Pet care experience
A Warm Hello
Choosing a dog sitter is about more than availability - it is about trust. As a veteran and recently retired elementary school teacher, and someone with over 8 years of hands-on pet sitting experience; my life has been rooted in responsibility, patience and attentive care. Both careers have shaped me to be punctual, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to the well being of those in my care. My background in education allows me to be especially patient and attentive to behavior cues. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior or needs a little reassurance, I provide steady, kind and consistent care. Additionally, my husband is a medical provider, who works from home, so administering medications or supporting pets with medical needs is something we are comfortable and confident handling. If your dog requires extra attention or specialized care, you can feel at ease that extra support is readily available. My goal is simple: for you to leave and feel completely confident - and return to a happy, well cared for dog.

Leilani took excellent care of Lola. Her communication was great and I received updates and pictures every day. I could tell Lola was in wonderful hands and had a very happy stay.
Leilani did a great job with our (very active) Golden. He came home very happy and tired! Thank you!
Leilani was excellent. Perfect proactive communication and made my little one Peaches feel right at home. She also made sure peaches was safe with a few special requests we had with zero issues. Definitely will be working with Leilani again, she is extremely professional and also a great person, really easy to work with!
Leilani was just great! We are so happy with her and will definitely let her care for Charlie again. She sent pictures and updates daily. She seemed to genuinely care about him and we are very pleased with her care for him.
Very communicative and accommodating! From first reach out to pickup I felt my pup was in a loving home! Like I was leaving him with family!

Schedule
A Day in Our Care When pets stay in our home, their comfort, safety and routine are my top priorities. Morning Our day begins with a gentle transition into the morning - potty break in our fully fenced in yard, fresh water, and breakfast served according to your pet's normal schedule. Morning walks are unhurried and tailored to your dog's pace and needs. After their walk, pets enjoy playtime or relaxed companionship settling in for a short mid-morning nap. Midday Midday includes supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, and intentional play sessions suited to your dog's energy level. I stay attentive and fully present. Afternoons & Evenings Afternoons may include another walk, light structured playtime, or peaceful companionship depending on your pet's needs. I balance activity with downtime to prevent overstimulation. Dinner is served according to your instructions. Evenings in our home are peaceful and predictable, helping pets feel settled and secure. Nighttime Pets sleep in a safe and comfortable space aligned with what they are used to at home. My goal is for them to feel relaxed, safe and truly at ease.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home offers something many cannot - I intentionally create a calm, structured, nurturing environment so they feel secure from the moment they arrive. I do not believe in simply "watching" dogs - I believe in actively caring for them in a way that makes them feel safe, understood and secure. With me, your pet is not one of many. They are thoughtfully cared for with close supervision, balanced activity, and genuine affection. If you are looking for reliable, attentive and experienced care; where your pet's routine, comfort and well being truly come first - my home is designed for that.
