Pet care experience

Dog whisperer and cat aficionado!

Hi there 😄 I am an animal lover, highly responsible human, and am excited to meet and care for your fur babies! I grew up with cats my whole life, often multiple at a time (2-3). I have fostered and owned several dogs and puppies. I will care for your pets like they are my own, and as a pet owner and user of Rover myself, I fully understand the trust and responsibility involved in finding a high quality pet sitter. I am happy to be of service! I have experience with high energy dogs, senior dogs, and have puppy training expertise. I feel confident in understanding, bonding with, and caring for the unique needs of your pets. Since I own two dogs currently, (both very well behaved, super friendly and outgoing) your doggies will be in great company! I take my pups to the dog park at least 2-3 times per week, and usually do at least 1-2 big wilderness hikes as well weekly. I will gladly give your dogs an incredible fun adventure with our family, as well as lots of love and care. Of course, I am also happy to take your pups on solo walks or to certain locations if they do better on walks alone or have other specifications. I’ve grown up with cats since childhood and am very well versed in taking care of them too. I have years of experience house and cat sitting for friends and colleagues. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I’ve known Lia for years and I recommend her highly. She’s skilled and knowledgeable re: cat and dog care and nurture, with experience as a volunteer in local animal shelters: soothing new intake cats/dogs and walking dogs. She’s cared for her own animal companions, too. She’s professional, easy to work with, responsive, responsible. Further, animals really like her.

Hello dog parents, Lia is a very patient, attentive and responsible dog owner. She is great playing with dogs and knows how to connect with them and their unique personalities She also understands that different breeds require different attention as well as dietary sensitivities. Lia is very by the book and absolutely trustworthy.
