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.

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.

Lela was awesome with Luna! We were able to enjoy our vacation. She sent us many photos and updates. We came home to a clean house. I would not hesitate to use her services again or to recommend her to anyone.

Lela did a great job with our dog! She host him bust and was a great house guest while we were gone. 💯 Would recommend!

I never worried about our pets or our house while we were on vacation with Lela there taking care of it all! Will definitely look her up for any future needs!

Lela has become my life saver. She has taken care of my dog Buddy for almost a year now on numerous occasions. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog Buddy is safe, comfortable, and having fun while watching him. As a dog dad, I can be a little crazy when I leave my pup and Lela helps provide the reassurance that Buddy is okay. She sends daily updates with photos to keep me updated how he is doing. She has even offered to FaceTime me so that I can see Buddy while away from home. I truly do not know what I would do without having Lela as a dog walker and sitter. I highly recommend her as she is trustworthy, reliable, and will treat your pup like her own.
