Pet care experience

Lifetime Shepherd mom!

I have many years of experience with all dog breeds. My dog gets along great with other dogs too, so I’d love to introduce them if you would be open to that! I recently moved to Santa Fe from Boston for a new job opportunity. I am so excited to meet new clients and build bonds with your fur babies! I always walk dogs on a leash. I can also run with them if they prefer more intense exercise (or if you just want them to burn some energy so they get more sleep 😊).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I always try to keep a close eye on them until I am comfortable with my familiarity of their behavior. I always watch them when they are outside. I am very accommodating to what makes them the most comfortable; for example, if the dog is used to sleeping on the bed with their humans, I am okay with having them sleep on my bed for the duration of their stay.

She has great reviews for a reason. She is professional with great communication and JimJim loves her! Thank you Leila!

Thank you Leila for squeezing our last minute request in on a holiday weekend! Leila was great with our overly friendly meatball of a dog. We will be booking with her again.

She did as instructed and my cats were well cared for. Easy to work things out with and friendly.

Leila did a wonderful job taking care of Lily! She is an excellent communicator and did a great job of keeping me up to date throughout our trip. I felt confident that our fur baby was in good hands!

Leila was great! At the meet and greet, my dog loved her. She came for two check ins and updated me upon arrival. My dog was happy and everything was done as we asked. We will definitely be using Leila again!

Schedule

My partner and I work different shifts within normal business hours, so there is minimal time that your pet would be alone in our home. I would be off work by the afternoon every day and we have weekends off, so lots of opportunities for walks and visits!

Leila can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It is absolutely necessary to know whether a dog has any special needs (takes medication, has a handicap, is on a special diet, etc.) prior to booking. I also prefer to know their activity level and what is their favorite way to let their energy out.
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.
