Man’s best friend
Pet care experience
****Please note new changes *** I recently adopted and rescued a sweet 1 yr old Havanese mix dog. He's very friendly and very chill with animals including cats. For dog sits, I would request that he come with me (although he might not and he might stay home with his mom). I have an extensive history with animals. Lastly, a new update, I will not accept dogs who are aggressive with other dogs moving forward. I have owned three dogs, two cats, and two ferrets in the past. I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a young boy. I currently adopted a new dog and he is a sweet angel and very well-behaved. You will get constant updates on how your dog is doing on a daily basis. I will take them on fun adventures to hiking trails, beaches, or parks. I am a firm believer that dogs are really man's best friends and will treat your furry friend as if he/she was my own, with lots of love. Look forward to meeting with you and your dog.
Reviews
Leonard was responsive, prompt and communicative throughout the entire experience with him sitting for my pup. He also sent photos of her during the period I was away. He was helpful, friendly and seems to genuinely love dogs. I highly recommend Leonard to anyone anxious about leaving their precious pup with a stranger. He put everyone at ease instantly with his professional, helpful and relaxed demeanor interacting with us and our pup.
Once again Leonard surpasses my expectations. He goes above and beyond for lulu and Luna. I really don’t know what to do without him.
Leonard is the best. Kind, compassionate, dependable, great communicator, and trustworthy. My dog loves their time together.
Leonard is now family to me. He treats my dogs as if they were his own. The level of love and kindness he gives to them shows how truly amazing he is. His daily updates and photos help me get through being away from them and seeing them so happy warms my heart.

Safety, trust & environment
If I am in the home/boarding, I will ensure your dog is fed and adheres to their normal routines. Nothing changes when I care for them, except we might be hiking a lot depending on their age and if they can handle that; if not, we chill locally and take small local walks or let them outside for relief.
