Leah can care for
Availability
As a college student I have very flexible hours around my short classes and my weekend work. Everyday I‘m available for drop-ins after 8 am and until as late as needed. For house sitting I will take time off to go to class, and won’t leave your pet unattended for more than 2 hours. This allows me to house sit every day of the week for nice long vacations <3

About Leah B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I am taking care of a clients home I love showering your pet in attention and play, as well as vigilance. My own animals like to get into trouble so safety is paramount to me. I very much respect the privacy and personal space of my clients, and appreciate a thorough rundown of how you’d like me to care in your home
Information Leah B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any needs outside their normal eating, play, and bathroom habits. As well as how they like to interact throughout the day. I would love to learn of any interests or quirks or tricks they enjoy!
A typical day
I very greatly appreciate exercising with dogs, but I enjoy physical play of all types. I would love to hear all of your animals favorite games. I think tug of war is more complex than chess and should be practiced daily. I love seeing what different dogs find interesting on walks, my own needs to be pulled out of every drain pipe. I greatly enjoy biking, hiking, and running with my own girl, and take pride in outlasting and exhausting a puppy’s explosive short term energy.

Reviews
Great communication and very friendly! Went above and beyond
Great job with our cuddly babies. Happy to use Leah again!
Leah did not arrive at the agreed upon time for most evenings of her scheduled visits and she was not prompt in providing an explanation either. She had also gone through my things in my apartment, and I was concerned about how little food was in the dry food bowl (normally always filled) once I returned from my trip. I don't know if she was especially busy with school or something in her life, but I was not impressed with her professional conduct during our visits.
Leah took great care of our dogs in our home, was great with communication, and left the house so clean, like no one had been there. Our husky and bulldog were undoubtedly pains in various ways, but Leah handled them gracefully and we came home to relaxed and tired pups. Hopefully Leah is available next time we need to go out of town!
