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.

Information Leah H. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

If you couldn't already tell I’m a pretty outdoor-centered kind of person. Fun activities included with me but not limited to: exploring some sniff hotspots for all the latest smells, maybe some casual hiking, also maybe some lounging around on the couch, lastly maybe some super fun napping (will be indoors).

Wildlife Naturalist Cares for Yours

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Leah was excellent with our pup Bandit. Sent us pictures and videos of how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. Definitely will book with her again.
