UWS Doggy Retreat!
Pet care experience
I've been a dog lover my entire life - since the age of 5, I grew up with an amazing golden retriever named Lisa who was my best friend (we were both redheads). She passed when I was 18 right before leaving for college, but I still hold her dear in my heart (and dream about her too). I began dog sitting for friends and family in high school, and have never looked at it as a "job", but more so as a great opportunity to show a pup some love when their owners had to travel - and an opportunity to receive some love as well! During your dogs stay, they will receive tons of attention and play time all throughout the day and evening. I live a block away from Riverside Park, and am happy to walk them as many times as needed, for as long as needed - long walks are great exercise for the pup and for me! Please message me if you have any additional questions, I would also be more than happy to set up a meet and greet before you decide if this is the right place for your dog, and more than happy to accommodate any pick up/drop off needs :) Thanks for considering me to be your dog sitter! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life! I grew up with a golden retriever from the ages of 5 - 18, and I still miss and love her. After her passing, my family got a lhasa apso named Elvis, who I loved and adored. I've been dog sitting for friends on and off for several years, have walked dogs here and there, and love the experience of babysitting dogs through Rover - they become my surrogate dogs! About my yard No backyard, but a dog run at the park just a block away!
Reviews
Leah was great!! My little one just had surgery and it was great to know he was in good hands when I had to work. I really appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day. Great experience, thanks Leah!!
Leah was professional and communicative. Rex seemed to have a good time.
Wow! What a great first experience with rover. Leah exceeded my expectations, and made the process super easy. My pup loved her, i could tell from all the picture updates i recieved while on my trip. Will definitley be using Leah's services again- and would highly recommend her!
Leah M. is the best.... Highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure there aren’t any wires or plants within their reach; always keep my house tidy and dust free; and engage pups physically and mentally to get their energy out.
Home
Information Leah M. would like to know about your pet
Any issues the dog may have, whether they be with attachment or even bedtime preferences. Also, does the dog require constant interaction, and in what manner do they prefer to take their walks.
A typical day
Will we be taking walks? ABSOLUTELY!!! I love going on walks with dogs, and I would like to be informed as to how long the dog will be able to stay on walks for. I live next to a park with a dog run, if the owner prefers that, but really just wandering around the neighborhood for as long as needed is okay with me!
