Pet care experience

Hello!! My name is Leah! I’ve been working with animals my entire life and I’m so passionate about it, I’m planning to attend school to become a licensed veterinarian starting next semester! I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals from dogs to cats to horses to bunnies to hamsters, including some pets of my own. I’ve worked for doggy daycares and dog breeders. I’ve had a lot of experience working with dogs of multiple sizes and am comfortable with large breeds, I have two german shepherds of my own actually! I have had a lot of experience, also, in properly distributing medications to animals so if your little furry friend needs meds while you’re away, I can assure you they will be properly taken care of. I have two cats of my own and have had experience caring for cats of all ages through past and current work experiences, even including helping with cat labor!! I would love to meet your furry friend and help you out with taking care of them!

We were in a bind after a few attempts failed attempts at finding a Rover we contacted Leah. She responded later that day and accepted our offer. It was around Christmas , and I realized everyone is busy, but her responses after that we’re not so prompt . We set up the meet and greet and Leah came by to see the dogs and our home. A few days before our scheduled departure we needed to adjust the start time. We tried for a couple of days to contact Leah and was not getting any responses. Finally she replied and we gave her the updated info. We have two dogs ( a13yr old lab and a 10 month old golden retriever) both are house trained and the puppy had not had an accident in our home since he was 4 months old. Upon our return we noticed the smell of an accident and found a bag of poop on our back deck. I totally understand accidents will happen. But Leah never mentioned this to us. We also found a small amount of vomit in our bedroom. We do not have security cameras. We just ask that Leah be here most of the time and not leave the dogs for more than 4hrs. It’s possible the dogs had some anxiety while we were gone … we will never know. We never laid down rules for Leah to have visitors, but there was friend of hers here when we got home . I assumed it was over night . Trust is the most important factor in hiring a Rover and we did not have this feeling while we were on vacation and definitely after we returned. I gave her rating based on the trust level when we returned.

Information Leah H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know at least three days in advance about any medicine or medical issues your dog may have so I can properly care for the dog while you’re away. I would also love to be informed ahead of time about any behavioral issues the dog may have whether it’s aggression toward other animals or being protective of the food bowl, anything that you think I should be aware of to keep everything relaxing for both your furry friend and I.

A typical day

I love to be active with dogs, whether it’s my own dogs or someone else’s. I’ll be taking them on long walks around the neighborhood or nature preserves, throw their ball around the empty field near my house, take them swimming in a clean pond, and play with them in the yard.
