Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance to me. You, the owner, know best about their care and with your help, I can love on your pets with a routine that’s familiar to them and within their boundaries. Also seeing as I may be in your home, I’m very sensitive to a client’s boundaries and will always check in for permission for things around the house.

Information Lea R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for, such as reactivity to other dogs, chases small animals, separation anxiety, etc. Letting me know about your pets helps me help you!

A typical day

I love to train dogs, so let me know what gets your dogs excited! Whether it's food or toys, I'd love to engage with and tire your dog out so they're fulfilled mentally and physically. We could go to the park, on a hike, or just a neighborhood walk.

Pet care experience

Hey there! I want the best for your pets! When you can’t be there to care for them, I’m the extra hand you need to carry out their care just the way you’d like it. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, you name it! If your pup has specific care needs, I can assist while you’re away. I do have a dog of my own so if your dog needs a playmate, let me know! If a booking of over 5 hours long is required, Meelo would be coming along with me. He is a 23-lb shih-tzu/poodle mix and well-trained! Please note when booking that the rate for pets who require Constant Care (cannot be left alone and need 24/7 supervision,) is different from House-sitting. Constant Care is when the pet cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours, or at all. Regular house-sitting is staying the night, then checking in a few times a day (gone 4+ hours)!

Lea was great. She met with us ahead of time just to make sure we are a fit. She sent pictures to us throughout the day. Highly recommend her!

Lea was exceptional!!! On a last minute request, she was so kind to watch our pomsky Mia and our cat Max, they both adored her. She was so loving and caring to the both of them. Our dog Mia has some separation anxiety issues, and she handled it so well while we were gone. She was patient, loving, and absolutely trustworthy. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. I will definitely be hiring Lea again!!

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.
