Pet care experience

Caring dog mom with a fenced yard

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.

We had such a great experience with our sitter! She took such wonderful care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay with lots of pictures and updates. They also got plenty of walks and attention, which we really appreciated. The biggest thing for us was how comfortable and happy our dogs seemed when we picked them up. They weren’t anxious or scared at all, and it was obvious they had felt safe and well cared for. It truly felt like she treated them like her own, and I’m so grateful for that. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use Yelena again!

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!
