Pet care experience
Trust, Love & Care Fur Your Family!
Hi, I’m Leo! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have always had a special bond with pets. I grew up with dogs and now proudly share my home with Dora the Explorer, a senior rescue cat. When I didn’t have pets of my own, I spent my time visiting neighbors to play with and care for their furry companions. Since my teenage years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, neighbors, and their extended networks. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering trusted care, plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. My experience spans a variety of situations—from being hired to drive a dog from the Bay Area to Oregon to flying to Hawaii for a special dog-sitting assignment. I’ve cared for pets of all personalities and ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I’m comfortable working with animals who are outgoing or more reserved and need time to build trust. When you choose me, you can rest easy knowing your fur baby is in safe hands. I’ll keep you updated daily with photos and videos so you can stay connected while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or attention that I should know beforehand. Do they require medication, have dietary restrictions, or need a specific environment? Are they social with other dogs and two-legged animals? Do they have a favorite spot for pets/scratches, favorite hobbies, active adventures (my car is pet friendly for travel), or more of a Netflix and chill? Any details to ensure the best care are appreciated!
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog Oliver received! Leo went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands while we were away. Leo was dependable, caring, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He treated our dog like his own and kept us updated, sent us photos we felt were from a professional photographer - this gave us complete peace of mind and filled our hearts with joy. We highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly fantastic dog walker. We will absolutely be booking with him again! 🐾❤️
Leo was awesome with our pets. It was our first time leaving our pup Milo who is a 10 month pit with him along with 2 cats. And he took such good care of them and sent us the best pics (professional photography levels) we felt at so much ease knowing Leo is taking care of them. We trusted Leo completely thanks to his amazing communication and care. We most definitely will be using Leo again for caring for our babies and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for utmost care and love for your pets. Thank you so much Leo. You rock !!
I wouldn't have anyone but Leo take care of my fur baby! It is so wonderful to be able to enjoy a vacation without once worrying about Floppy, especially since he's blind! Planningy next vacation already and will be sure to book Leo well in advance!!!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Leo took amazing care of my 12-year old dog Jasper while I was away and made sure he was comfortable and well loved the entire time. It was such a relief to receive daily photo updates—some were adorable, and others were downright hilarious! It was clear Jasper was in great hands and enjoying himself. On top of that, he went above and beyond by tidying up around the house. Everything was neat and clean when I got home, and I could tell he had even vacuumed. It was such a thoughtful touch to return to a clean space after traveling. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with my dog again!
Leo was wonderful with Olaf! He came for a walk and a hang out while I was out for a very long two days of a conference and Olaf took to him right away. He was flexible with our needs and very communicative. He checked in with me before and after his check in and Olaf was very appreciative of the attention. I'd be more than happy to book him again when we need someone to look after Olaf. Thanks Leo!
Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!
