Active and experienced dog sitters!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an experienced dog sitter looking to host your pets for day care or multi-day boarding. As an avid runner, I am more than willing to run/play with your dog or bring them to local trails and parks to keep them active during the day. I grew up with two dogs of my own and have experience working in the dog kennel in my home town. (Currently, I don’t have any pets so yours will be the main focus!) When I worked in the kennel, I cared for all breeds and sizes as well as puppies and older dogs that require extra attention. I am also an artist in my free time, so we can chat about portraits of your pet if interested :) my roommate and friend, Leta, and I tag team caring for our dog guests, so she will be sure to join our meet and greets so that you can get to know us both. We look forward to helping care for your dogs! My roommate and I both telework full time, so your dog will be spending the day hanging out with us in our apartment and will not be left unattended for long stretches of time (if at all). We go for regular walks around the neighborhood (but avoid off leash dog parks). We provide day care and boarding from our apartment. We only care for one dog at a time to ensure your dog gets the attention it needs. We try our best to follow your dog’s normal routine/schedule according to the instructions you provide. We will also be sure to send you regular updates and photos of your pup while they’re staying with us!

A great rover experience! Leah and her roommate were both very flexible with my last minute schedule changes and kept up constant communication during the day. I got a lot of pics of my dog Henry and he looked like he had a great time! Would definitely rebook again.

Leah took great care of my young pup Finn! She was super understanding of him adjusting to a new environment and kept him entertained with walks and play throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!

Leah and Leta are amazing! My puppy started going to their house for daycare once a week and she loves them. I always feel like my pup is well taken care of and comes back happy and always wants to go back. I also recently went on vacation and I left my puppy with them for 5 nights. It was the first time my pup has been away from me since she was 9 weeks. I completely trust Leah and Leta and it was so relieving knowing my puppy was in their care. They are the best!
