Marine Veteran, lives for adventure

Pet care experience

I have taken care of a variety of puppies and adult dogs since I was a teenager in high school. This includes: taking care of my neighbor's dog while they were away on a trip, my sibling's puppies while she was away at work, and various other friends continue to entrust me to care for their dogs whenever the occasion arises. I currently take care of a Corgi and a Black Labrador/Rottweiler mix. They are both senior citizens that require plenty of love and attention. Recently, I began taking my friend's energetic Coonhound out for long walks on days their normal dog walker cannot make it. I currently work full-time during the evenings and I am currently enrolled in college part-time. With the aid of my Post 9/11 GI Bill from my time in the Marine Corps, I plan to transition to full-time student. I will soon have plenty of time to be able to walk any puppies that are left home alone, or require multiple walks. I personally have a fenced yard with plenty of land for a dog to run around and play. I also have plenty of room for a dog to be crated as needed in my home. While in my client's home, I will respectfully abide by the doggy parent's rules of care, whether that means crating the dog at certain points, allowing the dog to roam freely in a fenced yard, or to provide leash walks only. Communication between myself and my client is key, and my goal is to have a happy doggy and client.

Leo is a dependable person who takes great care of dogs. I had Leo watch my dog on short notice and he did a fantastic job. Leo took her on a nice walk and took pictures of her having a blast in the backyard as he played with her and tired her out. Leo then sent the pictures to me and my fiancé which we really enjoyed and appreciated. I’ve know Leo for a long time now and is very competent and reliable person.

Hello! I have entrusted Leo R with my dogs on numerous occasions. I have a total of 3 dogs, all of which are very active and high energy. Leo has managed to effectively take care of and walk all 3 at once. Every time I have returned home I find all 3 are tired out, well- fed and taken care of. I usually supply him with a key and trust him enough to go into my home when no one is there and take care of my pups! I've never had an issue and would not trust my dogs with just anyone. He is very trustworthy and I would continue to trust him with my dogs.

Information Leo R. would like to know about your pet

It is important for my client to inform me of any physical or medical conditions that may impact your dog's walk, any food allergies or sensitivities, and whether or not it is okay I give your dog a treat or two. I would also appreciate knowing your dog's favorite games to play, and any favorite areas to go for walks.

A typical day

Every doggy is different. Some are older and enjoy leisurely strolls, while they take their time to sniff around, while others enjoy a brisk run or a solid game of fetch. I ensure that high energy breeds are stimulated enough to release energy while having fun. I particularly enjoy taking dogs for walks on trails or hikes, as tolerated.
