Availability

This is mostly my full time job! I can make a variety of times work and have lots of flexibility to adjust towards your preferred schedule. I also LOVE long stays, it’s so wonderful getting to know someone’s family member for weeks at a time and getting to be part of their daily routine. I am working on a grooming apprenticeship so I am there 2-3 days a week. Usually mornings to afternoon, please reach out for specific availability! Morning and evening visits usually work best for me but I can often make afternoon visits work as well. Please let me know if your times of visits have any flexibility as well! It always helps me to know if you’re needing a specific time frame :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have tons of experience house sitting in the past- so I have firsthand knowledge on how to make your pups feel safe and at home with someone they trust! Animals tend to do better with extra animal and human company while their owners are away. Your animals will be treated like royalty; just like my own! Dogs are never let off leash in open areas without prior owner permission. Your dog will be treated as my own, 100% happy and healthy! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information and questions!

Information Leila A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behavior issues, allergies, anxieties, medications, etc. And please let me know if they are good off leash (hikes, parks) PLEASE let me know if your dog tends to be destructive. I always keep a close eye on everyone but some dogs are sneakier than others! I have experience giving medications to stubborn dogs+cats, and have tricks up my sleeves! Message me for more details and any questions :)

A typical day

Dogs need so much mental and physical stimulation! I love taking pups on field trips to Lindsey Gardens, Rotary Glenn, Neff’s Canyon, and other outdoor dog friendly areas.

Pet care experience

I’ve been doing Rover in both Boise/SLC for almost 6 years now! I’ve done everything from house sitting, walks, and boarding; but now choose to focus on my established & new drop in requests! I worked at daycare/boarding/training facilities for 5 years- so I am very well versed in a multitude of dogs! I’ve taken care of large breeds, multiple dog households, and dogs requiring special needs. I specialize in high energy dogs, working breeds (shepherds and herders), and obviously I love to get my little dog fill in as well! I’m keen on dog behavior and interactions, and have supervised many small and large packs for many years. I have seen just about every silly, good, and naughty behavior under the moon! SOME BACKGROUND ✨ I’ve been petsitting for several years both professionally and for family members. I’m almost ALWAYS taking care of dogs/cats 24/7 in many different environments! I used to foster litters of kittens & adult cats when I was growing up, and also grew up with high energy dog breeds. I have attended many training seminars/classes throughout my life! Several of my dogs have performance titles and they are my biggest passion. I’m currently working on a grooming apprenticeship, but have lots of schedule flexibility to pursue Rover full time. Your animals will always get love in and outside of the house. Their safety and comfortability is my top priority. DROP INS: I love doing drop in visits, they are my favorite! I often check on cats (and dogs!) for long stays, I can accommodate for most times of day- whether needing 1, 2, or 3x visits a day I can usually make it happen! ☺️ Sometimes people need them while they are away at work (quick potty breaks for dogs, feeding, playtime, etc) And I also will often see dogs/cats for longer stays while owners are on vacation as well! The only thing I ask for drop ins, is to leave detailed instructions for feeding/expectations/reminders to help me out after initial meetings! I want to make sure I 100% have the correct information to care for your animals to the highest degree of love and accuracy. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information and questions!

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.
