Loving Pet Care — Dogs, Cats & More

Hi there! I’ve spent my life rescuing and training animals — especially dogs and cats — and caring for everything from geese to horses. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the patience, love, and consistency that every pet needs. Whether it’s daily walks, fun off-leash adventures, or safe and cozy boarding, My wife and I make sure each pet feels cared for like my own. I’m also bilingual in English and Español, making it easy to connect with pet parents and keep communication smooth.

Lemuel and his partner were amazing! They took wonderful care of my dog and gave him so much attention and love. He was clearly very happy and comfortable with them. They’re responsible, caring, and trustworthy, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to look after him. Would absolutely recommend them! 🐶❤️

I’ve trusted Lemuel to care for my pets several times, and he always goes above and beyond. From walks to feeding to giving them plenty of affection, he handles it all with patience and experience. His background in rescuing and training animals really shows in the way he understands their behavior and needs. Dependable, responsible, and genuinely passionate — I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

I can’t say enough good things about Lemuel. He has such a natural connection with animals. My dog is usually shy with new people, but he warmed up to Lemuel instantly — tail wagging and all! He took him on long walks, sent me updates, and treated him like his own. I had total peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Lemuel to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!

Schedule

I am home throughout the day, so pets are never left alone for long periods. With my flexible schedule and a car, I can easily take them on nearby trail adventures for off-leash runs, playtime, and exercise. This allows me and my wife to provide a balance of supervision, activity, and relaxation for each pet in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own, always focusing on their comfort and safety. At home, I provide a calm and secure environment with plenty of attention. For outings, I drive pets to nearby trails where they can enjoy safe, supervised off-leash runs. I always monitor closely, keep water and supplies on hand, and make sure every pet feels loved, trusted, and well cared for.
