Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and attentive care!
Hi, I’m Lela—a lifelong animal lover with professional part-time pet sitting experience and a calm, attuned approach. I currently share life with a cat and dog of my own and have cared for animals since childhood. I’ve worked with puppies, senior pets, shy animals, reactive dogs, and everything in between. I’m experienced in: • 🐶 Puppy & adult dog training • 🐕🦺 Walks & leash manners • 🐈 Cat care & even some training • 🐾 Feeding, bathing, meds, special needs • 🐹 Small animals & exotics • 💛 Calming support for anxious or sensitive pets I adapt to each animal’s unique rhythm—whether they want playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance while you’re away. 📸 BONUS: I’m also a trained photographer! You’ll get beautiful pet photo updates with each visit. 🧑🧑🧒 Giving back: A portion of my Rover earnings helps support disabled and low-income families in our community with pet care or childcare services. Let me know what your pet loves, needs, or struggles with—I’ll treat them like my own. 💕

Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
I offer drop-in care in the client’s home and dog walking. Regular routines give pets the stability they need especially in stressful times when their pet parent is away. I am careful to follow those routines and give them my utmost attention and affection. I’m known to be trustworthy, dependable, honest, straightforward, and thorough while efficient.
Ratings and reviews
Lela was amazing and as reliable as she has always been—caring for our two cats!
Our cat loves Lela! She gives him lots of love and attention and we really appreciate the great pictures she takes.
Lela took such good care of my kitties while I was gone! Thank you so much!
Repeat customer! Our kitty loves Lela. She does a great job of spoiling him
Lela patiently worked with us early on to answer our questions and build relationship with our dog Zoey to help us feel comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. She bonded with Zoey very quickly, and provided expert and loving care.
Lela is so wonderful with our cats. We have enlisted her services several times and we will continue doing so!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for my own dog and cat, so my days already revolve around feeding, walks, play, training, and quiet time together. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to include pet visits, walks, and overnight care during the week or weekend. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, caring for other people’s pets blends seamlessly into my rhythm—it never feels like a chore. I’m reliable, consistent, and very mindful of sticking to each pet’s routine, so they feel secure and well cared for even when their humans are away.
