Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pet care involves integrating client pets into a safe, pet-friendly environment alongside my three dogs and cat. I ensure a smooth introduction, manage interactions carefully, and provide a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and relaxation. My home offers a welcoming space where pets feel comfortable and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine, reducing stress by keeping them in a familiar environment. I provide personalized attention, follow feeding and medication schedules, ensure ample play and exercise, and offer companionship while keeping the home secure and tidy. My adaptability and experience with multiple pets make me well-equipped to provide top-quality care in either setting.

Information Leah R. would like to know about your pet

Before watching any pet, I’d want to know: • Their routine: Feeding schedule, bathroom breaks, exercise needs, and sleep habits. • Temperament & personality: Are they shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent? • Medical needs: Any medications, allergies, or special care instructions. • Favorite & least favorite things: Toys, treats, activities, or anything they dislike (like loud noises or certain handling). • Training & rules: Commands they know, leash behavior, and household rules (e.g., allowed on furniture or not). • Emergency contacts: Vet info and owner’s preferred way to be reached.

A typical day

That depends on the pet’s personality, but here are some fun activities I might do: • For dogs: Play fetch, go on long walks or hikes, visit a dog park, have a fun agility course in the backyard, or even try some nose work games to keep them mentally stimulated. • For cats: Play with feather wands, laser pointers, or puzzle toys, set up a cozy window perch for bird-watching, or even do a little clicker training if they’re up for it. • For all pets: Give plenty of affection, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get exercise and playtime suited to their needs.

Thanks Leah for taking such good care of Charlie! He seems to have enjoyed your company. I appreciate your offer of an extra visit after he threw up and also that you cleaned it up. Lol! I’ll be I touch again.

Leah is a wonderful animal lover and enjoys been around all kinds of animals. I noticed this started early when she would go read to dogs and how the animals would just look at her it a very calm way. Growing up she took care of many animals from dogs to cats and hamsters. This true love of animals flowed over into helping and a veterinary and then working at a very large boarding club for dogs where she really enjoys spending time with them. She would always come home with great stories about how the dogs were always happy to see her. Caring for animals is in her heart and always will be. She is very qualified to take care of anyones pet and I know the animals would love seeing her.
