Lifetime lover of walks N' wags!

I work from home, so dogs that stay with me get extra special attention and a companion all day! An animal lover of all kinds from an early age, I adored pup & bird-sitting for our friends and family (asking allll the questions to make sure the fur babies would be comfortable!). Growing up with a hamster, a lizard and a tree frog- I'm not afraid of some crickets! At 11, our family took in a Dalmation, when her family was no longer able to due to illness. Taking care of other people's beloved animals is not new to me, and I don't take it lightly. As an adult, I rescued a tiny yellow lab (My Jenna) at just weeks old when someone left her in a field by our home, defenseless and flea ridden. She wriggled her way into my heart within seconds, and she became family. With their joint issues, I am no stranger to finding tricks to get uninterested dogs to take their vitamins & medications, lol. I've not been able to think about another fur-baby just yet since her passing, but the highlight of visiting family and friends is getting on the floor and loving all on their animals!! What better way to get your pup fix, than to help care for your babies when you aren't able to? Bottom line- I will take care of your babies as I would my girl, and be thrilled with their kisses, and honored to take my fur-covered pants home as a reminder!

Our senior guy was extremely comfortable at Leah’s place. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring home. She also kept us in the loop and made our holiday possible. Highly recommended!

Doggy Day Care • nov. 10, 2025

Lean and Sean are wonderful! We have an 11 month old English Bulldog puppy and she has never spent a night away from us since we got her, so we were very nervous about how she would do when we needed to have her with someone else for almost 4 days. Leah and Sean took excellent care of our girl, who enjoyed tons of loving attention, snuggles, and a wonderful family atmosphere. They are near a park, so walks and outside time were close by as well. When we picked her up, she was happy and almost didn’t want to go! We would definitely recommend Leah to friends and we plan on future visits soon!

Leah was very flexible with booking and sent me lots of photos and updates on him, which I really appreciated! She did a wonderful job with full time care for my pup, followed all of my care instructions, and even carried him up and down the stairs since he sometimes gets scared on them. She also lives right next to a super nice park! I would definitely book her again!

I have a super flexible schedule, so I am able to walk your dog(s), or come over, play and let them out as needed. I'll try and coordinate to your schedule and needs to the very best of my ability.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm comfortable around both large and small dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, and birds. Anything else? Just ask! I can let them out on a leash if desired, or chase them around your fenced in yard. I can feed, give oral medication, play, pet and love on them.

A typical day

I work from home all week, so dogs that stay with me get to have a companion all day. We do have a park across our street with trees and loooots of things to sniff, lol. I also like to see how the dog likes to play- some love a good chase around the house. Some love to fetch. I like to make sure they feel safe and comfortable during their stay by tailoring my time to their needs.

Leah can host up to 2 pets per night
Because we have an apartment, (unless they are a pretty calm larger breed dog), we prefer hosting small to medium sized dogs overnight. I love big dogs, its just usually easiest in their homes. Also, distance is important when determining a good fit.
