I want to meet your dog!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover with no current pets of my own, so I am looking forward to getting to know you and your animals! I have a decently-sized apartment in a great neighborhood to walk around, and I live within walking distance Byrd Park. I offer dog and cat sitting and walking services as well as in-home boarding for relatively short stays. I am quick to befriend any animal nearby, and can offer tummy and ear scratches to any pet who wants them. I work full time at the VMFA, so mid-day walks are tough, but early morning and evening walks are perfect for me and your pup! Mid-day walks and drop ins can be arranged for those living near the museum district. I recently graduated with a Masters degree but work in the arts, so I am hoping to earn a little extra to support myself on Rover while getting my fill of all the great dogs I have seen walking around Richmond.

Leila was absolutely amazing! My dog is 11 years old who was relatively recently diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease which will eventually cause paralysis in his hind legs. Since we are in the beginning stages, we are mostly seeing weakness when going for walks, etc. Not only was Leila very welcoming, accommodating, and patient with him, she went out of her way and researched ways to help my dog if his back legs started going bad on one of their walks and made something to help him. I could not have been more grateful. She also continued to send me pictures and updates several times a day which allowed me to never worry about my elderly man. If you want a top quality sitter and someone you can trust, Leila is your girl. Thank you!!!!

Leila is wonderful! She took great care of Joy and sent me lots of cute pictures throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Leila and will be booking her again!

Leila is a caring and attentive dog walker! My dog, Bird, absolutely loves Leila and is very excited to go on walks or stay with her. If there is ever an issue or something out of the ordinary with my dog Leila is sure to communicate the issue clearly and help if she can. I know whenever Leila takes care of my dog that she will be well taken care of with enough attention and love to feel like she's staying with a family member. I couldn't recommend Leila more!
