Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs, from little rat terriers to large lab-mixes, and I'd love to take your pooch for a walk or run! I typically work from home and can be available on short notice for stopping by to walk, play with, or feed your pet. Additionally, I can be available to pet-sit, either full-time from your home or just for overnights as needed. I'm currently in the middle of remodeling so I am not offering in-home boarding or pet-sitting at this time, but I look forward to expanding those services once the dust (literally) settles. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training, so if there is a special command your dog is working on learning right now, let me know! I'm happy to work on some reinforcement exercises with them, too :)
Reviews
Leah was amazing! My Zelda is a neurotic one for sure and Leah bonded with her so well! I highly recommend her!
I'm gonna start with the short answer and say you might be neurotic if you don't hire this woman. We had a really crazy setup for our dog sitting fiasco, and I want to describe the serious of this matter just to showcase the maturity and capability Leah provided. Leah was booked to watch our two dogs for six days. However, between the time of the booking and the first day, our senior dog passed away. Suddenly, Leah needed to provide high level care to a young, grieving dog who just lost his friend, and both of his owners were going away for work. Leah was able to adapt instantly, giving us the confidence we needed to leave our home under such traumatic circumstances. She provided daily updates and displayed remarkable care and compassion to keep our little guy (Jace) from succumbing to depression (which is a risk in the event of fellow pet death). When Jace started to get a little sick in our absence, Leah notified us and took care of the situation on her own to prevent any further illness. Leah took care of our home and dog with an impressive amount of competence. I absolutely recommend utilizing Leah for your needs, just as long as you don't book her the same weeks I need her :)
Leah was great with our little girl. She Took great care of her for the long weekend and gave us informative updates.
Leah was a gem while watching my dog. She kept me updated with pictures and let me know my pet split her nail and even picked up some anti-septic to use until I was able to book a vet visit. She was very understanding and patient of my dog's needs which was nice to see. Definitely recommend her if you're looking for a reliable sitter while you're away for your pet!!
