About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

About: In the past I have... 🐾Helped take care of my Sister's Golden Retriever when I was in elementary school/high school. 🐾Taken care of my dog that was half Golden Retriever/Rottweiler when I was in high school/college. When I started making money for myself, I provided my dog Blue Wilderness food from Petco or Petsmart according to my dog's age. I also provided a car ramp and my old bed when my dog got old. I still remember the days when I would go to pet-friendly restaurants with my dog. I am now 38 y/o. 🐾Helped take care of my Parents' 2 Beagles in adulthood. 🐾When my Husband was younger, he also had experience taking care of his Doberman/Bloodhound. 🐾Hubby and I both love dogs! We also have 1 child together that is 3 y/o and gentle. Our Daughter also loves dogs! I have decided this time around I can be a pet-sitter over the weekends & extended due to federal holidays. I wanted to prepare my Daughter for school coming up soon, so this pocket money will help, fortunately with me and my Husband's dog expertise. 🗓I am normally available to pet-sit/go out with your dog from Friday evening when I get home - Monday evening (sometimes Tuesday evening if there is a federal holiday on Monday). If you need longer pet-sitting, please communicate with me and I'll coordinate to make it work out with my Hubby to back-up. My Mom already helps baby-sit our toddler. 🏡I have a fenced yard. If you believe your dog can hop the fence, I can provide a dog tie cable. I don't like keep dogs out too long unattended unless I'm with them due to other animals, outside temperature, etc. I care for dogs like I care for my toddler. I usually take dogs out for restroom 4x or more depending if they are showing signs they want to go outside to use the grass for restroom.

Lei was absolutely AMAZING! She came to our home to meet our dogs, learn their routines and quirks, and connect on expectations. She had great questions that made me feel confident in her attention and commitment to caring for our dogs. Both pups came home so relaxed and ready for naps, which we appreciated after a long travel day. Lei provided a few updates while we were gone as well; which was appreciated. I cannot recommend a better sitter in the area, she will absolutely treat your pets like her own.

Sonia and Dayana took such amazing care of our pup, Nala, while we were away in Italy for a week. Leaving your dog behind for that long is never easy, but they made us feel completely comfortable from the start. They were so loving, attentive, and thoughtful with her, and it was obvious that Nala was happy and well cared for the entire time. We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and the genuine care they showed her. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We are so grateful to both of them and would absolutely trust them with Nala again in the future. Highly recommend!

Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.
