Availability

Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it.

Safety, trust & environment

As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

Information Leonel H. would like to know about your pet

Before I start caring for your pets, I’d love to know a little more about them to ensure they feel comfortable and happy! Could you share any preferences, routines, or special needs they have? It would also be helpful to know if they have any favorite toys, activities, or places they like to hang out. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me!

A typical day

There are plenty of fun activities I can do with the pets I watch, depending on their personality, energy level, and preferences! Here are some engaging activities for both dogs and cats: For Dogs Walks & Adventures – Exploring new trails, parks, or just a fun stroll around the neighborhood Fetch & Tug-of-War – Great for active pups who love to run and play Puzzle Toys & Treat Games – Keeps their minds engaged and prevents boredom Water Play – Sprinklers, kiddie pools, or even beach trips for water-loving dogs Training & Tricks – Fun mini-training sessions with treats to reinforce commands and stimulate their brains For Cats Interactive Play – Using wand toys, laser pointers, or feather teasers for a fun chase Box & Tunnel Exploration – Cats love to hide and jump out of cardboard boxes or tunnels Hunting Games – Hiding treats or toys around the house to stimulate their natural instincts Sunbathing & Bird Watching – Setting up a cozy window perch so they can watch the world outside Gentle Grooming & Cuddles – For affectionate cats, brushing and lap time can be relaxing and enjoyable Whether they love to run, explore, or just relax, I make sure every pet gets the attention and engagement they need to feel happy and loved!

Bilingual Pet Love

Pet care experience

Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕

Leo was great. He came through for us in a pinch. Will definitely use him again!

Our tri-pawd Sadie was in excellent care with attentiveness and patience. She even got a happy day end of trip dancing lesson from how excited she was. Admittedly our pup is more senior and needed a little extra watching over. I would definitely use Leonel's services again.

Leonel was great! Very communicative, on top of medication, and a safe home for Marco. Would definitely book with him again. Thanks for a great stay!

Leonel provided excellent care on fairly short notice and went the extra mile when the trip was extended unexpectedly. I knew Ripley was in good hands, safe and loved—even spoiled. I'd be happy to book with Lionel again.
