Pet care experience

I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things to do. In that time, I've looked after just about every kind of animal you can think of — dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, seniors, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. The only ones I haven't worked with are horses! I'm comfortable with medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops, injections), special needs care, and adapting routines for pets who need a little extra patience. I've cared for rescue dogs still learning to trust people, helped a senior dog through a UTI by spotting the symptoms early and coordinating with the owner, and stayed calm when a dog in my care was unexpectedly attacked by another dog on a walk — I got him to the vet quickly and he made a full recovery. I don't have pets of my own right now, but on most days I'm out walking, feeding, or hanging out with someone else's. Your pet will get attentive care, plenty of affection, and an honest set of eyes on how they're doing day to day.

Lea is the best dog walker /pet sitter we have ever found. She is smart, personable, and clearly knows a lot about pets and how to handle them effectively. Belle was so excited to meet her. She asked good questions about Belle, her temperament and health conditions. She immediately engaged with Belle. Belle can’t wait for the next visit. What a find! Book Lea before she is booked solid!

Lea was absolutely amazing with our two high energy dogs while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsible, organized, and thoughtful. During our meet and greet she asked all the important questions and made us feel really confident leaving our dogs in her care. While we were away, she gave great updates and kept us informed, which made the whole experience so much less stressful. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs and paid attention to their needs and routines. Most importantly, our puppies absolutely loved her! I would highly recommend Lea to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and caring to watch or walk their pets.

Lea looked after our Heidi for a month while we were overseas. Heidi is a labradoodle who not only received lots of love and cuddles from Lea but also was taken out at least once a day for wonderful long walks, Heidi’s favorite activity. Lea had no trouble with Heidi on or off the lead, beach, street or forest. I would absolutely recommend Lea to anyone looking for a perfect pet companion.

Lea is an excellent pet sitter with a couple of years of experience. She has cared for both dogs and cats and understands their different needs. More importantly, Lea is a kind soul who deeply cares for animals and genuinely enjoys the ability to be around them while also traveling the world. I could not recommend Lea enough as your pet sitter.
