Pet care experience

will trade love and care for pets<3

I've been on Rover and TrustedHousesitters for over a year now, providing the opportunity to look after dozens and dozens of animals. It was the natural progression as a twenty-something who grew up with a mini French poodle, a schnauzer, four cats, one ferret, and two guinea pigs. My childhood pets gave me unconditional love and support while teaching me to care for animals. When my schnauzer became blind and deaf after a stroke, I learned to take care for senior and special-needs dog, giving me the patience and skills to help dogs of all ages and conditions. Unlike most sitters, I hold a B.S. in Animal Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, giving me a deeper understanding of the lives and needs of animals. Additionally, I've previously volunteered at local dog shelters where I looked after and played with dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm in your house, I will follow the rules you provide and make sure to leave the house the same, if not better, than when I first arrived! I know the exhaustion that comes with traveling home after a trip and I want to ensure you have a nice and clean house when you return.

House Sitting • Mai 08, 2026

Leilani truly went above and beyond caring for Luna while I was away. Luna has separation anxiety, but Leilani was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive with her from the moment they met. She took extra time with her on walks, never rushed her, and made sure Luna felt safe and comfortable the entire stay. I could genuinely tell that Luna was loved and cared for like family. It means the world to have someone you can fully trust with your dog, and I would recommend her to anyone. Luna misses her! And the photos were a lovely bonus!

Leilani was the best cat sitter we have had yet. She sent tons of pictures and updates. Leo was clearly happy and enjoyed his time with her.

Leilani was a great cat sitter. She communicates well, shows up on time, played with the two of them really nicely. I’ll hire her again and you should too

I had a great experience with Leilani! She was very attentive and communicative from the start. I really appreciated how she took the time to ask thoughtful questions to better understand my dog’s needs, personality, and routine. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again in the future!

After having the same sitter for several years, finding someone new is always a daunting task—especially for cat care, which can be surprisingly rare on Rover. This was our first time having Leilani look after our cats while we were away, and all I can say is how incredibly fortunate we feel to have crossed paths with her. We feel so lucky to have found someone who is not only reliable, but also genuinely caring and attentive with animals. Her communication was warm and natural, and she sent us plenty of adorable photos that showed just how well she connected with our cats. It was clear she sincerely bonded with them. We’re truly grateful to have met Leilani and will absolutely be using her services again in the future!

Schedule

I work 4 days remote as a Regulatory Specialist for a state department. As such, I am available most days and have a lot of flexibility to drop in on your beloved or take them on a stroll. When I'm not working, you can find me working out, reading, doodling, crocheting, practicing yoga, and hopefully taking care of your fur baby!

Cats

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Leilani can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know of any special needs your dog may have as well as how they interact with other dogs/cats/squirrels so I know when to be extra attentive. Thank you!
