Pet care experience
Hello! I've loved caring for animals since early childhood living on a farm. I'm home full-time, experienced and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and my home is fully puppy-proofed. I've also worked with dogs that have some special needs, like separation anxiety, phobias, and physical health issues. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to introduce myself and our dogs in advance. My own dog Gaucho is friendly and playful, and well-socialized with other dogs. He’s a 70lb neutered male, fully vaccinated. I can watch only dogs that are friendly toward other dogs. If you need drop-in visits, I'm happy to also care for any houseplants or aquariums or clean a litter box. I can arrange my schedule to fit what your pet is used to and spend plenty of time with them. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!
Reviews
Leah was amazing! Our pup had the most wonderful time, and I never felt as if he wasn’t being absolutely loved the whole time he stayed with Leah and Gaucho. Getting regular updates and cute pics of your pup having a great time made all of my worries about him go away! Leah was very responsive and easy to communicate with.
Leah is the absolute best! We have an extremely anxious dog who is scared of new people (among many other things). Leah had clearly dealt with nervous dogs and knew how to make him comfortable. She was very patient as we slowly built up the amount of time we left him for, and now we just left him for over a week! She sends detailed updates at least once a day with great pictures. She also has had to administer medication for him (pills, ear drops, etc.) and has done a great job with that. We highly recommend Leah!
Leah was great with my two cats! She sent detailed notes and great pictures :) would definitely book again!
Leah was SO good with my cat! Left very detailed descriptions of each visit and sent me lots of good pictures! Would definitely recommend :)

Safety, trust & environment
In addition to being puppy-proof, my home is smoke/vape free and I use only hypoallergenic and pet-safe cleaners. Please note, I live in a 3rd floor walk-up, so keep that in mind if your dog has joint pain or trouble with stairs. I'm fit enough to carry a little dog, but anything over 40 lbs would be tough!

Information Leah Y. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me what sort of routine your pet is used to, if they are housetrained, and if your pet has any health or behavioral concerns.
A typical day
Depending on your dog's energy level and preferences, we could go hang out on the grass at a local park like Maria Hernandez, take a quick jog around the neighborhood or take a 5+ mile hike up to Highland park. I love wandering all over Bushwick and Ridgewood. We can also play games like tug, fetch, and hide-and-seek. My dog Gaucho is very playful and would love to wrestle or nap with your dog! He can take a hint if your dog prefers some personal space.
