Availability

I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out.

Pets

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible.

Leah’s love of animals was evident from the beginning. It’s a special feeling to know your pets won’t just be watched but treated like family. She was quick and professional in our communication and sent updates periodically during my lets stay. Will definitely use her again! Thanks Leah

I've known Leah for over a decade, and throughout that time she has always been a caring, responsible, and dedicated dog owner. She is wonderful with dogs of all sizes and truly treats them with patience, attention, and love. She has personally helped care for my own dog whenever I've needed support, and I've always felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She is reliable, trustworthy, and creates a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter.
