Information Lela P. would like to know about your pet

I require to know pets dementor, preferences, any special needs or medication before agreeing to a job. I want to make sure I am prepared for your pet to give them the best care!

I love playing and setting up enriching games for pets. Outdoor activities like walks and scavenger hunts can be made fun for dogs. If they are more of a coach potato inside games can be just as beneficial.

Lela was a wonderful pet/house sitter. Reliable, punctual, and extra communicative. She sent us daily pics of our boys and they were definitely smitten with her. We will be scheduling her again on our next trip!!!

This is the second time we had Lela stay at our house to watch our dog for over a week, and just like the first time it was a fantastic experience! Lela was great at sending us updates and pictures of our dog as well as our cats. She even brought our mail and packages in that we received while we were gone. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and tired when we arrived home. Lela was amazing and we will definitely have her watch our dog again in the future!!

She does not even deserve 1 star! We put our trust in Lela, and she completely failed us on all levels. When interviewed she was instructed not to leave our dogs more than 4 hours at a time. She left our house the first night and didn't come back until midnight, supposedly tutoring. She left the first morning at 6 am and didn't come back until 2pm. She failed to take them outside for potty before bedtime. If that wasn't bad enough, she was supposedly uncomfortable after a solicitor came to our house and decided that she was going to pack up and leave! She is the absolute worst pet sitter on Rover.com. Rover has made things right by giving us a refund, however, my husband and I are beyond furious after this awful experience! She basically ignored our fur babies and obviously had no regard for them by abandoning them after 1 day!

Lela has been wonderful to work with! She watched my baby Ava for about 10 days at my home while I traveled. She sent many pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. I am quite anxious about leaving Ava, and Lela helped me feel more at ease. Will be booking her services in the future!
