Dogs Rule, Cats are Cool!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs most of my adult life. My first dogs I raised from puppies -Eddie a golden lab and Gizmo a rat terrier poodle mix. I took both of them to obedience training and Gizmo and I did agility. In recent years I have adopted older dogs and now have Oakley, a 12 year old Australian shepherd/cavalier king Charles. I love walking dogs and feel it is good for them mentally as well as physically. I try to train them a little when needed and I talk to them. I have also volunteered with a rescue organization and fostered many dogs with different personalities and attitudes. I am pretty good at assessing a dogs demeanor and needs.
Reviews
Leanne did a wonderful job of caring for Cruiser. He's not the most sociable cat and he seemed to warm up to her. Her comments each day were right on target. As I was out of the country for a long time, I had her communicate with my son, and he appreciate the contacts. Leanne is a very pleasant person, seemingly very calm. She followed the diet the cat was used to. I would definitely have her as my "sitter" again.
Leanne was great and my cat loved her. I definitely recommend her!
Leanne did a great job. She came on time every day and spent time playing with and brushing Silver, as well as tending to her feeding and keeping her water fresh. I would recommend her as a cat sitter.
Leanne is THE BEST!
About Leanne B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to the dogs I care for in addition to providing for basic needs. I do my best to make them comfortable and work on building trust with them. I can walk them in your neighborhood, around lakes, on trails or even take them to the dog park if you prefer. I have a lot of experience with leash training, so don't worry if your dog pulls, we can work on that! When doing DROP-IN VISITS I take care of feeding, medications, taking your dog out for potty and walking. I sit with your dog and play with them, depending on what they like. When I HOUSE SIT, in addition to caring for your pets, I will take care of household chores i.e. taking in mail, putting out/taking in trash bins and other similar items. I will stay overnight and during the day I may be in and out. Please let me know your specific needs and we can discuss.
Information Leanne B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a little about your dogs personality, likes and dislikes. Is your dog afraid of anything or does he react strongly to any situations?
A typical day
I usually take dogs for walks at least twice a day. I enjoy walking in my neighborhood, but often take dogs to different parks and trails in Eden Prairie. I can take your dog to a dog park if I have your approval and will supervise carefully. I sometimes take a dog for a long walk and then stop at a pet friendly restaurant with outdoor seating for lunch. I like to give them different experiences to help them with socialization.

I am available almost anytime on Monday, Tuesday and Fridays, Wednesday mornings, and Saturday/Sunday afternoons for dog walking. I am available almost anytime for drop-in visits and house/dog sitting.
