Pet care experience

Pawsitive times for pups & peeps!

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!

Pets

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.

Leah did an amazing job with our very anxious and high energy husky collie mix. She was responsive, reliable, kind, and I can tell from our girl’s attitude and volume of husky fluff around the house that she got plenty of good scritches and attention while we were gone. Will definitely book again!

Leah is great! She took excellent care of Whitney. Lots of ball throws and making sure she didn’t get too hot in the summer heat/humidity. Leah made sure whit got food and water. She had excellent communication. I appreciated the detailed report cards. Highly recommend!

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!

Schedule

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!
