Pet care experience
Much of my pet care taking experience comes from caring for my family’s pets. I’ve had cats since I was six, currently I have a torbie named Pancake who I’m working on leash training. I’ve picked up some skills in that realm if you’d like me to attempt to leash train your cat. I’ve also pet sat up to four elderly dogs at a time, mostly small - medium breeds, but I’m also comfortable with larger breeds. I used to walk some of the neighborhood dogs as a teenager back in Miami, including a 2yo pitbull mix, so I’m pretty confident in my ability to walk/ care for most breeds. I can pretty much do anything outside of extrapolating glands and grooming. I’m currently waiting to start graduate school, so I’ve got plenty of time free until my start date in August. I do have to attend to Pancake, so I have to be home at least once a day for a couple of hours. Otherwise I’m very flexible. I’m currently only offering pet care outside of my own apartment in order to respect Pancake’s space, she’s a bit picky about other animals unfortunately. While caring for your furry buddy in your home I will generally just follow your routine with them. That way although their human is gone the day has a sense of consistency. I’ve cared for geriatric pets on medications before, so I’m always sure to follow instructions very closely and ask questions if there’s anything I don’t know. Having an owner away is an upsetting time for every pet, so I do my best to make it a bit easier with fun distractions like going on walks, playing in the yard, or just lots of ear scratches.
Reviews
Levi was wonderful. He kept our dog and cat in our home for nearly two weeks. He sent regular updates and photos of our pets and was kind enough to take care of all of our plants outside for us. We will definitely use him again.
Levi was great! There were regular updates and our pup seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely have Levi come back!
Levi is the best! In working with Levi, I appreciated their communication skills, thoughtfulness, and that extra care in making sure Otis was safe. I decided to take Otis with me one day and didn't understand that I should have canceled the booking, so if there was a tarnish on Levi's page, it was totally my bad. I look forward to working with Levi again.
Very responsive & attentive! 10/5 stars

When caring pets outside of my home, I will follow your instructions for care and maintenance. When I’m hanging out with your furry friend, we’ll probably go on multiple walks, play outside, and they’ll get plenty of head scratches and belly rubs.
Information Levi D. would like to know about your pet
It would be helpful for me to have a step by step guide of a typical day with your pet. How often you walk them, how often they’re fed, and what medications they take, if any, are the three most essential things for me to know.
A typical day
I typically take most dogs I sit on walks depending on their ability to do so. If I’m caring for an older pup with a less energy, we’ll spend time together outside in the sun, probably doing something a little more sedentary.

Availability
I’m currently waiting to start a graduate program for my MA in clinical mental health counseling, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care right now.
