Pet care experience
As a full-time elementary school teacher and lifelong dog lover, I bring a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and playful energy to pet care. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks—just like my students!
Reviews
Leah is a friendly, conscientious, and responsible pet caretaker! She was great walking my 2 German shepherds and excellent at following instructions and updating me on how they were doing. My dogs loved her!
Leah has a gentle and caring nature and would be a great pet sitter and walker. She also brings fun to any situation! She is a wonderful and responsible caregiver to both humans and fur babies and has experience as a big sister to 2 brothers and 7 yr old fur sister Rosie! I highly recommend her for this position.
Leah has taken care of 2 of my rescue pups, one with special needs. She is responsible, patient, and caring. Leah gives so much love to all pets and will take the best of care with your loved one. She is a great communicator and made sure to provide plenty of updates while taking care of my pups. 10/10 Recommend!
I’ve known Leah for over 20 years—she’s not only my best friend, but also one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She has a dog of her own who is incredibly well-loved and cared for, and she’s watched my two dogs multiple times over the years. Each time, she treated them like absolute princesses—spoiling them with love, attention, and care as if they were her own. I always have total peace of mind knowing they’re with her. Leah is patient, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!
About Leah O.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with my boyfriend, and we both love animals! While I don’t currently have a dog here, I have one back home, so I’m very familiar with creating a safe, loving environment. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and I make sure they’re comfortable, secure, and happy at all times.

Information Leah O. would like to know about your pet
Comforts or triggers? Medication or allergies? Personality: friendly, reactive, timid, etc? Do they use special harness-ing for walks due to leash aggression/pulling? Spayed/neutered? Food portions?
A typical day
Love to do mini adventures and hikes, lots of belly rubs and snuggles, love to play fetch, and love to give treats as earned (I love a good trip to a pup cup at Starbucks!)

Availability
Currently enjoying my teacher summer and have a lot of time on my hands! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a roomy, AC filled space. I babysit babies occasionally, but am looking for more to fill my days! I just moved here from Boston and am missing my family dog back at home…would love to get back my daily dose of dog snuggles!
