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!

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.

Information Leilani M. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I am quite an active person and I love when dogs join me in my adventures. If they're more chill, I will gladly stay home and play with their toys while enjoying a plethora of belly rubs.

Pet care experience

I've been on Rover and TrustedHousesitters for almost two years now, providing the opportunity to look after 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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bucky! She was incredibly loving and attentive, and it was obvious from the moment we met her that she genuinely cares about dogs. Throughout the day she kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind and made it clear that Bucky was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We felt completely confident leaving Bucky in her care, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and thoughtful sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bucky!

Leilani was amazing at watching our kitty while we were away for the weekend! I get so nervous leaving her, but she provided so many updates and pictures which made me feel super at ease. I highly recommend Leilani!

Leilani was very attentive to Artemis’ needs and made sure that he had a good company while I was away. She was very communicative and flexible, and I would definitely have her look after Artie again :)

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.
