Calling all pets to attention!

Pet care experience

I am always up to adventure to the beach or through the park. Down to cuddle and give all the pets and attention. I am probably just as excited to play catch and tug with your puppy. But above all else, I am most calm and patient with them. I am especially good working with shy or timid dogs and the way we develop trust. Food, high pitched friendly name calling, and gentle pets to the chest, if the dog allows, can ease their fears. I am prepared to walk and or/ play with all the dogs of all ages and size, breed and temperament. I will gift all the positive affermations and accept all intense, wiggly or shy dogs. I also welcome cats and kittens alike. I have endless hours of entertaining and cuddling felines available!

Leigh was really, really fantastic with my dog Bean (who can be more than a handful) AND was also really patient with my neurotic check-ins that happened on a daily basis. I would definitely have them watch Bean again!

Leigh was absolutely wonderful with my 1yo kitty cat Belle! Leigh was very communicative for each visit and spent time getting to know my cat, reading Belle's moods, and adjusting her approach accordingly. She was also creative with different types of play to keep Belle engaged. I felt reassured by Leigh's care and would highly recommend her!

Leigh is absolutely fantastic with my fur babies! My diabetic cat can sometimes be nervous/shy around new sitters administering her insulin but wasn't the case with Leigh. She warmed up to Leigh immediately. My dog is also a fan!

Information Leigh D. would like to know about your pet

What is your dogs favorite toy? Any allergies? How do they react to dogs at a dog park? Rules regarding playing with sticks or digging? How often will your friend need to use the restroom and what is their way of letting me know ?

A typical day

Love visiting the beach and Can hose them down after in the backyard if requested. We will play catch and tug until they are happy and smiling. I love hikes and exploring parks. I love the beach path along Santa Monica.

I am a freelance art handler for museums! Therefore I have set weekdays where I will be unavailable from 8am-5pm. During these specific weeks I’ll be available for care from 5:30pm-7:30am as well as the full weekends. When I’m not installing or destalling a show, I work remotely with photography!! I like to visit the rock climbing gym in the mornings and take walks in my free time.
