Information Lea F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: feeding habits, bathroom habits, special dietary or medical needs, any separation anxiety issues, how vocal they are, whether they get along with children or other dogs. I do not have kids, but my nieces/nephew (ages 10, 6, 5 and 2) come over to visit often, so I prefer not accept any dogs that do not get along with children.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will walk around our neighborhood and along the San Lorenzo community center lake or the Marina Your dog's sleeping arrangement I try to replicate the same accommodations as you do, so depending on your pet's comfort they can either snuggle in my bed or on their pet bed or in the safety of their crate. Time I'll spend with your dog When pet sitting, I really try to limit any extra curricular activities so that I can spend as much time with your dog as possible. But I do work full time, so I will be in my home office from 9-5 with plenty of time for potty breaks and play time at lunch!

One on one care 💜

Pet care experience

I have been an active dog sitter for over 22 years and have loved welcoming new furry friends into my life. I only accept one pet family at a time, so your pet is always my #1 guest! I have a very walkable neighborhood and a large deck for relaxing in the sun. Why I love dog sitting My earliest memory is of chasing after dogs at the beach and playing fetch with them. We were not allowed to have dogs growing up because of my brother's asthma, so I have been spending my adult life trying to make up for lost time. I have been dog sitting for 20+ years now and have experience with a large assortment of breeds and temperaments. My pet sitting experiences have truly given me the best job on the planet. My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered medication to cats, dogs and hedgehogs.

Lea was absolutely amazing! She has a beautiful home and was so loving towards our pup. She sent so many fun photos we know he had an amazing time. Can't recommend her enough!!

Lea was amazing with Lula! We appreciated all the photos and check-ins from Lea during Lula's week stay as it made us feel that Lula was in good hands. Communications with Lea was super easy - she was clear and prompt with her replies. Highly recommend Lea as a sitter, and will happily have her watch Lula in the future.

Lea took wonderful care of our 16-year old pup, Kazie. We feel safe and confident every time Kazie visits Lea for her stay-cation. Our senior dog comes home anxiety-free which helps us keep up with Kazie. Lea is a gem experienced sitter with wonderful communication practices. If your doggie gets accepted to come visit Lea, you’ll find out why she’s the Rover MVP 🏆

Lea kept Prince, our Pomeranian, for a week while we were on vacation attending a family reunion. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and notes daily on how Prince is doing. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Seeing him relaxed and happy assured us he felt right at home! We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you so much, Lea! Prince misses you already! 🥰
