Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, caring, and active dog sitter & walker
Hi, I’m Lee — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience raising, training, and caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been dogsitting and walking from a young age, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, respect, and understanding for their individual personalities. I have a composed, confident energy that helps animals feel safe, but I also love to match their enthusiasm when it’s time for play or exercise. I believe in allowing animals to be themselves, while setting clear and kind boundaries they can understand. Whether it’s a long walk, a day of companionship, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, stimulated, and cared for at all times.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I create a calm but structured environment for pets, where they feel safe to play, rest, and be themselves. My large fenced garden allows for safe outdoor time, and I always supervise when outside. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I adapt to their normal routine, keep things consistent, and make sure they get the right mix of exercise, affection, and downtime. My focus is always on trust, safety, and clear communication — both with the pet and the owner.
Ratings and reviews
From the moment Lee came to our house Harvey our dog took to him straight away. You can tell Lee has an affinity for dogs. Halfway through the evening Lee sent us a photo of Harvey resting on him which is something our sometimes aloof dog will not do. So that was very nice to see. Would highly recommend Lee.
Lee watched my dog for the day and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. He was super responsive, clearly loves animals, and made sure my dog was well cared for and happy. I got a couple of photo updates during the day, which was a really nice touch. When I picked my dog up, he was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I’d definitely trust Lee to watch him again—highly recommend!
Lee has always been such a natural when it comes to looking after all my dogs, I have had all shapes and sizes from Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos and Rottweilers, he's a very calm easy going person for dogs to become comfortable around, never had any issues at all, a very natural, genuine animal lover.
Lee is an exceptional dog sitter and walker. He clearly loves animals and gave my Chayce an absolutely wonderful time whilst I was away. Lee went above and beyond to make sure that Chayce had lots of exercise, stimulation from training and play, he also made sure to stick to Chayce’s feeding regime which is very specific to her breed. Thanks Lee!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am a self-employed sports coach, massage therapist, and trauma-informed counsellor. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I’m active throughout the week, so daily walks, playtime, and drop-in visits slot naturally into my schedule. I often have entire days where I'm available to take care of your pet. I make sure each pet gets quality time, exercise, and attention, no matter the day.

- I like to understand a dog’s personality and boundaries before we start. Please tell me what they enjoy, what might make them anxious, and how they respond to guidance or correction. Details about their routine, energy level, and any health or training needs help me create the right balance of structure, play, and rest so your dog feels safe and settled.
