I’m an active, dependable person who truly loves animals. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always had cats or dogs growing up and can’t imagine life without them. I enjoy walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets the attention, play, and care they deserve. I believe animals deserve happy, loving, and enriching lives.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pets with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I care for my own cat, Mia, by keeping her feeding schedule consistent, cleaning her litter box daily, and making sure she gets plenty of playtime, affection, and enrichment. I pay close attention to pets’ comfort, routines, and personalities so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

Information Leah R. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, any medications they take, any separation anxiety, favorite toys, what treats they like/ can have, etc. Golden retrievers are my favorites but I love any kind of breed

A typical day

“I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged. For dogs, I enjoy walks, trips to parks or trails, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and giving them lots of attention and exercise. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, cuddles, enrichment activities, and creating a calm environment where they feel comfortable and loved.

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I've had about 16 years of experience with dogs. I'm familiar with dogs with body mental and physical issues. I enjoy animals and spending quality time with them..I currently have a cat named Mia. In the past I had a golden retriever named Buddy. I'm a firm believer in all the benefits dogs/cats can do for individuals and families. I'm the happiest when i'm with dogs or animals. I will go far and beyond to care for your animal and make sure they have the proper care they deserve. I understand the anxiety about leaving your pet with a stranger. Therefore I'd love to meet and create a relationship with the owner to form trust.

Leah has always been incredibly responsible and gentle with animals. She is patient, attentive, and truly cares about the wellbeing of every pet she interacts with. I’ve seen firsthand how loving and dependable she is — animals are naturally drawn to her calm energy. She takes routines seriously, communicates clearly, and makes sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with any dog or pet. Anyone who books with her is getting someone reliable, kind, and very detail-oriented.
