Very easy to coordinate and communicate. Leslie sends informative updates and photos. Dogs were well taken care of. Absolutely my go to sitter. The layout of the house is very dog friendly. They settled in quickly and had the whole house to themselves. Leslie is amazing to go extra mile to create home away from home replicating all home conditions for dogs.

Leigh always does an excellent job caring for my cat. She is on time with pickup and drop off and she sends cute pictures of my cat! I can tell she treats him like her own. Leaving your pet with a stranger can be so scary but Leigh is someone who has been proven to be trustworthy. I will continue to board my cat with Leigh, she is a great pet sitter!

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

Marcela and Michelle were responsive, attentive, and thorough with our pups! They went above and beyond to cater to our pups' allergies and activity levels, catering to their different needs with the focus and care of true pet-lovers and experts. I usually have nagging thoughts and worries about whether my pups are happy while I'm away, but not this time! Their first stay with Marcela and Michelle let me fully relax knowing that they were in caring and capable hands - it's such a luxury to have connected with them!

We haven't had the best experience with dog boarding, so we were a bit nervous coming in, but as soon as we met Amy and Chelsea, we felt so comfortable and stress-free leaving our baby with them for the weekend. Cappie loved them, and they weren't bothered by her puppy energy. They sent plenty of photos and videos over the weekend, which again helped us feel relaxed about having her away from us. They were also very flexible and great communicators. We immediately booked them again for a long trip we have coming up. Amy and Chelsea - we SO appreciate the care and attention you gave to Cappie. It’s clear how much you love what you do, and it shows in every interaction. We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and communicative sitters. Thank you for treating Cappie like family. We’re so glad to have found you!

It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.

This was my first time using Leslie and she was beyond fantastic! She really took the time to understand each of my dogs needs and took great care of them both. She sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell they both felt comfortable and right at home. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was gone was a huge relief and Poptart and Wally would be so excited to go back!
