I am not able to host your pets currently due to having my own cat, but I am happy to come to you to make sure your pet is most comfortable and stays in their routine.

Information Leah H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any history of anxiety or aggression prior to booking. I would also love to know any special needs or quirks they may have.

A typical day

Not only is physical stimulation important, but mental as well. With my background in vet med, I have unique experience to keep your pets entertained all day! A typical visit is all about making your pet happy. I check food and water, take care of potty or litter needs, and spend time playing, walking, cuddling, or just hanging out; whatever your pet loves most. I always do a quick wellness check, tidy up, and send updates so you know your pet is having a great day while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Leah! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on with animals, including time as a vet tech and kennel attendant. I now work remotely and would love to use my extra time to care for and love on your pets while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a calm walk, playful energy, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I’m big on consistency, safety, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. You can expect: 🐶 Plenty of attention, patience, and affection 📸 Regular photo and text updates so you’re never wondering how things are going 🕒 On-time visits and clear communication 🏡 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra reassurance, structure, or a sitter who truly pays attention to details. My goal is always for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet, along with total peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet 😊

Leah has housesit and taken care of my dog Bodie several times now - she’s awesome! Bodie is pretty needy, and Leah does a great job sending me updates, and I know he’s in good hands while I’m gone 😊

Leah is great! I was nervous to use Rover for the first time after my dog had a medical issue and needed more hands on care while I’m away, but Leah made the experience easy and was attentive and caring with him while house sitting - looking forward to having her back soon!

​I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!

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.
