Information Leah M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there’s anything I should know about your dog or cat. I am a veterinary assistant so I am comfortable administering medications or whatever else you may need.

A typical day

I love going for walks both in the forest or around the neighbourhood. I like to let dogs sniff and explore with their noses while ensuring their noses don’t lead them to a roadside snack. Treat puzzles and lick mats are some of my favourite activities to give dogs for some mental stimulation. Getting cats to play with wands or chase treats are my favourite ways to get them active and stimulated. I can provide any of the following services: Walks, Feeding, Socialization, Supervised outside time, Medication administration, Nail trims, Ear cleaning, Maintenance brushing/grooming, Drives to and from the groomer, Take dogs to sniffspots, Etc!

Vet assistant available 24/7

Pet care experience

I worked in vet clinics from 2021-2024, after graduating from a veterinary assistant program. I worked in various roles and settings such as the ER, ICU, with a board certified veterinary dentist, and in general practice. I have experience reading animal body language and will always adapt to the pet’s needs and wants. Meeting an animal where they are at is very important to me, so we can build a trusting relationship. I can provide any of the following services: Walks, Feeding, Socialization, Supervised outside time, Medication administration, Nail trims, Ear cleaning, Maintenance brushing/grooming, Drives to and from the groomer, Take dogs to sniffspots, Etc!

Leah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, always on time, and communicated with us consistently, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was thoughtful, attentive, and took the time to understand the very different personalities and needs of both of our pups. It was clear they were well cared for and loved while we were gone. We wouldn't hesitate to book Leah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Leah! 🐾
