Pet care experience

Happy and loving pet home!

We've sat approximately 100 dogs with Rover and I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and other types of animals. I've volunteered at animal shelters and fostered different animals in the past (including pigs and raccoons). Additionally, I am capable of administering medication as needed. My husband is from Puerto Rico and has had dogs his entire life among other animals such as goats, horses, pigs and cows, to name a few. My family loves animals in general, but especially dogs. A house is not a home without a four-legged friend. I work from home full time and my husband is home 3-4 days a week on alternating days. We're very flexible with our schedule and can easily modify your booking to add/subtract days if needed. We're also flexible with drop off/pick up times. We're rarely out of our home for more than a few hours at a time, especially if we have furry visitors! Our number one priority is that your pet has a safe, comfortable and happy stay! We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play. The fence has chicken wire laid at the base so it is dig proof with a padlock on the outside prohibiting unwelcome entrance. There is a doggy door on our back door so your fur baby won't have to wait to go outside during awake hours. Miniature/Small dogs will be let out separately if there are other, larger dogs present. We have a laid back, senior beagle and a young, mini Goldendoodle. They are great at making all of the furry friends feel welcome and part of the pack! They are always excited to meet a new visitor and, shortly after, they treat them as if they're right at home.

Took my new puppy and she seems to have handled his puppy energy well

Leila and her family were wonderful hosts for our 70 lb. Black Mouth Cur. I highly recommend Leila for pet sitting.

Leila and Carlos took care of our dog Rory for 2 weeks while we were on vacation and during hurricane Milton. We highly recommend them. They always take great care of our dog.

Repeat customer for years. Love Leila, Carlos and family. Never have to worry when my SuzyQ stays with them. She has a great time and puts my mind to ease while I’m away!

Pets

A typical day

Our large backyard is the perfect place for your dog to run off some energy. We have various dog parks close by as well. My family typically goes outside in the mornings and evenings to run around with the dogs and it is wonderful for bonding. We play frisbee, chuckit! and tug of war to name a few! We close the doggy door and keep the dogs inside during peak summer hours to prevent heat exhaustion.

Please let me know if your dog is on any medications. Written notes provided on drop off are always helpful! I also like to know if I should worry about any sensitive areas that shouldn’t be touched (for example: the right ear, hind leg, etc). The dogs are free to mingle under supervision so please mention any necessary accommodations that need to be made if your pooch prefers to be alone. Please let us know if they have any reoccurring injuries, twitches or anything we should look out for such as previous episodes of seizures. We are aware that different breeds have different characteristics and we monitor them accordingly. Any additional information you can provide specific to your pet is always helpful in successful care giving!
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.
