About: As a Mommy and animal enthusiast - I take immense pride and joy in my care for ALL babies! We tend to forget that It takes a village to raise ‘em right and I’d be honored to be the chosen addition to helping you raise yours. I currently work “on-call” meaning I have ample amount of free time to invest in to my relationship with your fur babies. Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I have an open floor plan in my apartment and a fenced in front yard for off-leash activities. The street I live on is quiet and family oriented with plentiful CCTV cameras.

About: I have had a passion for caring for dogs since childhood, whether assisting family, friends, or neighbors. Among all aspects of dog care, I particularly enjoy walking them. This includes my dog, who is nearly 13 years old and benefits greatly from extended outdoor activity. His daily walks help maintain his mobility, flexibility, and vitality. I take pride in providing similar exercise and fresh air to other dogs, supporting their health and well-being through regular walks. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule and am available daily, mostly from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. This gives me plenty of time to spend quality moments with your furry companions, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I create a secure and comfortable environment during every walk, ensuring your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I typically walk one dog at a time to give them my full attention—unless a pet owner has more than one pup and all dogs are comfortable walking together. With experience and genuine care, I aim to build lasting trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has always had a couple of pets. I have had and taken care of dogs and cats from 8 weeks old to when they have become seniors.

I have lots of flexibility with my schedule that allows me to give the attention your pets need. No one knows their pets better than their owners, so that is how I get my baseline. I try to learn whatever I can from you to help deliver the best experience possible to you and your pets.

Leslie P.
“Having Leslie take care of my fur baby was the best decision I made. We left on a 10 day long vacation and Leslie was the best pet caregiver. I felt at ease on my vacation knowing Chewbacca was in the best hands. She provided updates throughout his stay which helped put my mind at ease. Chewy tends to stop eating when we leave on vacation but his weight did not drop from his stay w Leslie. Without a doubt hire Leslie for your pet needs. She’s a loving, caring and takes great care of dogs. She’s become my go to dog sitter!”

Melissa P.
“Melissa has owned pets her entire life- she tells me stories of rescuing stray cats as a young child and finding them good homes. I bring this up because she continued this into her adult life and has owned, personally, a vast majority of pets including a lot of cats and dogs. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about training and general care taking of an animal. Apart from having plenty of space in her heart to love any dog or cat, she always helps friends and family with their pets as well when they need dog sitting or help in any way. She’s incredibly reliable and professional, and fully understands what it means to take on the responsibility of taking care of another persons pets.”
