Information Leah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything about your pet that you feel will impact their experience with me. I want all pets to feel comfortable and enjoy their time in my care.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for slow walks that allow for them to sniff and get that mental stimulation. I also train frequently with my dog which really helps him get energy out. I also like to give pets physical exercise whether that be walking, running, or playing with their toys!

Leah was great. She was on time and sent us great pictures of Baxter. She sent an excellent report and was flexible with the times we needed. She responded quickly to all questions. My husband and I were not worried all day about Baxter. The next time we are in town we would book with Leah.

I cannot recommend Leah enough. She’s gone above and beyond for our three kitties, including giving medicine to our feisty tortie. She’s a great communicator and really cares for the fur babies she looks after. Thanks so much Leah!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
