Highlights
Pet care experience
Country gal w/ 20 yrs experience!
Some unique dog care facts about me: -I have owned and loved 5 dogs their full lifespans throughout my 30 years of life -I can work well with other animals being in your home, because I grew up on a ranch with chickens, cats, goats, ducks, etc. -I can handle disputes between dogs, and can love on rescued/ nervous doggos -I will not love on a puppy any more than I love on an old dog -My commitment to your pet's safety is 100% -I have all the applicable skills when it comes to being aware of the dog's personal needs and how they might vary from other dogs -I don't just do the basics-- I ensure that the dogs receive love and not JUST that they have the essentials!

Ratings and reviews
Leah's incredible! I would change my schedule if Leah weren't able to walk my dog. Your pets are in good hands!
Leah K was one of the most professional and responsive pet sitters I’ve had. I highly recommend her services and will ask her to work for me again!
Leah was very communicative throughout her house stay and she took great care of my puppy while I was away!
Great communication, appreciated all of the pics and updates on the kitties!
Leah did an absolutely amazing job with our two dogs! She kept us updated multiple times a day with photos and details about how they were doing along with when they ate and when medication was given. She followed all directions that we had left for her. Our dogs absolutely loved her! Leah came to our house in preparation for our 11 day trip so that she would be familiar to our dogs and would be able to know what we expected and what would make it easiest for our difficult dog. She left them for no longer than 2-4 hours a time during the day on the days that she did leave. When we arrived home, our house was perfectly clean and well taken care of care of. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her in the future!
Leah was amazing, best dog sitter we had so far - super responsive and loving to our pups

Schedule
I am actively booking services via Rover in addition to other scheduled clients. Currently, I am available for dog walking, drop in visits for both dogs and cats, and overnight stays in your home in Northern CO/ the Front Range. I provide the utmost care to your pups or kitties. Please refer to my calendar to book services and see when I am available 😊 PLEASE NOTE: **** I have a policy that new clients must request my services within 5 days’ advanced notice prior to drop- in visits, walks, or overnight sitting. If this cannot be done, it is very likely that I may instead request a one- time add- on adjustment/ fee to the booking, especially if the request is made: - In less than 24 hours’ notice and/ OR - On a Holiday PLEASE respect this policy of mine & know that I am a small business owner who cares for animals full- time. I do my best to fulfill each request that comes my way, unless I otherwise am already booked at the same time. I do not turn anyone away and ask that my time, care & love for your fur babies is respected! Thanks :) ****
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure that your pets are in either a fenced in yard, or on leash while walked out in the neighborhood. I have experience with neurotic, fearful pups who need some extra lovin’, and may take their sweet time to get to know me and/ or need to be muzzled to go on a walk. I have cared for 8 week old puppies, and 19.5 year old kitties and elderly dogs. My love and respect for animals is always at the forefront of the time I spend in your home with your furry family members!
Pets
A typical day
I will typically wake up between 6:30- 8am, take them outside to pee/ poo, clean up after them if needed, feed the dog(s) breakfast, then let them dictate how they’re feeling in regards to whether or not they want to lounge or play. I like throwing tennis balls for pups who enjoy retrieving, I can groom them by brushing or giving baths, and I also have experience trimming claws without fear of clipping too far or harming them in any way. I also enjoy taking them on walks, then will give dinner, let them run around and chase squirrels or other animals, and provide something for them to chew because chewing is an innate satisfaction for most doggos. I have experience administering medications that are oral and topical. I also have experience transferring elderly pups in a gentle manner to ensure their comfort. I like to wind down in the evening with pups and let them snuggle up on the couch. They’re welcome to sleep in bed with me too if I am house sitting for your home!
