Pet care experience

Southern House/Pet Sitter

We've cared for active 9 month old Vizslas and 13 month old labs to a 15 year old Lhasa poodle mix and plott hound. The longest stint was 5 month caring for an 8 year old weimaraner with leukemia going through active chemo treatment. We genuinely enjoy the company of pups of all breeds and ages and the variety that petsitting affords. Cats, hamsters, chickens, and goats are some of our other favorites.

We cannot think Erik and Erika Leigh enough for all they do for our sweet pup when we are gone!! Toast truly loves spending time there and feels at ease while we are away! Thank you both again!!

Our 10 year old lab enjoyed her time with Erika and Eric! She is a very anxious old girl so we appreciate them making her feel so comfortable that she actually ate each day we were gone - very unusual for her. Erika communicated well with us through the whole process and we appreciate the meet and greet as well…. We will for sure send our pup back to them.

Erika and Erik do a great job watching my dog, Ellie Mae. They are attentive and also respond fairly quickly with any updates or questions. They are my go-to sitters.

Our dogs had a great experience staying with Erika and Eric. You could tell they felt very much at home and were loved on. Erika and Eric had great communication and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Would definitely book again!

Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a house with a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and love to be outside with our furry friends. We enjoy playing with their favorite toys as you bring them. We know several of our neighbor's dogs who love play dates. We can go to your home to care for your animals for walks, potty breaks, or companionship. Mail collection and house plant care are also services we can provide. Pictures and updates are an important part of our care for you as well!

A typical day

We love to go for walks. It's good for all of us. Playing fetch or tug-of-war is always fun too! We'd love to hear your pet's favorite activity too.
