Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving your fur babies like my own!
I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away!

Ratings and reviews
Leila took great of my dog! My dog, Rocky, usually gets a bit anxious around new people, but he warmed up to Leila quickly! She made sure Rocky was fed at the appropriate times and kept me updated on everything!! Highly recommend her!!
Leila was absolutely amazing! Sweet, caring, attentive, and so compassionate with our babies, she was also incredibly easy to work with. She house-sat and watched all our fur babies, from tiny kittens to our 17-year-old dog. Leila kept us updated, which made us feel so reassured that they were all well taken care of. We can't thank Leila enough for giving us that peace of mind, knowing our home and pets were safe while we enjoyed our vacation. Thank you again, Leila!
Leila has been taking care of my two dogs since she was in middle school. They absolutely love her. Very responsible and caring young lady. She’s like part of the family.
I have never hired a sitter for my cats. I usually have my roommate take care of them but he wasn't around for my last trip so I finally broke down and hired an actual pet sitter. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when I came back from my trip. All the litter boxes were pristine, the water fountain was full, and none of my cats had any scratch marks from fighting due to being locked in my room for too long. It was easy to tell that Leila had followed my instructions to the letter. When I travel, I usually have to worry about my cats, but now I feel like there's one less thing to worry about if Leila is available.
Leila is such a great caregiver for our Shiloh! Shiloh is a large, playful boxer with a lot of energy, and Leila is patient, caring, and perfectly capable of handling him. Our family travels often, and Leila is our go-to pet sitter because she is dependable and communicates with us consistently when she's caring for Shiloh. Our family would be lost without her!
I have 2 large German Shepards. Leila has never had an issue taking care of our family dogs while we are away. She is respectful, worked in a timely manner, and has always been able to accommodate last minute needs. She is very outgoing and brings a positive attitude everyday to the household. Duties were carried out very well and she has shown a lot of affection to our animals. She provides updates as necessary and ensures the safety of our animals.

Schedule
I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping dogs active, happy, and entertained! Depending on what the owner allows and what the dog enjoys, I can take them on walks, runs, or trips to the dog park. I’m also happy to play with them, spend time outside, and take them to the beach or around water when appropriate. If needed, I can also give them a bath. I’ll always make sure activities fit the dog’s energy level, comfort, and routine so they have a fun and safe time.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know about anything that will help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. This includes any special requests, whether they get along with other dogs or cats, dietary restrictions or special foods, medications, allergies, or specific routines they need to follow. I also want to know about their usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and bathroom schedules so I can keep their routine as consistent as possible. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their specific needs and their owner’s instructions.
