Wildlife Naturalist Cares for Yours

When I was growing up animals were always a part of the equation, in fact there hasn't been a moment of my life I haven't been around them in some way, shape, or form and this has developed my personality into someone very nurturing and loving. I adore dogs and household animals but I have a wide variety of experience in all types as I am a wildlife conservationist. My experience ranges from the terrestrial animals of Africa like lions and elephants, reptiles like snakes and iguanas, and even the marine animals like elephant seals and dolphins. In the past I worked in South Africa in Marakele National Park, and also at the California Wildlife Center helping to rehabilitate and release sickly or orphaned marine mammals. This is what I'm passionate about and usually find myself in interesting places and because of this I'm very confident when it comes to animals that require special attention. I am adept in medical treatment as I have experience in animals that have diabetes or other forms of health requirements and take their needs very seriously. These are your babies, and I treat them like my own always.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a private home and yard that's quite spacious and while under my care they are always supervised. Should I need to leave the home for whatever reason, examples being to run errands like groceries and the like they will remain at my home but will not be alone for longer than an hour or two. For me, I just truly love them and want to be a safe space for them to be carefree as that's usually their nature. They will have regular walks and games to exercise both their body and mind and to feel as at ease and at home as possible while away from their family.

We are so grateful to have found Leah! She did such a fantastic job feeding and taking care of our kitties while we were traveling. She was communicative, flexible, and always took the time to make sure all the care instructions were covered. It was a huge relief knowing our fur babies were in such great hands! Thank you, Leah!

First and foremost, my dog seems to LUV Leah, and that’s all that matters. She takes very good care of him. In addition to taking care of it every day needs, she spends quality time with him and he really loves that. When I pick him up from her home, and they’re outdoors, if we head toward the the door he’s In no hurry to leave, he’s ready to go back inside. She’s sends pictures on the regular, and he always seems te be enjoying himself whether he’s chillin Inside ot exploring outdoors. I am a repeat customer, and Leah will always be my first choice when I need a sitter for my bud❣️

Schedule

Work for me is seasonally based so during the summers I generally work from 3pm-8pm and during the winters from 6am-2pm or so. I work with the humpbacks, mantas, and dolphins so scheduling is dependent.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Leah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Just some basic info to think about ahead of time would be what time you’re expecting to drop-off and pick-up your pup. Also if your dog has any special requirements i.e. dietary needs, medications, etc.
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.
