was away for a long weekend! She sent pictures everyday confirming walks, that Willow ate and lots of cuddles! Would definitely recommend-gave me such peace of mind knowing someone was loving my girl like their own!!
