Information Leah V. would like to know about your pet

I have an old cat and a toddler - if staying with us, must be tolerant of both. My toddler is respectfully cautious around dogs, but he is still learning body awareness. Let me know any quirks for your pet - skittish? doesn't like pets near the head? nervous toileting in the house? kenneled when alone? - anything to make your pet as comfortable as I can!

A typical day

We will get plenty of fresh air, play their favorite games (fetch! frisbee! running!), lots of pets and love if they accept it. I aim to wear them out and give the stimulation they need to feel satisfied and cared for, especially because I know how hard it is to miss their humans.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets literally my whole life, currently taking care of my 18-year-old diabetic cat I’ve had since he was 6 weeks old, having lost his brother (my baby) a year ago. I’m comfortable with medication administration, including oral, injection, and subcutaneous for cats. I have a flexible work schedule and love to love on animals!

Leah was great! She came and checked on my kitty while I was out camping. Unfortunately I didn’t have service for most of my trip, but I appreciate getting all the updates and photos once I did! Thanks your your help!

Leah has taken great care of my dog, Ziggy, for his regular walks. She always sends an update not only on his eliminations for the walk but also his general attitude and how much water he drank. She's also been super flexible when I've needed to add on my other dog last minute.

Leah is truly an exceptional pet caregiver. She’s not only responsible and reliable, but also incredibly loving and attentive with every animal she looks after. Over the years, she has cared for my dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even my exotic pets with the same level of compassion and dedication. She truly enjoys her time with them and it definitely shows in her loving interactions. Highly recommend!
