Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible, experienced sitter!
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!
Qualifications
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!
Ratings and 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!
