Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Leora, I'm a massive animal lover with decades of experience caring for cats and dogs alike, and I would love to help out with your furry loved one(s). I initially came to Rover as a client, then in early 2020 applied to be a sitter as a fun side hustle, and wound up loving it here so much it's now my main gig! Whatever the species, size, age, or breed of your little buddy, I'm in, I'm down, I love them already. My last partner-in-crime was a tough old pup who lived to 16 against considerable odds, so I've got a particular fondness for older pets, and I'm very comfortable managing mobility limitations, as well as a wide range of health conditions. I have extensive experience administering oral medications, injections, ear and eye drops, skin creams and ointments, skunk baths - whatever their needs, you can be sure they're in good hands with me :)
Reviews
There's no words to express how much I appreciate Leora. She really makes me feel confident and happy that my cat is getting the best care. Leora is the only person I know who is allowed to brush my cat and hold her like a baby. Thank you again, Leora (and adorable assistants!)
thx for taking care of Sam over a holiday weekend.
Leora is responsible, dependable and flexible. Rocca loves her and can't wait for Leora to show up at the house to take her for her walks when I am travelling.
Awesome as always!!

I am unfortunately unable to provide care in my home at this time. I am also currently unable to provide overnight services in your home.
Information Leora R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is rain, cold, and/or heat averse - you'll find me out walking in any and all weather conditions, but I'll happily make accommodations if/where I can. It's always my intention to match as best I can the routine and the care you would be giving if you were there, so any and all information you'd like to share is super helpful and appreciated!
A typical day
Walks and visits can be booked for 30 or 60 minutes. Either of those can include time for feeding, medication, litter-maintenance, playing, snuggles, or anything else that you/they may need.

Availability
I currently walk dogs every weekday from 10-4. My regular route spans Buffalo Grove and Wheeling, as well as parts of Riverwoods/Deerfield, Vernon Hills, Lake Zurich and Palatine. I do sometimes have enough wiggle room to squeeze in an extra walk or two along the way, but please be advised: my bustling slate of regular pups keep me pretty busy during those peak hours, so capacity is likely to be very limited. Outside of peak hours, I am available for walks and visits 7 days a week from 9am-9pm. On weekdays, that typically means I have about an hour available in the morning for cat/dog visits before I need to start my regular route, and then my availability opens back up for the evening around 4. Weekends are far more flexible! *As of fall 2024, my regular weekday afternoon walk schedule has reached full capacity Monday-Thursday. Regular appointment slots are still available for Fridays only. Late afternoon appointments (3:00 or later) may also be available M-F upon request.*
