Rover is my full time job, so I’m extremely flexible and happy to work with you when it comes to visit times! My partner, Zoe, is a student and she is my emergency back-up. If the worst happens and I suddenly can’t make it, she’ll be able to fill in for me. For our more high energy clients, she often comes along to help tire them out!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a firm believer in following a pet’s routine to the best of my abilities so that they feel safe. Whatever you tell me your pet needs, I’ll do everything I can to accommodate! I’m also adept at reading animal body language and adapting my approach based on how they’re responding.

Information Leah R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s likes and dislikes! I would love information on your pet’s temperament, usual routine, favorite snacks, and anything else you’d like to share.

A typical day

While I adore my big dog clients, my boarding service is a small dog haven! I only take one pup family at a time, so your dogs will get undivided attention from myself, my partner, and our own dogs (if everyone wants to play). We have tons of beds, toys, and treats here, as well as a park right next door for extra long walks/sniff-sessions!

Pet care experience

Fur? Sure! Hi, I’m Leah! Caring for animals is my joy and passion, so much so that I’ve made it my full time job! I grew up with dogs and currently have two of my own little fluff balls, Luna and Eva. I specialize in working with puppies, anxious dogs, and leash-reactive dogs who need a little extra TLC. I believe in positive reinforcement and I love helping pups and their people in any way I can!

Leah is an amazing sitter - she did drop ins for our cats while we were on a long vacation. This was the longest we’ve left them, and Leah made us confident that our boys were getting the best care the entire time we were away. We really appreciated the detailed summaries and photos from each and every visit, it was so reassuring and our kids asked to see the pics all the time! We will definitely hire Leah again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
