Dogs are a girls best friend!
Pet care experience
I started my personal experience training an animal when I was 16 or 17 raising our family beagle puppy. I have always had a genuine love and curiosity for dogs. They each have such unique, individual personalities and they are more than just animals. They become your best friends! It amazes me to see their compassion and loyalty to their humans. In the past year, I have boarded several different dogs with my husband at our house, and I have also stayed at pet parents houses to watch their dogs as well. It is my desire to treat others dogs with the same love, kindness, and respect that their owners give them each day! I value the variety of structures that people set up for their pets and I will obey those structures. Overall, I will do my best to make your dog feel comfortable and happy during their time apart from their family 😊. I have a full-time position located in Grand Haven, but I only go into the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. My day off is Monday so I definitely have flexibility on that day, and I am at home most of the day Wednesdays, Fridays, and also Saturdays in the morning/afternoon and Sundays in the evening. Depending on the location of the dog, I can make a stop for a drop in or walk on my way to or from work in Grand Haven because it is about a 45 minute drive. If the pet is within 25-30 minutes from my home, I can easily make that drive on the days I work from home. For the days that I have to leave for chunks of time, my husband can also help out if the dog is staying at home with us! I do not have much of a yard at my home, but we live right next to a very spacious park and love to take our furry friends on long walks! We prefer to crate them when we are not at home but we are usually only gone a couple hours at a time if that. We are open to them sleeping in our bed with us depending on the size of the dog 😊. When I stay in a clients home to watch their dog, I am pretty open and flexible to their needs. I have watched dogs who have very specific diets, walking schedules, and sleep schedules.
Reviews
Leah stopped over to feed our dogs and let them out for a break. I left detailed instructions because one is a puppy and the other has medical issues. Leah followed my instructions perfectly. Highly recommend. We would hire her again.
Leah and Paul are the only ones we will leave our Bear with. I have never left him, I have always taken him with me. Leaving him for the first time a big deal for me, but Leah and Paul made him feel so much at home. They spent so much intentional time with him and showed him so much love. (I was scared he wouldn't t want to come home 😅)He loves to go and visit them, he rushed up the stairs last time he went to visit! They clearly provided a loving safe place for him he was excited to experience again! Leah has a love for dogs that only exists in special individuals. 💗
Our dog Filo loves Leah and Paul. He is happy to go to their home to be watched as they take wonderful care of him. When we go away and they watch Filo, we have no worries about the care given. I would highly recommend Leah and Paul to take care of your dog.
Leah and Paul are true dog lovers. They have schedules that are staggered so when they watch Filo he does not have long stretches alone. They walk him very faithfully, in fact, more often than we do, I think. Filo always seems healthy and happy when we pick him up. We would highly recommend them to care for your dog.

Information Leah & Paul K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has specific dietary needs, their bathroom habits, and any other preferences so I can be the best host or sitter as possible to them. It is also important for me to know a bit about their personality so I know what kinds of activities they would enjoy!
A typical day
It depends on the personality of the dog and what the client needs from me. If it is a more adventurous dog, my husband and I would love to take it places such as the park, a hiking trail, or a down town area for walks! We love a good travel companion. If it is more of a laidback dog, I love to cuddle up on the couch and watch movies with them, or play toys inside! Again, it really depends on the needs and personality of the dog.
