We had Elena come stay at our house for a few days while we were out of town to take care of our two dogs. She gave regular updates (and pictures) on how the dogs were doing, so we could enjoy our trip without stressing over how the dogs were doing. She played with them and exercised them more than we do, if I'm honest. My dogs are usually skittish around new people, but they both love her now, and we will definitely be asking Elena to dog sit again the next time we need to go out of town.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Providing companionship • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Elena took care of our cat while we were abroad for the holidays. She was very responsive, professional, and accommodating. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets, Elena is an excellent choice.

Clearly not interested in doing dog care. I didn’t even give her the dates or the time frame and she responded curtly with “I only do 2 night minimum”… I have 2 nights of pet care needed. She took no time to find out if the job suited her. She just “checked out” as fast as she could clearly because she does not want the work. She could have just replied that this fall is too busy for her and she can’t handle more dog sitting. I do NOT recommend her. Why be on this site if you act burdened my a job inquiry.

Elena was reliable and did everything we asked of her. Cats were happy, clean and well-fed when we returned.
