Wildlife Student 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. In my home we have a large yard and a nearby park for walks and a bit of freedom. New environments are just as important for our pets to explore as it is for us, otherwise we and they can become mentally exhausted or depressed. We want the best for our animals and to be happy as we are and sometimes this requires more effort and time than we are presently able to provide them.. this is where I come in. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at any point.

Leah did an excellent job taking care of our pups. She sent us photos and videos of our goofy pups. I highly recommend Leah to watch your pups. She is super professional and personable! I will continue using her services for my boys! Thank you Leah for taking such great care of Kylo and Murphy! You’re awesome!
Leah did a great job taking care of my pups for the day! Thank you Leah!
She is wonderful!! She always kept us on the lookout for Horus and he seemed happy and having a good time with Leah and that kept us calm, without a doubt we would think of her again to take care of our sweet boy!! Thank you Leah ☺️
Lotus loved her walk with Leah. She did great with her. Lotus gets very excited meeting new people.

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.
Home
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).

I work in Greece during the Fall months so when I am home in the States this is my full time job, therefore the entire day is free to care for your pet. However, I do not work past 10pm excluding overnight stays. Should you need to contact me feel free to do so however pick-ups and drop-offs should be between the hours of 6am-10pm.
