I have a very open and flexible schedule as I work remotely, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home often and able to adjust my routine based on your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just company and comfort. I also go on a walk or hike every day, and I’d love to bring along a fluffy companion who enjoys being active and getting outside. I’m happy to tailor my day to make sure your pet feels included, stimulated, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a small fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, and pets are always supervised when outside. Inside, they’re welcome to lounge, play, and settle in as part of the home. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to give consistent attention, including walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also go on daily walks or hikes and love including pets who enjoy being active. If your pet needs extra stimulation or prefers outings, I have a car and can take them to the beach, parks, or other safe outdoor spots. My goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible while making them feel right at home.

Information Leah M. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful for me to know ahead of time about your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs or quirks they may have. This includes things like feeding schedules, medication, reactivity to other dogs or people, and their comfort level with being alone. I also like to know what they enjoy most—whether that’s long walks, beach trips, playtime, or just cuddling at home—so I can tailor their day to keep them happy and relaxed. Any information about triggers, anxiety, or training cues is also really helpful so I can make sure they feel safe and understood in every situation.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of fresh air, movement, and relaxed downtime. I go on a walk or hike every day, and I love taking advantage of all the beautiful dog-friendly trails nearby. If your dog enjoys the beach, I’m always happy to head down there—whether that’s walking along the shore, relaxing in the sun, or playing in the water. I love engaging with dogs in whatever way suits their personality, from playing fetch or frisbee along the beach to a good game of tug-of-war in the park. I make sure each day is a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest so your pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

Experienced & Attentive Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals for over 8 years now and truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from relaxed cuddle buddies to high-energy pups who need lots of exercise. I especially enjoy getting dogs out on walks, beach trips, and hikes to keep them happy and stimulated. If your dog enjoys socializing, I also have a nearby family home where they can safely spend time with other friendly dogs. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Leah was fantastic! She took our two dogs on hikes! Dressed them up for her families Thanksgiving party ha ha. Our dogs were so happy and loved. Hands down was our best experience with a dog sitter. She went above and beyond to help and make our dogs feel loved. Appreciate you so much!
