About Alena
I live near Fort York and accept new clients within Roncesvales-Bloor-Yonge-Queens Quay area.
I've been taking care of my friend's and acquaintance's pets for years and find it very rewarding. I developed long-term relationships with many cats and dogs, and they each have a special place in my heart. I can't have my own pet for different reasons, but friendships with animals make me truly happy.
It fascinates me how different and unique all the animals are, with their innate dispositions and acquired habits. I like to understand the special needs of every animal I take care of and enjoy finding ways to connect with them. Some need more space, others a lot of attention which I can happily provide. If they enjoy it, I'd be glad to play with them, brush and pet. If not I will try my best to make them feel comfortable and I'll follow provided instructions regarding their preferences.
I have experience with big and small dog breeds, taking care of senior cats as well as feeding baby kittens from a bottle, looking after birds and bunnies. I can administer oral medication, insulin injections and eye drops. I equally love former strays and spoiled furry babies and try to minimize stress of change for every animal.
I know how hard it is to separate with a beloved pet, and I provide daily updates with photos and videos, so the owners can have peace of mind. Minimum time for visit or walk is 30 min but i often try to spend more time with the animal in order to connect with them better.
I'm a quiet person and I'm respectful to the places I'm visiting or staying. I understand that it's not easy to let a stranger into your home, but I hope I can continue to prove myself as a responsible care taker and find long term connections through Pawshake.
