Availability

I just recently moved back to the twin-cities area for work, but will be taking a few weeks off to settle in and visit family, and would love to hangout with some furry friends for the next few weeks! I’m available most days to hangout with your pets at your home or have them join me on some adventures for the day :) I will have open availability until July 14th and then after July 14th limited availability working around my new work schedule.

I love to to go on walks with your pet around your neighborhood and take pets on a field trip to nearby parks in the area if permitted by owners. I like to discuss normal schedule for your pet when your home to keep it as similar as possible :) For overnight or multiple day visits I like to provide daily updates such as photos and videos of your pet for you so you can stay updated on how your fur baby(s) are doing.

Information Lecia M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any medication(s) they take, medical conditions, typical diet and overall general routine as I feel providing a similar routine for your pet can minimize anxiety and nervousness if shy around new people.

A typical day

I aim to provide your pet with mental and physical stimulation that matches their daily routine as close as possible. I'm very flexible in terms of how much outside play time and walks your pet wants, we can go on 2 walks a day or 4 walks plus park time if that's what you pet prefers. For mental stimulation I have experience with play enrichment, puzzle toys, and basic command training . My favorite park so far to walk around is Como Regional Park because it's a nice mild walk for dogs of all ages and provides some socialization for them, but not overcrowded with people so no pet gets overwhelmed.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of a wide age range of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I've completed basic puppy training with several dogs, such as potty training, leash training, crate training, tactical obedience, and other skills requested by owners. I also have experience with senior pet-care such as medication regimes, low stress exercise, and going to vet visits with the pet. I'm currently a veterinary student at CSU and have three years of veterinary technician/assistant experience in shelter, community, emergency and private practice so I'm comfortable with medical treatments (as directed by your family veterinarian) such as SQ fluids, medication administration, injections, nail trimmings etc.

This was my first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with Lecia! We have an older dog that needs medications and special food so it gave us peace of mind that she was our sitter! Lecia was also very accommodating to do an extra feeding when our plane home got cancelled. We would definitely hire her again!

Lecia was so kind, communicative, and patient when watching our timid pup. We were so appreciative of her understanding and willingness to work with us to make sure we were all comfortable before and during our trip! I would highly recommend Lecia to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Lecia was communicative with me, and kind and patient with our timid pup. We appreciated the time she took to get to know Violet before a longer trip.

We were gone from 6:30am to 8:00pm and Lecia stayed with our two dogs all day! We came home to happy pups and a clean home! She was very nice and informative, which was great for us! She sent lots of photos and videos, too! Our pups had a lot of fun with her and we would absolutely rebook with her in the future! Thanks 😁

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.
