Safety, trust & environment

I offer house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking. When I first meet your dog (or cat) I will let them sniff me and approach me at their own pace. I kneel down to their level and am super patient with the greeting process. If your pet is excitable I will be too! I can match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I also make sure to keep the environment peaceful and quiet, no loud music or noises. Sometimes I’ll sing to them to soothe them. 😂☺️

Information Leah R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog (or cat) has special needs or if I should be aware of a condition they have so I can best care for them.

A typical day

I love bringing dogs to Elysian Park, or any park nearby where they can walk in the grass, play fetch, and simply be in nature exploring and sniffing around. Love a good game of tug of war, and open to anything you have in mind that they like!

Pet care experience

I grew up with labs, rescue cats, and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. My goal is to make sure your dog (or cat) feels comfortable and at ease, allowing their playful personality to shine. I’m punctual, reliable, and I spend extra time playing with pets and meeting their needs. I’ve cared for dozens of friends’ cats and dogs, staying overnight in their homes, boarding pets at mine, or simply stopping by for walks and playtime. I’d love to help keep your fur baby happy while you’re away. 🩷

Leah was an excellent sitter! She was so sweet and provided amazing updates and care. I would definitely trust her to care for my animals again in the future

I can’t say enough good things about Leah. She went above and beyond to take care of my pup and make sure that I felt comfortable leaving him. She has a wonderful energy and genuinely loves animals- 10 out of 10 recommend!!!!

Leah is the Cat Whisperer Supreme! Our two cats usually get very anxious & depressed when we leave for more than a few days. Other sitters have barely seen them when they've stopped in, but Leah always manages to coax them out to play! Although we still get "lectured" when we return, the improved happiness quotient is obvious. Can't say enough good things!

Leah has taken on both my dogs with very different needs. One, a senior citizen with mobility issues, the other a reactive but energetic pup with lots of wiggles to get out. Leah has treated them both with endless love and compassion. When I’m away she’s always communicated well and let me know how the dogs are doing. She makes sure they get plenty of exercise and cuddles - ensuring they hardly miss me while I’m gone. I’d hire Leah in a heartbeat. It’s so nice to never have to worry while I’m away. Leah has it covered!
