Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I pay special attention to my pets. I make sure any toys that are choking hazards are immediately thrown away and I make sure the litter box is clean/plenty of potty breaks are taken. In your home I will do the same.

Information Leo M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog requires anything special, like troubles with a harness or something like that. I am most used to medium sized dogs and that is where my comfort lies, but I am more than capable of taking care of other sized dogs.

A typical day

I love to play and cuddle with dogs. We can have active time and go for walks, play with toys, and even put together a fun treat-time activity. I’m just as happy providing stimulation for a high-energy dog as I am lounging with a senior dog.

Pet care experience

I haven’t yet met a dog I don’t like. Not so big on slobber, but I can get behind everything else. My entire dad’s side of the family has had dogs for as long as I can remember, and three years ago we adopted our own dog, Percy. I helped train him from five months old to now and I continue to help caring for him every day. I have dogsat for various families in my neighborhood and they always ask me to come back!

Leo is such a sweetheart and a real animal lover! I could tell he really cared about my pets’ wellbeing and didn’t just see them as an item to check off on his list. He was on time or early, very communicative, and really helpful, especially since I booked pretty last minute. I would absolutely have him as a sitter again!

Leo took such good care of my kitten Orla, sending many photos and leaving a really detailed description of everything. Was communicative and really nice! Would definitely recommend and book again!

We had an excellent experience and would absolutely book with him again! He accepted our booking on very short notice, which was an enormous help during an unexpected situation, and we're incredibly grateful that he was available. He took wonderful care of our three cats, Karai, Rex, and Mia, and sent thoughtful updates and photos after every visit. It was so nice to see our kitties were happy while we were gone. When we got home, all three cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We could tell they were comfortable with him because none of them were upset with us when we returned- a great sign for any cat owner! He was reliable, communicative, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire booking. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter, and we'd be happy to book with him again whenever our schedules line up.
