Professional & personal experience!
Pet care experience
Animals have always been my thing! I volunteered at our local animal shelter from ages 13-17. For two years in college I worked at a doggie boarding/daycare resort. I graduated from Iowa State with a degree in Animal Ecology, and am currently preparing for grad school. I know how to communicate with dogs in their language, I am aware of breed specifics, and I have experience giving medication, including insulin. I am also experienced with pets who need the time and space to warm up to someone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! NOTE: please read my schedule section. If you’ve read it and would still like to book me, message me with the words “Red Star” as the opening line.
Reviews
My dog had a great first walk with Leah. She’s pretty particular about who walks her, so I’m glad we found her! Will definitely be booking with her again.
Leah was great with my Coco Bean and I would definitely book her again to watch my fur baby. Truly appreciated!!
Being new to Rover, we were a bit nervous about having someone stay in our home. As soon as we met Leah, we were comfortable and our dogs were are ease. She communicated well leading up to the stay and during. She let us know when she arrived to our home and shared pictures through out the stay. We would hire her again.
Everything went well and doggies were happy.
About Leah S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep dogs in their routine. If they don’t get walked in the neighborhood much, or aren’t great with other dogs, we’ll likely just stay at home.
Information Leah S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how well they get along with other dogs, if they have any fears (thunder, men, etc.), and anything the owner feels is noteworthy.
A typical day
I can be as active, lazy, stern or loving as your dog needs! I am not a dog trainer, but I am familiar with positive reinforcement and am comfortable working on commands as long as expectations are agreed upon beforehand.
Services
Leah can watch in your home
Availability
As of 7/16 I will be moved to Olympia and have a full-time job. I can only book pets who can be left alone for up to 9 hours at a time. If you would like to book me for 24/7 care, my rate is $80 a night.
