Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Leah and I have been petsitting for almost 15 years. I gained my petsitting experience from babysitting clients who wanted someone they knew and trusted to take care of their pets and homes. Through these experiences, I have cared for young puppies and older dogs (in addition to dogs in their younger years). I have worked with pit bulls, pit bull mixes, great danes, labs, and mixed breeds. I like to base play off of what your dogs enjoy and what you permit because I believe consistency helps reduce any anxiety a pet may feel while their human is at work or away for the weekend. I also have experience with petsitting for families with multiple dogs. I usually take the dogs for walks together unless otherwise specified. I am working on getting my certification for pet First Aid and CPR to better care for your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby! *During the SUMMER season I have a very large amount of availability. During the SCHOOL YEAR I am only available in the evenings for Drop-Ins and Walks. (While rare, some weekdays I am available for walks, drop-ins, and petsitting during the day. Please don't hesitate to ask!) **I currently DO NOT accept walking, drop-in, or petsitting assignments at hotels. The only exceptions would be if I know you or have worked with you previously.
Reviews
I know I’ve left a few reviews for Leah from Dog Walking experiences but I want to leave one about my recent House Sitting experience: I had a trip planned with girlfriends and had expected to leave my dog at a boarding facility. We did a test run at day care and my dog was so upset when I picked him up (too overwhelmed) that I knew this wasn’t a good option for him. (Id have felt too bad and wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my time away). Without knowing what else to do, I messaged Leah. It was short notice and (to be totally honest) I was pretty nervous to have someone stay at my house. Leah has been great for dog walking so it was certainly not personal - I just have never had a relative stranger stay at my home - alone. I got home this afternoon and my house was exactly as I left it. And my dog was happy! Everything had been so well cared for. Leah was awesome over the 3 day stay, sending me regular updates and pictures. I am so grateful! THANK YOU, LEAH! Bear and I appreciate you so much!
Leah has been walking Johann weekly for the last 6 months and has been consistently reliable and great! Johann is always super excited to see her, and she follows his health regimen closely with no issues (he's a dachshund that had back surgery). Will continue to use her services. Highly recommend!!!!
We love Leah’s quick responsiveness, detailed communication, and sweet personality. She is so great with our doggies!
Always a 5 star experience! Thank you, Leah!

Skills
Information Leah B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know information about each dog (i.e. what they like/dislike, what their favorite toys and foods are, if they're scared of things like rain or storms, etc). I also like to know about any special needs a dog may have (such as injuries and medications) so I can best care for them.
A typical day
I cannot offer boarding at this time, however, if I am pet sitting at someone's home or walking their dog, I will take their dogs on walks near their home or a nearby park if permitted. As for fun activities, I love to play games and toys with dogs, so please be sure to tell me your dogs' favorites! I also realize that some dogs just want to cuddle, so cuddling is another option too, of course.
