Originally from Indiana, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a BA in Public Relations. Since then, I have gained diverse sales experience in corporate America, working at companies such as Angie’s List, Indeed, HomeAdvisor, and Verizon, as well as hospitality in restaurants like Houlihan’s, Cheeseburger in Paradise, and Cooper’s Hawk. I have often volunteered at various animal organizations, including the Humane Society of Indianapolis, LaPorte County Animal Shelter, Frieds Cat Shelter, and Blue Moon Sanctuary and many more. It hadn’t yet clicked to get into petcare as a career, until 2022.
Growing up, every home in my family was filled with pets – dogs, birds, or cats. Despite being an only child, my beloved collie/sheltie, Olivia, was like a sister to me. I’ve also shared my home with a bunny, cockatiels, parakeets, fish, and turtles. My love for animals was so profound that at one point, I was restricted from going outside alone because I kept bringing various animals home, including frogs, squirrels, raccoons, turtles, dogs, cats, birds, lightning bugs, butterflies, and even a wild turkey!
In addition to my passion for animals, I enjoy playing chess, scrapbooking, performing stand-up comedy (yes, it’s true!), rollerblading, bike riding, and being in or around water. Beach is life! I’m also a huge Hello Kitty fan and dream of visiting Japan to experience everything Hello Kitty.
Since moving to Round Rock, Texas in November 2018, I’ve built an incredible network of friends who have become like family. After another mass company lay-off, it finally clicked to go into business for myself! After a conversation with a beloved colleague, Lydia Eager, I got my start on Rover then joined the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters where I’ve been growing a ton of business knowledge ever since!
When you choose to hire me, you’re selecting someone who is well-versed in animal care and deeply respects their spirit. I dedicate my full attention and care to your pet during our time together.
Hi! I’m Lorina, the newest member and Operations Manager at You Can Leave Petsitting. I’m thrilled to be part of such a passionate and caring team, and I’m here to help the company continue to grow and provide the best possible service to both our clients and their pets! In my role, I oversee the day-to-day operations, making sure everything runs smoothly—from coordinating bookings to answering any questions you may have. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
As a part-time cat sitter myself, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for animals and understanding what it takes to make them feel safe and loved. This personal experience, combined with my love for animals, inspired me to join the team. I look forward to contributing to the company’s success and ensuring that every pet and pet owner we work with feels valued and well cared for.
Hi friends! My name is Mariella. I moved to Texas four years ago and have loved the Austin vibes ever since! As a Program Manager at Boy Scouts of America, I worked closely with the community, focusing on outreach and making lasting relationships. I also joined La Tribu Montessori, and had the pleasure of serving as both the bilingual Director and Social Media Manager, engaging with families in English and Spanish to help grow the school’s community.
Now, as a proud pet lover, I live with my adorable puppy, Ori, along with my husband and daughter. My passion for animals and love of storytelling inspire me to create content that truly reflects the care and attention pets receive in our care.

When you return, your home will be in the same condition as you left it. I am tidy and will vacuum and lightly sweep before your arrival. Your pet and I will have a great time together! I enjoy playing tug of war, fetch, and cuddling. I even share jokes with them and engage in friendly banter about the other neighbor dogs.
I reside in an RV community, which limits me from accommodating large animals. However, I can provide an extra crate for smaller animals if necessary. I have a large, affectionate dog as a companion, so handling animals over 30 lbs may pose a challenge. There is a spacious running track near my residence for our walks and playtime. Additionally, I am in proximity to a sizable dog park where my dog and I visit every other day for some socializing.
Reservations in my home are only valid for pets within the Blessing RV Community.
I am interested in learning about your pet's preferences and aversions, so please share all the things they love and dislike! Unfortunately, I do not accept dogs with aggressive tendencies, destructive behaviors, a tendency to dig, the ability to jump over fences, or a high prey drive. Pets that lack chill and cannot relax will not be suitable for my environment but would be happy to stay at your home instead!
