Hi! I’m Elena, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I grew up with my grandparents’ English Setter, Rocky, who was by my side from the day I was born, so some of my happiest childhood memories involve having a four-legged best friend around. Later, my family rescued Alaska, our cat, when she was just one month old and raised her from a tiny kitten. Today I live with my own cat, Zuki, whom we adopted at 2 years old — she’s now 4 and very much a pillar of our little family!

While I don’t have professional pet-care experience, I have a lifetime of experience living with and caring for animals. I genuinely love being around them — making an animal feel happy, safe and loved brings me just as much joy as it seems to bring them.

I believe every pet is different, so my care is always tailored to their normal routine and personality. Visits can include feeding and fresh water, walks, litter cleaning, playtime, cuddles, quiet company or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I’m also very happy to send you photos and little updates!

I’m most comfortable caring for cats and small to medium-sized dogs. I prefer to only take on pets I’m confident I can care for safely and properly, so you can trust that I’ll always be honest about whether I’m the right sitter for your pet.

I work on a rotating roster, which actually gives me flexibility across both weekdays and weekends. I can travel to your home and can also stay overnight when needed.

Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the patience, attention and affection I would want someone to give my own. ❤️🐾
