Pet care experience

From dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and a rabbit, I have great experience in a wide variety of pets since I was 7. I have a special place in my heart for the herding and retriever breeds and am knowledgeable about the varying grooming, diet, and exercise habits across breeds. My goal is to make your pet feel as if you never left!

Leanne was a fantastic home and dog sitter for our us and our beloved fur baby. She kept our Golden Retriever happy and our home clean. She even surprised us with giving our dog a bath to be fresh and clean before we got home from our trip. We would highly recommend Leanne!

Leanne is a true pet parent. She is very loving and caring towards her animals. Her own dog, which lived to old age, was treated with love and kindness. She trained the dog on her own with hand signals and voice commands. The dog went on lots of adventures with her over the years. At one time, I was with her at a favorite custard shop for the dog's birthday treat. She commanded him to sit and stay while she went to the line to order. I sat beside Gage but really didn't need to do so. Many people came over and asked what kind of dog it was and who trained it. They were surprised when I told them it was a Texas Cattle dog and my daughter had done all the training. One person spoke up and told us that the dog minded better than his own children. He then asked if she trained dogs for others. She politely told him, "No". I have to admit, that Gage was one-of-a-kind' and missed greatly since he died of old age last Fall. Leanne also has a Siamese cat that she has trained as well. The cat will fetch toys and bring them back to you when commanded! People are amazed when they watch a cat fetch something after being thrown down a long hallway. She has moved from one place to another and is no longer allowed to have pets in her new place. When she comes to visit, dog and cats gravitate towards her.

Leanne has been a trustworthy and loving caretaker for our golden. She watched her while I was on my honeymoon and really cared for her like she was her own. I knew our dog was in great hands and she would follow everything needing for my pup. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet.

Highly recommend! Leanne cared for our home and fur babies for over 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We received regular PUP-DATES with video and pictures of our pups having a great time. We had cleaned and prepared our home for her, but came home to an even cleaner home! Our girls were well loved and had all their needs met, and we felt free not to worry about anything happening at home while Leanne was here. We already have her booked to dog- and house-sit for 2 more trips!
