About Leah D.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
While caring for pets in others' homes, the first thing I seek to establish is trust. I get it, I'm a new person invading your pet's space and it's scary! That's why I initially take some time to build rapport through playing and petting, and I start with slow, gentle movements. Once they feel more comfortable around me, my focus shifts to making sure they have all of my attention, everything they need (food, water, clean bed, etc.), and keeping the home a safe space for them while you are away!
Information Leah D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs your pet has ahead of time so I can prepare to give them the best possible care!
A typical day
One of my favorite pet sitting activities is racing with dogs (they always seem to win). I also love to regularly play games that stimulate the mind like hide and seek and tug of war (with cats and dogs).

Flexible, experienced sitter!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of house animals for over a decade, working with all types from small dogs and puppies to my very large white lab Drake and a few different cats! I'm comfortable walking, feeding, crating, managing potty breaks, and diffusing stressful situations (I have a dog who was abused as a puppy and struggles with certain new people so I'm no stranger to barking/feelings of threat). As a sitter, I believe a gentle touch and strong boundaries truly help our pets thrive and grow safely. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!
Reviews
Leah has cared for my pets over the past few years with care and kindness. Leah is responsible, organized and considerate. My dog Bear instantly became obsessed with her and follows her around when she is here. My cats also warmed up to her quickly. Leah is skilled when working with reactivity and behavioral concerns in animals, and offers consistent responses and understanding when appropriate. I would absolutely recommend hiring her to care for your furry loved ones!
