Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine and environment consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and playtime (my favorite!). I always check that doors, gates, and crates are secure before and after visits. I am extremely responsible as I have cared for pets my whole life. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as instructed by the owner and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I avoid unsafe areas, watch closely for other animals, and make sure each walk matches the pet’s energy level and needs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, follow all owner instructions closely, and provide updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are safe and happy. I would love to care for your pet!

Information Leila P. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything about your pet that would need extra care and attention, please let me know ahead of time so I can watch them properly. I don’t mind having to take extra care :)

A typical day

I love to go on walks, play at the park, play tug of war, and cuddle! I am honestly up for any type of activity as long as I get to be with the pets.

Lover of pets and long walks!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life and grew up caring for both cats and dogs. Throughout childhood, my family had a cat and we frequently dog-sat for multiple dogs. In college, I continued pet sitting as a side job and gained even more hands-on experience. I regularly care for friends’ and family’s dogs when they travel. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I genuinely love animals. I especially enjoy walking dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!

Leila truly cares for each and every animal. She grew up as a loving animal owner as well as taking good care of my many animals throughout the years. She is very responsible and has fantastic attention to detail.

Leila was an angel! She was very communicative and did an amazing job of caring for my sweet baby, Luna (8, Standard Poodle). While I was away, she walked her four times throughout the day, 15-30min each time. She even took her to the park when the weather was nice! Luna was always feed, walked, and put to bed at her normal time. I really appreciated how accommodating she was in making sure Luna got all the love and care she usually does (maybe even a little extra haha). She sent plenty of updates throughout the day and made sure to include pictures. Whether you need someone to care for your furbaby for a few days or an extended period of time, Leila is your girl. She’s the best!!!

Leila is a fantastic caretaker to all pets! She has experience with cats, dogs, bunnies and more. She is responsible and treats each pet as her own. Her communication skills are fantastic and I always feel safe with my pets in her care.
