Availability

My schedule varies throughout the week, allowing me to offer flexible care options. I am typically home on weekends and available to provide daycare services during that time. During weekdays, I am in and out of the house, which is well-suited for boarding arrangements. At most, your pet may be left at home for approximately 2–4 hours at a time, with regular breaks in between. When I am away, pets are safely separated and monitored via camera, and I remain within a 10-minute radius to respond quickly if needed. As I balance both virtual and in-office meetings, I aim to minimize scheduling conflicts. Preferred drop-off and pick-up times are before 8:00 AM and after 4:30 PM. However, I am happy to accommodate alternative times with advance notice.

Safety, trust & environment

The entire home is pet-friendly, with an open, welcoming, and low-stress environment for all guests. At times, there may be additional dogs boarding (typically no more than 3–4), but each pet is provided with their own designated space to ensure comfort and security. Spare bedrooms are thoughtfully set up as private boarding suites, complete with gates for added safety. Pets also have access to a large, fully fenced yard where they can run, play, and socialize with other dogs under supervision. Since dogs are welcome to roam the home freely and relax on shared furniture and blankets, I kindly ask that all pets arrive clean and well-groomed at drop-off.

Home away from home. Weekend care.

Pet care experience

We genuinely love animals and provide our services out of a true passion for their care and well-being. Our home is designed to be both comfortable and engaging, creating a fun and welcoming environment for every pet. I share my home with a friendly hound who enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives in a social setting. With over a decade of experience caring for my own pets—and many more years caring for others—you can feel confident that your pet is in capable and attentive hands. Our goal is to offer a reliable, safe, and nurturing environment for your pet. We also strive to be flexible, offering last-minute bookings as well as weekend daycare and boarding whenever possible.

Yelena is, without a doubt, our go-to pet sitter! We always feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care because we know they’ll be loved and treated like family. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely affectionate with them, and it shows in every interaction. What truly sets Yelena apart is how far she goes to keep us connected while we’re away. She sends thoughtful updates, wonderful photos, and little comments about how our dogs are doing, which gives us tremendous peace of mind and lets us enjoy our time away without worrying. Her communication is outstanding, and it’s obvious she truly cares about every pet she looks after. We couldn’t recommend Yelena more highly. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our dogs. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Yelena is simply the best!

My wife and I are pleased with Yelena watching both our dogs. I also like that she sent plenty of pics while we were gone.

Yelena took excellent care of our elderly dog. She had methods to encourage Olivia to eat when she first got to Yelena’s house. She knew that Olivia would be sleeping most of the time with little interaction with other dogs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
