Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my whole life. I've lived with schnauzers, retrievers, a shih tzu, a border collie, and an Old English Sheepdog, so literally everything from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. I love how loving and optimistic dogs are and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. My puppy George enjoys dogs of all sizes. I also have cats and enjoy their distinct personalities. I don't take it personally when a new cat doesn't trust me. I DO take it as a challenge. I currently have 3 cats - 2 very chill indoor cats and 1 not-at-all-chill outdoor cat. All three of them are used to dogs. The chill cats actually like playing with dogs. I have had a diabetic cat who required insulin. My sheepdog had arthritis and needed assistance getting up as well as medication with his meals. I am experienced at giving medication to wary pets!

Lea made our first experience with Rover a fantastic one!! She is a friendly, kind, and caring person from our interactions. She responded to my questions in a timely manner and was completely willing to meet ahead of time to make sure her dog and our puppy would do well together. We desired that our labradoodle puppy continue with his daily routine and basic manners training while we were gone, and she was happy to do this as much as possible with her schedule. Lea sent updates and pictures while were away that kept us informed and at ease about his stay. Benson seemed to enjoy his time at Lea's and greatly benefited from interacting with her golden retriever and two cats. We are thankful to have found such a great sitter and have a place for him to play and stay in the future!!

Lea is a responsible human. She previously adopted an old English sheepdog named Alfie. Alfie was high needs: he had to take medicine and he needed help getting up from the floor. She made Alfie really comfortable and he had a wonderful life with her. Lea has a golden retriever named Stella. She has cats. Her cats are used to dogs. Lea has watched my cats for me before and did an excellent job. I would feel so comfortable leaving my pets with Lea.

I have a fenced in backyard. I enjoy long, slow walks, which gives dogs plenty of time to smell everything! I prefer a harness to ensure a dog doesn’t slip out.

Information Lea W. would like to know about your pet

I don't have breed preferences, just personality preferences. I can't have a dog who chases or intimidates cats. I can keep toys and food separate to a certain extent (feeding on opposite sides of the room and trying to keep toys separate), but a strong resource guarding dog would be stressful. My dog is used to having her toys out and she is ok sharing them.

A typical day

I like long walks in residential areas and parks. I throw balls like a girl, but dogs don't seem to mind. I can also toss a frisbee if your dog likes that.
