Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. For overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe and comforted throughout the night, sticking closely to their usual schedule. During drop-in visits, I give them focused attention, clean up after them, and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable before I leave. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Information Lehia E. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about your dog or cats temperament, and any quirks they have. How they normally react to strangers or any details to make their time away from you more comforting and calm for them.

A typical day

For dogs, taking them for walks and letting them explore all the smells. Playing with toys in the house or backyard if available. For cats, depending on their needs but my cats love to play with a laser or enjoy cat nip. I do want to note that if booked for house-sitting, I won't be able to spend the full day at your house with your pet unless we arrange for full/part-time daycare (additional fees apply). I'm happy to do a typical work-day arrangement usually after 4pm until the next morning, and can on occasion stop in for afternoon potty breaks, if requested.

Pet care experience

I started house/baby/pet-sitting right our of high school. We have 4 cats of our own and have fostered several others. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family, because they are. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, clean and make sure your fur-baby feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine if requested, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. I'm a responsible adult and will care about your pets AND your space as if it's my own. I want you to come home from your travels to things having been taken care of and clean, with attention to details: cleaned bowls, clean litter boxes and floors swept.

Lehia took on a lot with our old dog, medicine 3x/day, old did antics and set in his ways. She communicated extremely well and we felt diesel was in safe and secure hands. Highly recommend her

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.
