About: I have been employed at an animal hospitals for 25 years and have pet sat for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and birds over the years. I am trustworthy and reliable I am currently working full-time at an animal hospital 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I can come in the morning midday at lunchtime or after work if you’re in the area, I can also stay overnight at your home if you prefer. I do have a home with 6 acres however I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to care for pets in your home. They are often less stress when they are at home in their own environment and seem much happier at their own home.

“Leah was absolutely amazing and she was so loving to our babies. We can’t thank her enough for taking the time to sit our dogs. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Personalized care in a ranch-style retreat setting, offering unique activities and ample space for play and relaxation.

As natural pack animals, they enjoy social fun and play, from running together through open fields to splashing in water play areas. Our day includes feeding the cows, hayrides, and plenty of outdoor adventures that keep every dog engaged, happy, and feeling like part of the family. It’s a balanced, enriching experience designed to give them a taste of true ranch life!

It’s a balanced, enriching experience designed to give them a taste of true ranch life! We have a fenced play yard for new pups until they are ready to romp off leash and follow commands. We take walks to get out on adventures around the farm. We find many dogs love to dig so we provide opportunities for exploration while providing playtime enrichment activities and socialization. Dogs have the ability to go inside for rest when they are ready to curl up and relax. We have special theme retreat activities like splash n play in the pool and hayrides in the evening as we feed the cows in the winter. All activities are supervised while the dogs play.

About: To me, animals are the most innocent companions we have. They deserve to feel safe, understood, and loved. While I’m not a vet, I bring a deep sense of empathy and a lifelong passion for animals to every interaction. Whether it’s giving meds to a senior dog, helping a disabled pet navigate their day, or handling exotic pets with confidence, I bring calm energy and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. I work 6:30am - 3pm in Lake City, Monday-Friday. So I can do one Lake City trip and one trip in Jasper or Live Oak Monday - Friday. I am free more on the weekends so I can do at least two drop ins on the weekends if needed. I do not care for pets in my own home. But I am trustworthy and believe that an animal should be left in the environment that they are most familiar with. Removing them from their environment to a strangers will cause too much stress so I am not an advocate of bringing animals to my house. As far as my routine, once I get a new client, I will want to meet the new client and their fur child before they leave for their designated trip. It’s SO IMPORTANT they see me interact with their owner and know that I’m not a threat especially in their own environment. This creates trust and builds a bond between myself and the animal. (Cats can be territorial too! I’ve seen them attack intruders. Don’t underestimate them.) Keeping to routine and treats go a long way are my two general rule of thumb. Animals aren’t human and they don’t like a lot of change so continuing the same routine as their owner is important as fat meal times or cleaning out litter boxes. Not to mention giving them treats after every visit lets them be excited for you to come AND leave.

“They took amazing care of all my babies and kept up with everything”
