Pets are my passion

Pet care experience

I am a passionate dog lover and have been since I can remember. I have a large fenced in shady back yard that I treat regularly for fleas and ticks. I live in an older quiet neighborhood (close to the Atlanta Airport) where all the neighbors watch out for each other. I will walk your dog daily, play fetch, daily brush, or whatever your dogs desire. I am currently doing on-line dog grooming, dog obedience, and dog CPR/First Aid through Animal Behavior College and will be certified by June 2015. I provide a safe and comfortable environment inside and outside. Your dog will be my main concern while in my care. I have a female Pitbull puppy who I socialize with people, animals, children, and babies; she is my sweet heart. My son, daughter-in-law, three year old grandson, and their two Chihuahuas live with me at this time and they are animal lovers just like I am. We promise your furry loved one will always want to return for another visit. We hope to hear from you soon, so that you can take care of your business or go on a vacation and not have to worry about your loved furry family member. I will keep you posted daily with pictures so you do not worry while you are away. Look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Lela About this sitter: I am a very compassionate, caring, and patient person, especially with animals and the elderly. I will love and care for your dog/cat to the point where he/she will always want to come back for another visit. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I can remember. I was always bringing home strays as a little girl and drove my parents crazy. My last three dogs I have adopted from rescues, who have very strict guidelines. This time I chose to raise a puppy from the get go and her name is Zena. Actually, all dogs love me. I have never been without a dog for long and when I didn't have a dog, it was just because I didn't have the time to give them the attention I know they need. About my yard I have a wonderful mostly shaded fenced in back yard with two separate fenced in areas. My yard has three different levels, each lower than the other, but each level ground with barrier walls. If dogs needed to be separated while outside, my yard is equipped for this. All total, I believe it about 2000 square feet, with a shaded back porch as well. My hope would be that I am never in the situation to have to separate dogs, but I am equipped to do this, if needed. My yard is bigger than my house, even though my house is small, it is very comfortable.

The care Lela provided for my two dogs was above and beyond. She sent me text messages and even photos of my Lily and Daisy as they went about their activities. That gave me complete peace of mind. When I picked them up they were calm and happy and I think might be missing Lela and her family after all that extra special care. Thanks, Lela!

Information Lela V. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. The only reason I cannot accept small dogs is because my sons Chihuahua always gets out of the fenced in back yard and we don't how she does it. My main concern would be if your dog has any aggression issues with people or other dogs. What is your dog scared of: Example-Thunder & lightening, your dogs likes and dislikes.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Our morning walk will be in my neighborhood. I have hilly terrain in my neighborhood and I love to take dogs for walks here, it keeps their nails filed down and it is great exercise. Our second walk will be at one of the two great parks within 1/2 mile from home (A perk of the City of Forest Park and Morrow). One has trails in a nature wooded park with a lake if your dog is in to swimming. The other has concrete walks through a wooded nature park. Both are wonderful for dog walks. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in the doggie bedroom or my bedroom preferably on his/her own bed brought with your pet. I am equipped to let them sleep in a crate if that is necessary and only if that is what your doggie sleeps in at home. Time I'll spend with your dog Constant. 24/7, with the exception of having to run short errands.
