About Leo Z.

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.

Information Leo Z. would like to know about your pet

It is important the parent provide details on their pet needs and things they love. This include any medications they take or special food. I will always follow your instructions as I understand that they are you family member.

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with a calm, positive morning routine. After a potty break and a refreshing walk, your dog receives fresh water and a healthy, portion-controlled meal. I always clean water bowls between meal, and keep feeding areas tidy and sanitary. Mid-morning includes playtime and mental stimulation — whether that’s interactive toys, light training reinforcement, or simply engaging companionship. I tailor activity levels to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level. In the afternoon, we go for another walk or structured outdoor time. If needed, I provide light grooming or bathing. I also pay close attention to their physical comfort — if they seem stiff, tired, or a little down, I offer gentle massage and calm reassurance. Evenings are relaxed and comforting. After dinner and a final walk, your dog winds down in a safe, peaceful environment with affection and supervision. I maintain consistency, routine, and clear communication so they feel secure while you’re away. Before bed, I like to allow them time to relieve themselves before bed. My goal each day is simple: healthy care, physical activity, emotional comfort, and a dog who feels safe and loved. ❤️

Pet care experience

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. ❤️

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!
