Highlights
Pet care experience
Love all pets!
I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. Until 2022, I shared my life with my beautiful pug, Pia, who was truly the best thing that ever happened to me. Through her, I learned that excellent dog care requires consistency, attentiveness, and genuine love. I am experienced in providing structured daily care — healthy, appropriate meals, regular walks, fresh water, clean bowls, and bathing when necessary. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly to their needs. I also understand that dogs, like people, have emotional needs. If they’re feeling achy, anxious, or simply a little sad, I offer gentle massage, comfort, and calm companionship. When your dog is with me, they will be treated as family — safe, respected, exercised, and loved. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a adorable cottage in the McDonald neighborhood in Santa Rosa. I am able to stay with your pet if you need to travel. Long term arrangements need to be planned with enough notice.
Ratings and reviews
Leo has watched my pets thought out the years. It started 8 years ago with my first pug and continues through today. He is the best!
Leo loves pets. I’ve seen the care and love he has for Pia, his 15 year old pug. There is no one else I would trust more with my two pugs.
Leo watched my elderly pug who had many health issues. He took amazing care of my old man. I could tell that he absolutely loves dogs and is patient and kind even with a very high need dog. I highly recommend Leo!
If there is anyone who will treat your pet with the attention, patience, and kindness that you would require in your absence.. it’s Leo! I have 3 children and 2 dogs and I have left all of them in Leo’s care and I never had a moment of concern. Leo has a 15+ year old Pug Pia who is showered with love and attention! No time, nor money is spared to provide Pia with everything required for an amazing life! There is no doubt that Leo is my “go to” when I need someone to watch my dog or walk my dog when I am at work or traveling. Honestly, if you ever have the opportunity to have Leo watch or walk your dog, you’ll be immediately convinced that he is the “dog whisperer!” He will also become your “go-to” for your pet!
Leo and I have been close friends for decades and one of the most important elements of our friendship is our shared love of animals. He is someone who has genuine empathy for all animals and goes out of his way in order to help them for example, raising funds to benefit ones in need. His dog, Pia and my cats are always the number one topic of our conversation. His schedule and vacations are always organized in way that Pia never misses anything. When i invited him over to a friend’s house,where I dog sat, my friend’s dog not only took immediate liking to him but also listened to him more than he would to me. If I travel, or need help with my cats, i know I can count on Leo and I don’t have to worry for a second.
