Professional, reliable pet provider
Pet care experience
As a life-long animal lover, I have provided care for dogs, cats, horses, etc. throughout my life, and professionally over the past 10 years. I love exercising and having fun with dogs and am extensively experienced in specific care needs, such as medication administration and specialty diets. I am highly caring, attentive, and responsible. Animal safety and wellness are of my utmost concerns. I have wanted a pet, particularly a dog very, very much the past few school years, but my doctoral program and consultant work require frequent travel. Spending time with your pet(s) would be a real treat, as I adore animals! Since my family dog passed in 2016, having that walking and playing buddy is missed. I also grew up riding and taking care of cats, horses, and other farm animals, and am open to additional animal care opportunities. I am an educator specializing in working with special needs and/or Indigenous students. As a native of Northern New Mexico, I primarily grew up on my grandpa's land, where we maintained a small farm and packs of huskies. I have also worked with training and transitioning assistance dogs with special needs youth. I look forward to providing you and your pet family with excellent care!
Reviews
Leanna took great care of our pets and house while we were away. She communicated well with us before and during the stay. We look forward to having her watch them again and know the pets do, too!
Leanna is the best pet sitter I have ever had. Not only is she prompt and her schedule flexible, but my two dogs adore her. She is responsible about changing the puppies' water if it is low, adjusting the temperature of the room depending on the weather conditions and alerting me to any changes is my babies' behavior. I also LOVE the little notes she leaves each time she takes the dogs for a walk. I would recommend Leanna for anyone looking for a dependable, responsible, enthusiastic pet sitter!
Leanna is a fantastic communicator and care giver. We will not hesitate to use you again. She was professional, courteous, and provided great communication. This is the first time using a pet sitting service so I was hesitant regarding a ‘stranger’ in the house. Can’t think of anything Leanna could do better. On Monday of last week Leanna noticed that my dog was peeing more than usual. The next day Leanna noticed that my dog was squatting to pee but nothing was coming out. Leanna informed me of both issues either thru text or notes. Sure enough my pup had a UTI. I am so thankful for Leanna's observations and immediate feedback. I had not noticed this and am so grateful that Leanna not only noticed this right away but also informed me immediately and continued to follow up with me on her prognosis. She always keep me informed of her visits with my dog and provides great details of what they did that day.
I was with Leanna last weekend. She really showed great concern and care for my 4 dogs and was very descriptive in her emails to me while I was away on holiday. By far, she has been the best pet sitter I've had. I would really like to keep using her from here on out as the pet sitter for my animals. My dogs really liked her and she just took such good care of them. It was a great experience and I knew from the "get go" upon meeting her, my dogs were in excellent hands. I am truly a satisfied and happy client!
