Pet care experience
As a dog-owner who used to train for marathons with her two very energetic dogs - an Australian Shepherd-Border Collie mix named Snickers and a yellow lab named Ollie - I’m all about giving your dog the exercise and engagement they need (so they’re not expending that energy on tearing up the household furniture!) I have experience using different collars and leashes and want to give your dog the time to sniff and “read the news” on walks, while avoiding aggressive leash behavior, like pulling. As a full-time engineer at Google, I’m mostly available on weekends, but also Tuesdays and Fridays after 3pm. It goes without saying, I believe in positive over negative reinforcement - hugs, petting, verbal encouragement - and I have much experience navigating hairy situations like running into an aggressive dog (or human) on a walk. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions!
Reviews
Simply put, Lea is fantastic!
Lea is one of the best sitters we have had for our puppy Appa. She is kind, professional, and patient. I couldn't recommend a better dog sitter.
Leah was great! She took my dog on a little run/walk and sent lots of pictures, which I appreciated! She even made sure she had enough water when she got back. Would definitely recommend her!
I have not met anyone who loves dogs as much as Lea. We have two furbabies: a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd and a Lab/Great Pyrenees. They are very active, and love their walks. Lea is very good at walking both of them at the same time. She will run them when asked to get them good and tired! She allows them to discover their surroundings with a lot of sniffing time. She loves on my dogs as if they were her babies. My dogs love her. I highly recommend her!!!

Information Lea C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any health concerns, as well as if they have a history of aggression with other dogs or humans. There’s little I can’t handle, but it’s good to know.
A typical day
I live 2 minutes away from Dolores Park, but the places I prefer are the ones that don’t have so much overstimulation. I regularly walk a friend’s lab, and we enjoy taking a Lyft or Uber down to the Marina and walking the long straight along the ocean. There’s a lot of nice grass for the dogs to roll in, not to mention a doggy beach! However, I’m open to staying in areas convenient for the owner.
