Pet care experience
I’ve owned animals my entire life. I’ve always had cats and dogs of all sizes (including rescues). I have also been pet sitting and offering kitty drop in visits for friends and family since I was 10 years old simply because I truly love the company of animals! I am very patient and very knowledgeable about different dog and cat breeds along with their own unique needs. I enjoy working to tap into a breed’s natural instincts and focussing their playtime activities around them. My own pup has moderate energy and loves to play with other dogs. I lost his best friend, my sweet senior cat, in 2022 to old age so I decided to start offering dog sitting and dog walking services as a way to give my dog some extra company. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a stranger and I can assure you that I’m happy to provide you with frequent updates so you know your baby is well cared for. If you’re looking for a dedicated, caring and motivated pet sitter, look no further. I’ve got you covered! I respect your preferences and requests as you know your fur baby best. I follow instructions well so you can trust that your fur baby will receive the same level of care you provide them at home.
Reviews
Great care!
Leah was so receptive to not only having an older dog but a bit of an anxious owner as well for the first visit. He was right at hoe with her and she kept my nerves at bay with pictures and updates the whole time he was with her. Seriously though Leah made both Cody and I feel very welcome and he was obviously at home. I would use her again. Bonnie
Leah took great care of Inertia, it being her first time spending a long time with another dog. Inertia seemed to have lots of fun with Rocky.
Leah was a wonderful, caring and considerate. We knew that our Nina will be taken care of and loved by Leah and that was very reassuring for us. She also lives in a lovely dog friendly neighborhood by the river and parks. I would highly recommend.

I won’t let your dog off leash or give your dog any food or treats without your approval. You know your fur baby the best! My home is free of any toxic houseplants and fragrances. I also use pet safe non-toxic natural cleaning products. I am very cautious about ensuring good health for my own dog as well as yours.

Information Leah K. would like to know about your pet
I require a quick Meet & Greet for new doggie daycare and new dog boarding stays to ensure your dog feels comfortable with my dog. As he is very playful, we are not an ideal dog sitter situation for senior dogs. I also cannot host dominant male dogs who practice mounting other male dogs as it’s stressful for my dog.* I live in an extremely dog friendly neighbourhood that may not be the best suited to a dog who is leash reactive towards other dogs. Please bring pee pads for puppies who are still working on their potty training and/or dogs who use them. I can guarantee frequent potty breaks outdoors to help with their training. Please advise of any allergies, behavioural concerns (potty training issues, separation anxiety, leash reactive, barking, etc.) or preferences your pet has prior to booking. The more info, the better! :) If you crate your dog, please bring the crate with you for boarding bookings in my home.
A typical day
I will keep your dog stimulated both mentally and physically through play and plenty of walks. My favourite area to walk is around the Fraser River in my neighbourhood as there’s loads of wildlife, scenic views, friendly dogs and humans, little beach areas and lots of great spots to sniff. It is truly doggie paradise around here! I will keep your dog leashed at all times unless you specify that you want your dog to have some off leash time. I take all precautions possible to ensure your dog is safe at all times. My little dog loves playing with and cuddling up to other dogs. We prefer to host friendly dogs who will enjoy his company. We’d be delighted to have your dog join us in our home and in our daily routine.
Services
Leah can host
Availability
I am home the days I offer boarding and dog sitting. Your pup will be supervised the entire time and never left alone for more than 30-60 minutes (if I have to do laundry or take the garbage out or go to the grocery store, for example). I can offer plenty of walks, cuddles and playtime!
