Dog Mom of 1 floofy pup!
Pet care experience
I'm Lea and I moved to Ottawa from Germany in 2015 - I'm a dog lover and German at heart (I love being on time!). I have a 5-year old dog of my own: my Sheltie Clint! I got him as a puppy and he’s my ride or die. We love going on long walks by the Arboretum and Commissioners Park, or the occasional trip to the dog park around the corner. Rain or Shine, we're always out! If you'd like, I can include your furry friend into my walks with my own dog to give them more confidence, or I can pop by and walk them by themselves if they are not a fan of other dogs. I'm confident in handling dogs that have special requirements (just let me know!) and absolutely love sending owners photo updates during the day. I will love your dog like my own! Any special rules or requests you might have, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Reviews
Lea was great - I called her short notice and trusted her sight unseen with my dog, as there was no time to meet up pre-trip. (2 dog walks over 2 days). In this less than ideal scenario, she managed all the details no problem, of pick up and dog details, meeting dog sight unseen, and gave my dog great 1-hour walks and ball time in the park. My dog is less than easy to manage as well as a highly-energetic somewhat trained 1.5 yr old Bordie (border collie/Ozzie). Lots of pix too. Thanks Lea! Maybe we will meet some day. lol
Lea was amazing! Read my (very extensive) care guide in depth. She was responsive and very respectful of my space. Lea was extremely diligent and provided updates as needed. Extremely kind and helpful. My 10 week old puppy had a blast with her. Looking forward to having Lea again!
Lea is so great with Bo! She was on time for his scheduled walk, and took some cute photos. She also helped with some sit training while on their walk since Bo can get excited when he sees other dogs. I will definitely be booking Lea again! Highly recommend.
Lea is awesome! Very friendly and professional. She clearly loves dogs and her work, and she is very good about trying to be available even when requests are on short notice. Our dog LOVES Lea. Highly recommend!!

Information Lea A. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or requirements, or even anxiety on walks, please don't hesitate to let me know. My Sheltie used to have severe anxiety outdoors, and I've trained with him the past couple of years to make him more confident! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
A typical day
I love exploring different trails in the Arboretum or small park nearby. Since I own a Sheltie, playing fetch in the park is my expertise (really: I never get tired of throwing a ball) - mental/physical stimulation is key!
