Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for your furbabies
I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets, especially through raising my own dog. I have a German Shepherd/Black Lab mix who I’ve raised on my own since he was 6 weeks old. I’ve been responsible for his training, exercise, feeding, and everyday care throughout his life. I also previously worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and became familiar with handling pets in a professional veterinary setting. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of responsible pet care, animal behavior, and the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ve also regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets when they’re away, whether that means taking them on walks, stopping by to feed and check on them, or simply giving them some extra attention and companionship. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I truly enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Ratings and reviews
She is great, if I could write a longer summary I would! I have a kitten & he LOVES HER!! I went on a trip and I had to leave my precious baby, it was our first time being apart. I decided to try the overnight boarding option. She made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated on their everyday activities. She has a pet of her own, so my baby had a fur-buddy to keep him company. I was super happy to comeback and see that they were getting along amazingly (it was my baby’s first time around a dog)! I have not booked with anyone else since!
I’d 100% recommend Leira! She was fantastic with our pups. Her updates and communications were on point. You can stay stress free with people like her taking care of your pups. Once again, she was another hero in disguise for us after our scheduled sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. Thank you Leira! 🙏🏼❤️
I’ve known Leira since elementary school, and she is someone I’ve always known to be caring, dependable, and responsible. She would do anything for her dog, and I have no doubt she would bring that same level of care and attention to any animal in her care. She genuinely loves animals, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their pets with the same love, patience, and care that she gives her own.

Schedule
My schedule may show limited availability, but I’m always open to discussing dates that aren’t currently shown on my calendar! I work full-time during the week and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so my availability can vary depending on the service and care your pup needs. I’m generally more flexible on weekends, but I’m happy to discuss different dates and see what may work for both of us. Because I work full-time and am also completing my master’s degree through an online program, I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pup with the full care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I’d rather make sure a booking is a good fit for my schedule so that I can give your pet the time and care they need while you’re away. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who absolutely loves spending time with animals. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping you updated throughout their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play, enjoys going on walks, or is happiest curled up getting some extra love, I’d be excited to spend time with them!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, loving care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. For weekend overnight sitting, I’m happy to stay in your home and keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and care before I leave. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and treat your pets like my own. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos throughout my visit or stay so you can see how your pets are doing and have peace of mind while you’re away!
Pets
A typical day
During the week, I work full-time and typically finish around 3:30 PM. After work, I’m available for pet care and enjoy spending time with pets through walks, playtime, and keeping them company. I’m also completing my master’s degree online, so I spend some of my evenings working on coursework from home. My weekends are more flexible, which gives me additional availability for pet sitting, longer walks, and spending quality time with your pet. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for everyone.

- I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel comfortable and cared for, including their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and favorite activities. It’s also helpful to know about any medications, allergies, behavioral concerns, or things that may make them anxious or uncomfortable. I’d also appreciate knowing their usual bathroom routine, how they interact with other people or pets, and any specific instructions or preferences you have for their care. Most importantly, I want to know what makes your pet happy and comfortable so I can provide the best care possible while you’re away.
