Safety, trust & environment

I am a very clean person who pays attention to detail. I tend to clean any space that I’m in (whether that’s dishes or vacuuming) regardless of what I’m expected to do. My home is very clean and I would love any pet that I care for as if they were my own because I miss my pets.

Information Leila A. would like to know about your pet

I have experience administering medication to even the most finicky pets so please let me know if anything special is needed to take care of your pets. Also, please let me know how they behave at night!

A typical day

I’m an active and outdoorsy person so I love to walk dogs or take them to the dog park. I play frisbee so even better if they like to fetch! I can drag a string on a stick for hours with a cat or throw a ball across a room. Whatever is needed!

Law student and experienced sitter!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting in New York for over two years now with a range of experience. In addition to my rover experience, I grew up with a dog and 2 cats! I primarily was a babysitter and nanny from middle school through college (which frequently included caring for pets as well) so I’ve been sitting and taking care of homes for most of my life. Being in law school, pet care has fit very well into my schedule and has given me a chance to have some animals in my life while I live away from my family and pets.

We cannot recommend Leila enough! We left our two Goldendoodles in her care and felt completely at ease the entire time. She was incredibly attentive, sent regular photo updates, and it was clear from every message that our pups were happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Finding someone who genuinely cares for your dogs the way you do is rare, Leila is exactly that. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Leila was so great with my puppy Frankie! I got great pictures and videos where Frankie looked super content and happy. She checked in regularly and even changed her schedule to stay later when I had a train delay.

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.
