Pet care experience
My family has a history of boarding and caring for dogs in Northern Ireland. I came to the United States as a very young child and was raised in Sonoma County. The very finite yard space of my childhood home limited my pet ownership to rabbits, guinea pigs, and a cat (a dog, yes, for a very short time, until we came to terms with it just not being fair to the creature). My desire to have a dog was placated by our biennial trips back to Northern Ireland. My granda kept 10 greyhounds at their home in Belfast, where he had constructed a labyrinth of (very impressive) kennels. His genuine care and attention to every creature's unique personality has added to my understanding of and ability to care for many breeds of dogs. I believe each animal to have its own personality, just as humans do, and respecting this fact is essential in providing proper care. The most important take away message that I hope to communicate is that I truly do care.
Reviews
Leah cares a lot about dogs and tries hard to be responsible. Her stay at my house did not go especially well (directions not followed/details forgotten), but she has the best of intentions, I believe.
Leah did a great job taking care of our home and our little doggie, Jack Baker. The house was spotless when we returned and Jack seemed like a very happy little guy. She was great about sending us photos of him while we were gone and keeping us up to date about his goings on. We'll definitely use her again!
Leah did a great job with our cat she seems to be a rel pet lover. He was very happy and had no complaints when we got home.
Leah is a true animal lover! My dog, Luna, and I lived with her for a year and Leah was great with her. I was often out of the house during the daytime and Leah would care for Luna, let her outside, giver her treats (for doing tricks of course!), and even walk Luna for me. I never asked Leah to do anything, she just looked after Luna because she loved animals. Luna is not the easiest dog to take on walks but Leah did great with her! Leah knows how to deal with dogs; being loving but also assertive when she needs to be. I would trust Leah to watch Luna anytime. In fact, I miss having Leah around to help me out with Luna, since Luna can be such a handful sometimes! Ha. One time, Luna was wildly running around and injured herself pretty badly while I was at work. Leah bandaged Luna and let me know what happened immediately so that I could get her to the animal hospital for quite a few sitched (ouch!). The point being that Leah cared for Luna, and I am sure she will care for anyone's pet! When I lived with Leah, another roommate of ours had a cat as well, and Leah did even better with the cat, Hildi, than she was with Luna. Leah would often feed and comb Hildi simply because she wanted to. All in all, Leah is an animal lover that will do great with anyones pets. I don't know how this website works, but if you are able to contact me with any questions, please feel free to do so.
