Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life—I live with three cats, so feeding, cleaning, cuddling, and making sure everyone’s happy is part of the routine. I work just five minutes away from home, which makes it super easy for me to pop in for check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening care, I can usually make it work without stress. Pet care just fits naturally into my schedule—I love it and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether your pet is staying at my home or I’m coming to yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—like part of the family. At my house, I have space (fenced yard, catio, and nearby park) for your dog or cat to relax, play, and feel at home, plus I follow their usual routines (meals, potty breaks, meds, etc.) to help them settle in with less stress. My pets are friendly and used to having furry guests around! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep things just how they’re used to—whether that’s specific feeding times, favorite toys, walks, or just being there for company. I always give updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

Information Leah K. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely! I always like to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. Things like: – Do they have any medical needs or allergies? – What’s their feeding schedule like? – How do they do with other animals or new people? – Are they shy, playful, anxious, or super chill? – Any habits or quirks I should know about (like being scared of thunderstorms or pulling on walks)? The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

A typical day

It depends on what your pet loves to do! For dogs, I’m all about walks, playtime, belly rubs, fetch (if they’re into it), and maybe even a trip to the dog park—if that’s part of their routine and you’re cool with it. For cats, I’ve got toys, cozy spots for naps, and plenty of attention if they want it (or space if they don’t—cat rules, I get it 😹). I love getting to know each pet’s personality and finding what makes their tail wag or purr start. My goal is to keep them active, happy, and feeling loved the whole time we’re together.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up with three dogs and now live with three cats—one’s mine, and the other two are my siblings’ (but they basically think I’m in charge 😎). I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors over the years, including walking dogs, feeding, playtime, and even overnight stays. I also completed an internship at Prince George’s Animal Shelter, where I got hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. From playful pups to shy senior pets, I know how to adjust and make each one feel loved and safe. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, feedings, or giving meds, I’ve got it covered!

Leah was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home, everything was in perfect shape. Our house was spotless and our dogs was happy and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Leah to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!
