Pet care experience
New Jersey classical musician relocated to San Diego about three years ago. Currently working part-time in After Covid times, while working privately as a music teacher. I have grown up right outside NYC around dogs and cats since I was 15, back in the 80's :-) Each dog deserves to be happy, whether they are on a farm, in a large house, or an apartment. Sometimes it can be a jog around the park, other times it can be throwing a ball, but sometimes it can be just be laying on the rug and watching some TV. Either way its about making sure he or she is healthy and happy to see you when you get back home. My late pup-pal Bailey, grew up with two cousin pit-bulls named Rex and Rocky in Jersey, and his kitty friends, Gussy, and Lucy. I have a flexing weekly schedule which lets me run and play with the dogs in your neighborhood. How about you let your pup join us :-)
Reviews
Leo watched our two pups over New Years and we were so happy with him! He came by the week before for a meet and greet and got to know the dogs. He was incredibly thorough with the needs of our two senior dogs and we received a ton of pictures during our stay. We would highly recommend him. He even took the time to walk our more energetic dog separately from our other dog a few times so he could burn off his energy. We will definitely use Leo again soon.
This was our first time away from Guinevere, who we rescued almost 6 months ago. She is a sweet dog but is still getting used to new experiences. Leo has been so kind and patient, even working with us to book walks leading up to the trip with strategies that allowed her to gain comfort with him and the idea of being walked and watched by someone new (such as starting with us being home when he picked her up to the next time not being there, but being home when they got back, etc). He has such a way with dogs and was very intuitive to Guin's needs through the stay. Knowing Leo was watching her gave us peace of mind during the trip. Thank you Leo for giving Guinevere such a positive experience!
Guinevere had an amazing time with Leo! This was Guin's first time being walked by someone other than me or my husband and Leo was very patient and understanding with Guinevere's needs. He took her to the park and was undeterred by her LOVE of the squirrels, she came home happy and tuckered out! Thanks Leo for the positive experience!
Leo has been such a big help for when I’m out of town or stuck at work longer than usual. He is a big dog lover and I highly suggest him for anything you may need! I have been a repeat client and will continue to be! Thank you Leo!
