15 Years of Dog Care You Can Trust

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10—walking, feeding, bathing, and giving them all the love they deserve. Over the past 15 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I’m confident with puppies who need patience and playtime, as well as seniors who need a gentler touch and consistent routines. I always take time to learn each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel at home—even when they’re not.

Leila was so so great watching Pixel for us while we were out of town. She sent so many updates and pictures. We could tell Pixel was comfortable and had a good time with Leila. She even went above and beyond by dropping Pixel off at our place for us. We will definitely use her again!

Looking for an amazing pet sitter in the DMV area? Look no further!! Leila was absolutely AMAZING with our pup Rowan. Rowan is very particular and can be skittish around new people; Leila put him right at ease! She was also very communicative throughout the entire time Rowan was with her, and also sent the most adorable videos of our guy. We have found our permanent sitter!!!

Leila was an amazing sitter! She provided regular updates and a lot of pics and videos. Our pup came home happy and tired. Leila was super easy to work with. We will definitely use her again to watch Sirius!

We had a great experience from booking (somewhat last minute) through day-of coordination, Leila was really easy to communicate with and we felt confident our pup was in good hands! Will definitely aim to book with Leila again!

Schedule

My schedule is open and flexible, as I work from home. This lets me give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I plan my day around their needs—whether that means morning walks, afternoon play sessions, overnight stays, or evening drop-ins. I’m reliable, consistent, and happy to work with your routine to keep things as smooth and stress-free as possible for your pet. I do ask that you please take a quick look at my calendar before booking, as I keep it updated regularly so you can see my most current availability!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a clean, pet-friendly space with a local park for safe outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that includes crate training, special diets, or medication.

A typical day

Every day looks a little different depending on the pet, but I always start by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get some attention right away. From there, it’s usually a mix of walks, playtime, and chill time. Essentially, whatever helps them feel safe and happy while you’re gone! I also check in with updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. For dogs, I love going on walks, playing fetch, or even just hanging out in the park. If they like puzzles or games, I’m happy to add that in too. For cats, it’s usually toys, window watching, and lots of gentle affection (on their terms, of course!). I try to match their vibe and keep them feeling at ease.

Leila can host up to 1 pet per night
It’s super helpful to know their routine—when they usually eat, go out, and how they like to play or relax. I also like to ask about any quirks, health issues, or things that might make them nervous (like thunderstorms or other dogs). The more I know up front, the better I can make sure they feel safe and at home while you’re away. IMPORTANT: For the health and comfort of all pets, dogs must be bathed within 24-48 hours of drop-off and arrive free of strong odors, fleas, or excessive dirt.
