Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover and advocate!
I've taken care of pets since I was young. My family had cats growing up, and many of my friends had dogs and cats that I would help them take care of when needed! I love animals so much and they're such a joy to be around. We adopted our dog, Mako, in 2022, and so I'm very aware of the work, constant attention, and stimulation they need in their youngest days and months. The first initial months with a puppy can be a challenge as you wait to get them up-to-speed on their vaccinations, and I'd be more than willing to watch, puppy sit, or play with them if you need a break! If you have a dog that requires more structure/training, I'm able to provide that service too! We've put in a lot of time and work into our girl to make sure she is set up for success, confident, and guide her through facing her fears or anxieties. If you have a dog that is fearful, anxious, or reactive, let's chat! I'd be happy to talk with you about this to make sure you are also comfortable with your dog's caretaker. As a GSD dog owner, I am also well versed in high-energy and working breed dogs, especially the level of activity they need. If you are looking for someone with this knowledge and experience, let's connect! I'm also experienced with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments and tailor my care to the personality of your pet! In 2024, our cuddly and adventurous Bombay boy, Kraken, showed up on our doorstep and he’s been a wonderful part of our family ever since! It’s been so fun to watch our dog Mako and our cat Kraken bond! There isn't anything that we haven't experienced with our own pets, and I'm able to do anything you need to make sure your pet is as comfortable as they are in their home while you're away (e.g., administer medicine, bathe, walk, play, provide supplements, ear drops, eye drops, etc). I can't wait to love your pet!

Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
I stay in constant communication with you while I care for your pet! Please let me know of their routine, any areas of your home to avoid with your dog, and behaviors they may exhibit that I should be aware of and to help address while I am watching them (e.g., if you were to have a package delivered while I am house sitting your dog, do they bark or get nervous? Is there anything you typically do in these moments?) I am also certified in pet CPR and first aid. I received my certification in August 2026!
Ratings and reviews
Leah is wonderful. She is professional, reliable and great with our dogs.
Leah did an amazing job with our two pups, Raven and Cole. She was extremely communicative and took constant photos and detailed notes of her visits with the pups to let us know they were well cared for. She even left a present for the dogs- a few toys and a thoughtful note! We will definitely use her again as it’s been a fantastic experience!
Leah is outstanding!! She followed Ruby’s routine, provided numerous pictures and communicated regularly. She made Ruby and me very comfortable during the time away!!
Leah was wonderful! Professional and friendly to both me and my cat! (who loved her)
Leah did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They were very happy with her, as were we. She communicated a lot and responded quickly if we asker her anything. She sent lots of pictures. We will definitely use her again.
Repeat sitting by Leah, dogs were happy to have her!

I work full-time with an extremely flexible schedule as I primarily work from home. I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pups! I'm available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits on most weekdays and weekends.

- Please let me know ahead of time if your fur baby requires special attention. Every dog and cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I'd like to make them feel at home! I understand different ages and breeds require different care so please inform me of any special needs or habits your dog or cat has that I can take care of while I'm watching your baby :)
