I'll love'em like they're my own!

Pet care experience

I was a veterinarian technician for about 12 years that simply loves all dogs and cats. I've cared for them my entire life and with my education I'm able to provide excellent care while you're away! Pets with special needs steal my heart, but I love them all! I am patient and love working with dogs that are shy and fearful. Administering medication is no problem. I have 2 fur kids of my own and I know how stressful it can be finding someone caring, reliable, trustworthy, and dependable. I ask that you set clear expectations of what you expect and want for you fur kids. I do require a meet and greet before accepting any pet sitting request. I'm happy to accommodate most requests. I'm also experienced with cats and kittens! I'll love your fur kiddos like they are my own babies!!

She is amazing, she was available to help us out last minute while we were already on vacation. Highly recommended will definitely be using her again.

Leavitta was absolutely amazing with all our dogs. I don’t feel they get enough attention being boarded, yet I’m very weary of people watching them. Thankfully, we met Leavitta. She sent numerous pictures (at my request) and they all looked so happy. We have a very old dog who doesn’t always eat and Leavitta went above and beyond by spoon feeding her every meal that she didn’t eat on her own. I couldn’t be more thankful with the level of care the Chaos of Nihon Ken received. We recently acquired a new dog who is skiddish around strangers, even she did wonderful with Leavitta. I can’t express how happy I am that we chose her. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely hire again if we need a dog sitter.

Working with Leavitta at Banfield has been an amazing experience. The quality care she takes for every animal that comes through the hospital is outstanding. Not only is Leavitta and amazing vet tech, but she has personally cared for both my dogs while I've been out of town and I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Leavitta was absolutely amazing! My dog was very well taken care of and my house was left super clean. She checked in with me whenever it was possible for me to be connected to wifi. I would highly recommend her!

Information Leavitta S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your kiddos favorite toy, if they have any bad behaviors I should keep an eye out for (getting into the trash, peeing in the house ect), and what they're like. I love all breeds!

A typical day

I love to be active. If you'd like your fur kid to go on a run, take a hike, play ball, or just be a couch potato for belly rubs I'm all in!
