Walks and play, rain or shine!
Pet care experience
I have had pets my whole life and adopted my own dog as soon as I was able. I am knowledgable about dog and cat care, enrichment, body language, and basic training! I have been the go-to dog sitter for my friends for several years. I especially love taking dogs for long walks in the woods in southern Maine!
Reviews
Leah was wonderful to work with! She offered to come over for a meet and greet to get to know our dog ahead of time, and she was really communicative each day. She even gave us some great training suggestions! Our dog loved her right off the bat. We'd love to have Leah walk our dog any time the need arises!
Leah is great with dogs, whether many or few, big or small, well-behaved or a bit naughty. I know her dog Teeva, who is everyone's favorite, and Leah has also watched many of my friends dogs. Leah is attentive, patient, and loves to take anyone for a long walk. I can really trust Leah, and the pups always come back happy and tired! Thanks Leah!
As a dog owner myself, I go to and send other dog owners to Leah for advice on any and all things dog training. She has given me professional level advice on leash training and leash walking, how to teach my dog new behaviors, unlearning bad habits, boundary training, promoting positive dog to dog interactions, and how to reduce anxiety in a rescue---all using a positive feedback model. I have complete trust in Leah's ability to care for my dog and others' dogs and feel minimal dog mom anxiety when leaving my dog in her care.
About Leah C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to detail, flexible, and reliable. I live near a big park where I walk my own dog every day. I am big on physical and mental stimulation for dogs and paying attention to whether they are comfortable!
Information Leah C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, fears or habits. Also, if your dog likes to play with other dogs, let me know ahead of time and I can bring my dog too. She loves to run with all other dogs.
A typical day
I am knowledgable of several low trafficked trails in Cumberland County and I love to get outside with dogs. I also do DIY dog puzzles for those pups who need more mental stimulation to tire out too! If it’s ok with you, plenty of treats will be given.
