Experienced sitter, home all day!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm an experienced and passionate dog sitter, with a sweet little Border Collie of my own. She's probably more excited about dog sitting than I am! Even if your dog isn't the most socialized, she has worked wonders for dogs in the past, enabling them to become better acquainted with dog play. I am right off of both RI Ave and NY Ave for easy drop-off. I have an open concept rowhome with a grassy, fully fenced backyard. I sit in the dining room and study for most of the day, which enables me to keep a good eye on your pup and also plenty of play time. I grew up with dogs and have taken my dog through both basic and advanced obedience classes. I believe in positive reinforcement and always have treats available in my pockets! I am mainly studying now, so I can provide a customized experience for your dog, centered around your existing routine.

Leah is a kind and experienced dog owner and caregiver. Leah cared for my five-year-old Belgian Sheppard, Gandalf, on several occasions and did a fantastic job. Gandalf was rescued from a bad breeding situation and had a several ticks and quirks that made caring for him somewhat difficult. However, she easily gained his trust and provided high quality care. Leah is also the proud dog parent of a four-year-old border collie mix, named Penny, who is very well trained and behaved. Leah and Penny have successfully completed basic and advanced training, and recently, Penny was awarded a Good Citizen certificate, which required considerable training and effort on Leah's part. In short, I highly recommend Leah as a dog caregiver.
