Pet care experience

Dogs, Cats, and Other Pets/Animals

As a former SPCA volunteer and Alaskan Malamute and Seychellois rescue owner, I have vast experience in dog handling and care. I appreciate the positive energy dogs, cats, and pets in general, share with us humans and understand that animals of different breeds and ages will have different needs. I will be happy to go running with your 2-year old or take it easy with your 14-year old companion. I am the owner of two kitties and have experience in caring for horses, pigs, goats, chickens, tortoises, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and other animals. I live in Yosemite Lakes Park (YLP), Coarsegold, and am willing to travel within a radius of about 15 miles from my home.

Safety, trust & environment

Rest assured that I will closely follow your instructions on how to feed and care for your pets. I never share human food with any pets I sit or give them more or less food than the owner advises me to. I also understand how important it is to follow a prescribed medication schedule (if applicable). I look forward to meeting you and your beloved animal member of your family!

Leona was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive to all of my animals' needs, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves and cares about animals. She arrived on time for every visit and provided detailed updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pig and cat were in her care. She even went above and beyond by watering my plants during my trip. Leona is reliable, thoughtful, and communicative, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She is definitely my new go-to sitter!

She is the best house sitter ever!! dogs were more then loved and well cared for. goats and chickens were also well cared for! House was immaculate! Very good communication, took care of unxpected ssues that happened; around the house for the full 18 days I was gone, from broken hose bib to one dog picking up a tick on their many walks! She went above and beyond all expectations. Highly recommend,

Leona arrived at the times we needed (our dogs have a tight window for peeing in the morning) and she took great care of them. It’s worth mentioning she went out of her way to accommodate our strict timeframe. Highly recommend Leona to watch your dogs/cats.
