Pet care experience

Loving and responsible sitter!

I've been around dogs most of my life and love making new furry best friends! In my care, your dog will be well cared for and loved. I enjoy hiking after work and on the weekends, as will your pup! I have cared for high energy dogs, working dogs, and senior dogs. My home has a 7 year old English Shepherd that can play endless fetch, loves running and romping on the local trails. While you are away, I'll provide daily (sometimes hourly!) photos of your doggy having the time of their life. I can always give you an update via text or phone call during the stay as well. I work at home and have flexible hours and can be available for mid-day check-ins and walks. I'm home in the evenings as well. I love dogs and I've been watching friends' and family dogs for many years, and can't wait to watch yours!

Leah is a wonderful dog sitter. She is very responsive and took very good care of my elderly dog. She took him on daily hikes/walks and sent regular reports and photos. She very caring and professional!

Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.

Leah was very responsive and gave daily updates while our pup was in her care. She and her partner seem experienced in pet care and asked all the good questions at our meet and greet. I would love to use her services again :)

Leah treated my dog Boo like a king. I couldn't have been happier about his stay with her, and neither could Boo. Leah's a great communicator-I received daily feedback of what they were doing, where they went, and reports on his behavior, how he got along with her dogs, and pictures(!). She has 2 dogs that were super playful and sweet with Boo. Leah was very careful to introduce our dogs first, which clued me in to how responsible and caring she is. While Boo was there, not only did he get to play in her yard and cuddle on the couch with her (um, he's 65 lbs and growing), she also took him on outings-including the dog island! I would definitely use Leah again and felt super comfortable about her taking care of my buddy. Highly recommended. Thank you Leah-from both of us! You're awesome!

House Sitting • Oct 05, 2018

Leah has house sat for my pup Pete several times. She’s great with Pete, incredibly responsible and considerate of my house, and so wonderful to work with! I was coming in late in the evening this trip, and leah washed the sheets and made up my bed. It was such a nice surprise to come home to after a long day of travel.

House Sitting • Jul 30, 2018

Leah is an excellent dog sitter! This is the second time she’s taken care of Pete. She sends daily pics (and sometimes more!), hikes with Pete, and takes great care of the house.

I would like to know what restrictions there are for your dog, what triggers might exist, and any other relevant information about their behavior and needs. I'd also like to know their normal routine so I can mimic it as much as possible!
