Pet care experience
I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me to watch their animals while away. I currently dog-sit a neighbor's senior terrier when they leave on vacation. I have a friend that trusts me to watch her older dog as well. Both dogs are age 14 and require some special care and attention. They appreciate the company and cuddles.
Reviews
Leana was on time, and so considerate of my pup on this walk! Making sure she was taken care of and watered, while sending photo updates. Def requesting Leana again!! ❤️
Doggies were very happy for their visit with Leana. She is thoughtful and careful. All we could ask for.
Great report cards and awesome communication. It really helped keep our minds at ease
Leana did everything and more! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and she will be my go to drop-in. Thanks for everything!

Information Leana S. would like to know about your pet
Although I have experience with agressive dogs, I prefer not to be responsible for your dog's safety and others. It might be best to contact a professional trainer. Please let me know if your dog has any special or medical needs that would require additional care. I have experience with elderly dogs.
A typical day
I love hikes, long walks on the beach, playing fetch in the water....looking for a partner with similar interests:) I like walking the trail trail up Walua road. That used to be a favorite of my pup!

I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the agressive dog are kept safe and unharmed! I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels!
