Safety, trust & environment

When taking the pets on walks, I always make sure they are leashed; they have food and water, bathroom breaks and enjoy their time spent with me by actively engaging in play time with them. Will also bathe animals if it is requested by their owner.

Information Lela M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animals have any special needs so that I can properly fulfill and take care of those needs. In the past, I have had a couple dogs (for over 14 years) that both had health conditions in their later years and required daily medication. Please also let me know if your dog know basic commands and if they displays any type of aggressive behavior towards new people and how to combat that if they do for safety reasons

A typical day

I love being outdoors with pets, weather permitting. Whether it's venturing to a dog park, walking through nature areas or even just around the neighborhood. I enjoy physical play time with dogs and cats. (Ball throwing for dogs, tossing cat toys around for them to chase after.) Whatever excites them to be active, I'm up for!

Lover of pets!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs, cats and a few family birds of all kinds and ages since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, walk, play, feed (administer suppplemts and medications as needed) and occasionally bathe their pets. Well versed in taking care of older pets (such as my own) and various pet sits for other pet parents.

Lela once again was a great friend for our cat, Rico. Nothing but thumbs up for Lela.

Lela was a fantastic sitter for my senior, very needy dog. They bonded very well and she provided pictures and updates regularly. I was worried as I hadnt left my dog with a sitter before and she is a velcro dog with me. After a day or so, I felt completely at ease as I saw Luna was having a great time with Lela and was perky and ready for walks. Luna has a lot of daily medication and Lela kept up with her meds schedule. She kept the house clean and all in all was a great sitter. I would not hesitate to have her back again!!

Annie loved Lela. Was completely relaxed around her. Lela stayed the night and left the house very tidy. She even washed the bedding and remade our spare bed!! She was wonderful!!!
