Pet care experience

Your pet’s best friend 🐾

I grew up in DR with Rottweilers, turtles and a huge cage with 50+ parakeets. I moved to NYC in 2006 & when i turned 17, I adopted a cat, Milo. I have now been in VA for a little over 5 years but also often stay in NYC as I visit family & friends. During the last 7+ years, my friends, neighbors, family & clients have relied on me to pet sit their babies as my own. With me you can expect your pups to go on walks, get cuddles, relax on the couch, get play time in & whatever their routines usually follows! I service a radius of 65miles in VA anywhere from Front Royal/Winchester to McLean/Great Falls/Bethesda/DMV area. I also service 20/25 miles within NYC as i have clients/references in both. I am currently house sitting full time & can do walks/drop in, in NYC. I will be available for you guys 24/7 during bookings. I look forward to meeting you all😊🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I will be caring for your babies as if they were my own. They are my main focus & priority. Let me know if there’s anything in specific you’d like me to do or if you have a routine that you’d like me to follow. I’m usually pretty high energy & go on hikes/walks but If your dog prefers to relax, I’m ok with cuddling up, taking it easy and watching tv! I cater to each pup’s individual needs. I’ve taken care of chickens, bunnies, birds & snakes(no feeding, just water), kittens, cats & small-large dogs including bathing, feeding, walking, lots of play time, treats & cuddles. I’m happy to clean up, organize, take out your trash & bring in mail while I house sit. Feel free to let me know if you need anything else! Grooming is an additional charge.

Leonarda takes such great care of our fur babies! She always arrives on time and gives our two dogs love while we are not home. Additionally she takes very good care of our home while she stays here. It is a relief to know our dogs and home are taken care of while on vacation!

Leonarda was great. She was able to cover watching my dog who had an unexpected doggie illness. I would highly recommend.

Leonarda was an incredible sitter for Nova! She stepped in last minute for a 5-day stay and was so communicative and responsive the entire time. I got plenty of updates and great photos, which made me feel very at ease. Nova was clearly well cared for, and my place was left super tidy and organized when I got back. I’d absolutely book with her again!
