Pet care experience

Treating your pets like my own!

I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Certified Professional Pet Sitter® with lots of experience with dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. I am also fear-free certified and know how to read stressed or anxious animals. I have volunteered and worked at a cat and dog shelter, so I am accustomed to cleaning, being around animals of varying personalities, and walking dogs with different temperaments and needs. I currently have a rescue dog that came from a dog fighting/hoarding situation so I am used to dogs with anxieties and/or more special behavioral and physical needs. I am passionate about animals and will care for them like my own!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats, a dog, and a turtle at home. One of my cats is crate trained and I make sure to play with both them everyday so they get the stimulation they need. My dog is a senior lady who has a lot of energy and loves going for runs and chasing treats in the dog park.

Leena was so great with our cat, Tall Boy! He seemed to really like her and every picture showed him at ease, which brought me great comfort while I was away. Definitely recommend her!

We’ve had Leena take care of our boys for the second time now and she does a wonderful job. She is so thoughtful and leaves great detailed information on how they have done.

Leena was awesome! We needed a sitter at the last minute for something, and Leena totally pulled through for us. She took tons of photos of our pup when we were gone, and even left her a little bag of treats and a toy as a little surprise! Can't recommend her enough.

Leena is such an amazing sitter! She genuinely cares for your pet as her own. I cannot recommend her enough! I trust her with my pets and will use her as my pet sitter as long as I can!

Leena is the best pet sitter. She is not only an exceptional pet sitter but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She is available to work around my schedule on short notice. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals. We are really happy with Leena’s cat and birds sitting for years but more importantly, our cat Mau and two parakeets love her. They thrived in her care and we came home to a happy, contented cat and two chirpy birds. We appreciated the regular updates and the pictures and that we could absolutely trust her with our animals and our home.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or things that make them afraid or anxious. Additionally, let me know beforehand if they are allergic to anything, like certain treats. As a certified veterinary assistant, I have the training to administer medication if needed!
