Experienced and loving dog carer

Pet care experience

My name is Leah and I am a dog-deprived grad student, pursuing my Masters in Social Work! I live a few minutes walk from Rittenhouse Square, and know it’s the place to be for a pup! I love all dogs of any age, size, and athletic ability. I have had my own pup with special food and medication needs for 16 years, so I know the complexities some dogs may require in order to be best cared for. I am excited to take your best friends out to get some healthy exercise or give them a good belly rub and some love. I have worked with dogs through Rover, Bark, and independently for over 7 years, and will do just about anything to get some extra pupper time in my life! I am so grateful for the opportunity to help take care of your furry best friend!

We had Leah come walk our dog when my boyfriend was out of town and I had to work long night shifts. She was very thorough, sent several photos, and made sure to include pee/poop breaks! She’s our go-to dog walker/dog sitter now!

Leah is amazing! Super sweet and took wonderful care of my pup. Dog sat overnight and cleaned up so well…cleaner than it was before I left! I didn’t expect her to wash all the sheets and put away dishes :) she goes above and beyond, and I she will be the first one I contact when I need a sitter in the future. Definitely recommend!

I cannot express how divine Leah is ! ! ! She is prompt with responding. Kind and thoughtful with her actions. And very thorough. A few examples. She dropped me off + picked me up at the airport. Took my dogs on long leash-free walks and beach days, which are their favorite. Prepared their home cooked meals. Provided me endless photos of their adventures. And left my house immaculate. Cleaner than I left it! If you are looking for anyone to provide unconditional love to your fur babies + maintain your space while you are gone. LEAH IS THE BEST AROUND!

Leah did a phenomenal job house sitting for our dog Maggie. In 9 years, we have never needed a dog sitter (we have family nearby), so we were anxious to leave her for a whole week. Leah completely put our minds at ease by meeting with us beforehand and providing daily updates and photos. She was very easy to reach and left our house spotless. Our dog loved her. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful dog sitter!

Information Leah F. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to let me know of any behavioral, food or medical issues I should be aware of! Most things don’t scare me away, but I do much prefer to begin caring for your dog by having as much information as possible!

A typical day

Typically I go on 20-60 minute walks with the dogs, depending on how much energy they have and the number of walks per day. Walks anywhere are great, but if I can find some grass or a park we’ll head there!
