Pet care experience

Reliable Dog Dad

I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life. I currently have dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure everyone is comfortable and cared for are already part of my normal routine. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Depending on your dog’s needs and energy level, their time with me can include walks, supervised outdoor play, exercise, bathroom breaks, enrichment, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay.

Lelyn is a great pet sitter. We found him several months ago when we needed to have someone look after our sweet girl Lady. He sent updates and was very communicative with us. Since then, when planned or unexpected trips come up for us we reach out to Lelyn because we know our girl will be in good hands.

Schedule

Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine because I have dogs of my own. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs outside for walks and playtime, while also making sure they have plenty of time to relax. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible so being away from home feels comfortable and familiar.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my priority whenever someone trusts me with their dog. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for supervised play, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also have dogs of my own, so introductions with visiting dogs are always handled carefully and supervised. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, crates, medications, sleeping arrangements, and interaction with other pets. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family.
