Your Pet's Best Friend!

I have loved animals since I was a young child. My family always had pets when I was growing up; ranging from parakeets and cockatiels, to betta fish, to dogs and cats. I currently have a great, fearless, and very treat-driven cat named Julio, whom I care for with my partner. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, including my mom's dog and cat when I visit during the holidays and whenever she has had to travel to visit family.

Leonardo was reliable and communicative, and took the time to hang out and play with Indigo. I would absolutely book him again.

Communication is such a critical element of a successful “sitting” and Leo’s approach is a prime example of a five-star experience. Leo watched my “fur babies” overnight. There was never a time that I wondered how things were going, and if Leo had a question or observation to share, he was quick to reach out. I highly recommend Leo - in fact we have already booked him again!

Leonardo was excellent! He was super communicative and very sensitive to our pup who can be a bit nervous especially with fireworks. He left our house just as he found it. We would definitely recommend him and book again! Thank you.

Leonardo took wonderful care of my two senior cats, including one that requires medication twice a day, while I was gone for the weekend. They were clearly well tended to when I came home. He was very communicative and lovely to work with. I would definitely choose Leonardo again and recommend others to do the same!

Leo was absolutely wonderful with our three senior pets. We have two cats that need medication twice daily and a dog that takes a daily tablet, and Leo followed every instruction to the letter. I left detailed care guidelines and he was amazing with it. Communication was a huge standout. He sent pictures and updates multiple times a day without me having to ask. Based on the photos, it looks like our animals really warmed up to him, and I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. I always have a hard time feeling comfortable leaving my pets in someone else’s care, but Leo made that easy through everything he did and by staying in our home with them. On top of all that, he kept our place clean and even vacuumed before I got home, which was incredibly thoughtful. We’d definitely book Leo again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!

Schedule

I'm currently writing my PhD Dissertation so I oftentimes want to take a break and relax, which I can do by checking in on your pets. Other than feeding and playing with my cat, Julio, there are other times in the afternoon and evening when I can make sure to spend time feeding and taking care of your pets.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Leonardo can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog needs special attention during walks, such as avoiding off-leash dogs, making sure that they don't eat anything off the street, etc. For cats, let me know if your cat is outgoing or shy so that I can modify my behavior accordingly!
