Pet Care—At Your Home At Your Home (House Visits / Overnight House-Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on consistency, comfort, and respect for your home: I securely enter based on your instructions (key, lockbox, etc.) and confirm arrival details ahead of time. I stick to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and play! Little gestures make a big difference: I’ll wash pet dishes, take out trash, and leave a brief note reflecting highlights from our time together. Communication is a priority—I’ll send timely updates and keep your emergency contacts on hand. Also, will always send pictures of your pets to you.

Information Leah R. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know the best way to approach the dogs and cats so nothing is scary or shocking to them. If they pull around other dogs while walking, just so I'm prepared. And whether they love kisses or not.

A typical day

I walk and paddle board with my dogs and cat, we go swimming ( not the cat), and walk in the park often. My dogs know cool tricks, and one can even play dead.

Pet care experience

From tiny kittens to big strong pups, I’ve got the muscles, skills, and love to care for them all! I’m great with meds, puppy training, and multi-pet households. Whether your pet’s shy, bouncy, or special needs, I make sure tails wag, purrs rumble, and everyone feels at home.

Leah watched our 3 doxies for a day - she was fantastic! Incredibly communicative, on time, and diligent about our routine/schedule. She has a great disposition - our dogs took to her right away! We’re so grateful she had availability on such short notice.

Leah was the perfect sitter for my sweet shih tzu. I will definitely be using her again. She sent me pictures showing how happy Baby Doll was. I was happy to rate her 5 stars. Jo Ann

Leah was great with my pup! I asked for help very last minute and she was willing to come over and meet Calypso and come over the next day to watch her 💛
