Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one-bedroom apartment in a walk-friendly neighborhood. I walk my dog 3-4 times a day, going on a few different routes around the neighborhood. I would happily walk your dog as frequently as needed. My dog is rather calm and lazy, but when he’s feeling playful, I’ll gladly drop what I’m doing to play with him with his various toys. There are also several dog parks in the area that I am happy to walk to so that my dog (and yours) can run around freely. Whatever you and your dog’s needs are, I’ll gladly work to accommodate.

Information Lea d. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog interacts with other dogs, strangers, and around cars. Also let me know if your dog has any special needs I may need to accommodate.

A typical day

I love to walk my dog, who especially enjoys sniffing all the smells around the neighborhood. I have several dog toys as well, with which we play catch or tug-of-war. There are dog parks nearby, so the dogs can play and run around freely with other dogs or myself.

Stay-at-Home Dog Mom and Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, always having at least one in my family’s household. Before fully moving into my own apartment, I rescued my fur baby. For the past three years, he has been the most loving companion, and I’m so lucky that he’s mine. Taking care of my dog (and yours) is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I am committed to providing excellent care and unconditional love to these sweet pets.

Lea was great with flash! She sent me pictures throughout the entire day and her dog Neo became best friends with my dog. I will definitely be using her again!

Lea did a wonderful job caring for my animals and followed all of my instructions perfectly. Communication was excellent—always responsive, timely, and reliable. The genuine affection shown toward my pets was just as warm and welcoming as Lea’s personality. I would absolutely recommend Lea’s services and would happily rebook in the future.

Lea was an excellent rover who showed a lot of compassion towards Miley. She took her on various adventures, gave her the attention she needed, and even gifted her with a bone. Miley also got along very well with her dog. I recommend anyone looking for a sitter to book with Lea!

Highly recommend Lea! She’s reliable, kind, and fit. Her well-behaved pitbull mix, Neo proves her expertise. She is responsible, friendly, and truly amazing with all dogs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
