Pet-lover and vet student!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs, cats, and many other pets since I was a toddler! I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I am currently working at a doggy daycare, so I am well-versed in the world of dog boarding and care! I am also a third-year veterinary student at Mizzou, so I have spent a lot time learning about what your pet may need medically, and I know what potential issues to look out for! I am also experienced with administering many kinds of medications. I have also owned a diabetic dog in the past, so I know how to administer insulin.

Leigh was amazing! Not only did she take great care of our senior pup, she also took care of the house during her stay. We are so thankful for the photos and updates she sent, and we look forward to reaching out to Leigh again for her services in the future.

Leigh is so good to my Phred and Rascal and especially to me! Loved rec'g photos of them while away from home. Thank you for putting up with my spoiled fur babies! Lynn

Leigh did an excellent job with our dogs. Sent us plenty of pictures throughout the stay to keep us in the loop.

Safety, trust & environment

As your house sitter, I would spend my evening and morning time with your pet(s) while going to my clinical rotations during the day. While watching your pet(s) at your home, I am available to walk your pet(s), feed them, and hang out with them! I am happy to study and do my school work from your home as much as possible in order to spend more time with your pet(s).

Information Leigh C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s medical needs before I watch them. I am a current vet student, so I am comfortable with handling and caring for many kinds of pets with various conditions! Also, please let me know how often your pet needs to be let out, so I can see if my schedule allows for the frequency of needed potty breaks!

A typical day

I love to go on hikes on the trails around Columbia, and I have taken the dogs I’ve watched before on these trails! I am also an avid runner, so if your dog likes to run, I would love to take them with me!

I am currently completing my clinical rotations for veterinary school, so I may be working at the hospital for 8-12 hours a day depending on the case load/rotation (this includes some weekends). So, my house sitting services would best work for pets that can spend extended periods of time on their own and/or pets that have someone else to care for them during the day.
