I love spending time with animals!

Pet care experience

I have had a cat for six years and a dog for four years. Both of them were rescues that I trained myself. I read all sorts of books on caring for animals when I first got them, so that I could provide them with the best possible care. I will in turn use my knowledge to provide your pets with the best possible care as well.

Leon is an extremely caring and reliable pet owner. His dog Cocoa is one of the happiest and most well-cared for pets that I know. He always ensures that she gets plenty of walks and enrichment, and feeds her healthy dog food full of good protein and fiber. If I ever need someone to dog sit for me, Leon is always the person I ask first!

Leon used to take care of my babies whenever I would deploy or go to the field for training. I have a really sweet old golden retriever who needs quite a bit of attention and care/medications. Leon always took wonderful care of Jelly and my 3 cats every time! I think he might slip Jelly some treats though because she seems to love him more than me 😅 jk. But I can honestly say that Leon is an animal lover and always encourages proper behavior and house rules and everyone loves him!

Leon is a very dependable and responsible person! He cares greatly for his pets and I would rely on him with 100% confidence to watch mine as well!

Information Leon M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or medications that they take ahead of time so that I can adequately care for them!

A typical day

I am a early riser. The first thing I do is walk my dog around the neighborhood. And as long as school isn’t in session yet, I usually let my dog run around in the big field at the middle school right next to me to burn off some energy.

I'm working part-time, but I am mostly remote and work from home (or wherever I can bring my laptop and have an internet connection). I very rarely get called into the office, but if I do I will be sure to give you notice if it conflicts with my schedule.
