“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!”

Keep up the good work!”
