Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home as a coach, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of quiet time to spend with your fur baby. I enjoy being fully present with the animals I care for, and I don't rush through visits.

I provide a calm, secure, and clean environment where everyone feel safe and relaxed. At my home, there are sunny spots to nap, cozy hiding places, and no loud distractions. I take time to observe each dog and cat's unique personality and needs, allowing trust to grow naturally.

I offer regular updates, photos, and videos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

Information Lei C. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know anything that helps your pet feel safe, understood, and at ease. Please share their: + Daily routine & feeding schedule + Personality (shy, energetic, cuddly, independent, etc.) + Medical conditions, medications, or allergies Behavioral quirks (e.g. scared of loud noises, doesn't like being picked up, door dashing) +Environment preferences (energetic playtime or calming spots) +Typical reaction to new people and situations The more I know, the better I can tailor their care and create a calm, comforting experience while you're away.

A typical day

Each day is thoughtfully tailored to your pet’s personality and routine. For dogs, that might mean morning walks, relaxed sniffing time, long walks, play in the park, and plenty of companionship throughout the day, whether it’s fetch, belly rubs, or a cozy nap nearby. For cats, I offer a calm, safe space with sunny windows, quiet companionship, and respectful attention. Some cats want interactive play, brushing, or lap time, others just want someone nearby who understands their rhythm. I let trust build naturally. And of course, regular photo/video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is that I keep my boarding intentionally small and personal. I host just one dog at a time (or two from the same household), so your pet never has to compete for attention or navigate a house full of unfamiliar dogs. This creates a calmer, more predictable experience, especially for senior dogs, sensitive dogs, or pets who are used to being the only animal at home. I work from home as a life coach, which means your pet has companionship throughout the day and a flexible routine tailored to their needs. Whether they enjoy long walks, quiet naps in a sunny spot, playing fetch, or belly rubs, they're treated as an individual rather than one of many guests. Many of my clients become repeat visitors, which I consider the greatest compliment. My goal is simple: to create a safe, comfortable place where your pet can settle in, relax, and feel at home while you're away.

Lei was terrific! She was so thoughtful in her questions and preparation for having CousCous stay with her. She sent the best photos and was very communicative during the stay. I highly recommend!!

Bear had another incredible stay with Lei. Lei is very attentive, caring and active with Bear. He enjoys the time they spend together taking long walks, experiencing new adventures and snuggling on the couch after a full day of play. Our family is always at ease when Lei is caring for Bear- she is the best!!

Lei was wonderful with Augie! She was so patient as he adjusted to new surroundings, and I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. I loved receiving the updates and pictures made me feel at ease knowing he was in such good hands.

Lei is a fantastic sitter!! Lei sent daily photos and videos of our pup Bear. She took him on daily walks, plenty of play time & new adventures. Lei is very attentive and showered Bear with cuddles & belly rubs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby & would rebook with her for any future dates.
