I love walks as much as your dog!
Pet care experience
Dogs and I just get along. We speak the same language; I love going on walks and runs as most dogs do. I've always loved dogs. I've volunteered at animal shelters, in South Dakota, Kentucky, and Hawaii. (Actually, all the dogs I've had had have been rescues, including my new puppy, Lucy.) I have experience with both house sitting and dog watching. I'm good at handling most situations that might arise, and almost every dog I've met trusts and like me (even most neurotic dogs :). I have some experience dealing with dog injuries/maladies as well. I'm an artist so I work from home. I'm excited to meet you and your dog, and can't wait to love them as much as you do! Also, I LOVE taking photos of dogs, so of course you'd be getting photo messages of your pooch while you are away. :) I have experience giving dogs special attention, whether that is dog massage, or medicine. I am a firm believer in dogs being in a pack, so if you think that your dog would be best alone, our situation might not work for you.
Reviews
I have had the pleasure of knowing Leah for quite some time now. We both volunteered at a not for profit animal sanctuary In Hawaii. Leah is very responsible, dependable and trustworthy. Her love of all animals is demonstrated in her care for them. Leah is also has much knowledge about animal behavior and health needs. I would, without hesitation, recommend Leah to provide loving and competent care for your beloved furry friends!
Leah has such a heart for animals - she is one of the biggest dog lovers I've ever encountered and dogs respond to her in equally loving ways. She also loves the outdoors and exercising, so any active dog is in good hands with her. I know it can take a leap of faith to leave your dog with someone new but Leah is responsible and a good communicator, too - so humans will be comfortable that their fur baby is being well cared for! I would leave my dog under her care in a heartbeat.

Information Leah N. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about any quirks your dog might have, particularly anything that might provoke your dog. I am strong, but a large, strong dog might overpower me. If you think this might be the case, then I might not be the right dog sitter for you. :( Also, if your dog has a drive to attack cats or small dogs, my home might not be the best fit for your dog.
A typical day
We will go for walks in the wilderness area, or I might take them to the dog park. They will get lots of play time and snuggles!
