Availability

I am a mom of 2 wonderful children. (12 and 20). I work full time from home and our lives can be a little crazy sometimes but thankfully have a work schedule that is flexible and allows me to have the extra time to care for not only our own pets but to care for someone else's pet when they need it.

Information Leigh D. would like to know about your pet

I am very capable of taking care of animals with special needs but not all of them. Just ask and I can let you know if it is something I am not comfortable with.

A typical day

I have a fenced yard for dogs to run and get some energy out. My husband and I love taking care of pets and playing with them when they are here.

Pet care experience

I was a veterinary technician for 20+ years and wouldn't have it any other way! Caring for animals is my passion. Finding someone you can trust to care for your pets can be stressful. Im here to make it easy and care free! My husband and I now enjoy taking care of pets together. We also are involved in DOD (Dogs of Deployment). We care for dogs of active military for months at a time to help our country.

If you're looking for a sitter for your pet, you won't find any better than Leigh. She takes really good care of my dog every time. My pup is always happy to stay with Leigh and sad to leave. He loves the playtime with the other dogs. Something he cant get at home.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
