Pet care experience

Must love dogs

Hello, my name is LēRae and I have one dog. Her name is Josie and she is husky shepherd. I grew up with dogs and have always had a furry roommate/coworker at every stage of my life. My family had rescued three pitbulls while I was growing up, so I am familiar with the process of taking in a dog and allowing them to become comfortable with you on their terms- especially in a home they are not familiar with. Since my own dog is a husky, I am most familiar with high-energy dogs. I work from home and we go on walks at least three times daily. Additionally, my building has a dog run. I use Rover both as a sitter and as a client so I understand the circumstances of ensuring your pup is in quality care. I do insist on meet & greets, as the potential client should always meet their sitters beforehand. As a client, I prefer pic/video updates at least three times a day and will ensure you receive the same standard.

Lerae watched our senior dog for a week and we had the absolute best experience. We received pictures every day and felt completely at ease. Hope to have Lerae watch our dog the next time we travel.

My dog had a fun time staying with Lerae, he probably felt like he was away at camp! She also provided frequent updates with pictures which I appreciated so much. I would highly recommend her!

Lerae was AMAZING with my dog. She gave frequent honest updates with pictures that showed my dog living her best life lol. She understands dogs and was so loving with my high energy dog, and her dog and mine became BFFs quickly. Highly recommend using her.

Lerae is my go-to for caring for my senior dog while I’m away. She is very communicative and provides excellent updates. I can travel and know that my dog is in the best hands. I highly recommend, Lerae.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom apartment with dog neighbors on both sides of me so noise is not an issue. My dog is a husky and can be verbal at times and will likely try to talk to your pup.
