Loving, Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

With over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs — from daily walks to overnight stays — I bring reliability, warmth, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. As a pet parent myself to a beloved cat, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My background as a nanny has also given me a special touch for following routines and providing gentle, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a playful stroll, cozy company, or just a dependable friend while you’re away, I’m here to help keep them happy and safe.

Leala is simply the best! She always takes wonderful care of my 2 cats Charm and Nimsey. She plays with them, brushes them, and keeps them fed and cleaned up after. Simply the best!

Leala, is wonderful and kind with animals. She is the only person I ever want to take care of my cats when I have to go out of town. She's watched them for multiple weeks and always done a wonderful job.

I have had Leala watch my pups and cat. She was excellent with them and they really enjoyed her company while I was away. She kept me posted on anything going on with them and sent pics/videos. I felt very comfortable knowing my gang was in good and experienced hands. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs

Leala is wonderful! She is so sweet and honest. We have a kitty who is a bit aggressive and she handles her with grace and kindness. She didn’t hesitate to jump on board and take care of her while we were away. She’s also responsible with pet medication, which is a huge relief. When we come home our kitties are loved on and the house is in perfect order. I also feel like I can trust her in our home, which is huge. It’s very personal to have someone in your home, watching your babies. I feel at ease and can enjoy being away knowing our kitties are in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I follow instructions carefully for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I respect the home by keeping things tidy, cleaning up after the pets (and myself), and making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. My goal is to minimize stress for the pet by providing calm, reliable care in an environment they know well.

Information Leala H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me in advanced if your furry friend has any special quirks or needs that I can meet. I love to come prepared as much as possible!

A typical day

I love being outside and playing as much as your dog. I don't mind stopping at every bush or getting dirty rolling around playing tug-of-war. I am grateful for the opportunity to stimulate dog physically and mentally with games of catch, tag, hide-and-seek, and more!

Pet care is a regular part of my day. As a cat owner, I already have daily routines built around feeding, cleaning, and spending time with animals. Walking dogs or checking in on other pets fits naturally into my schedule, and my background as a nanny means I’m used to planning days around specific needs and routines. This helps ensure each pet gets consistent, attentive care without disrupting their comfort or routine.
