16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

I currently offer drop ins, dog walking and housesitting. I work from home and have a flexible schedule most days of the week. You may see that my most recent work was in Brooklyn, NC. I successfully worked part time with many repeat clients until I moved back to NC last winter. Now that I am more grounded from this transition, I’m excited to be offering let care services once again.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I pay attention to detail and follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure their needs are met while understanding some pets are more high maintenance than others and have just as different personalities as we humans. I really do my best to ensure they’re safe and generally air on the side of caution with them when outside.

Information Leigh J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs your pet may have or any behaviors that are important to note. What are their quirks and dislikes? How are they on leash?

A typical day

I love enhancing the skills your pet is already working on and introducing new ones as they’re ready. If they need exercise, I’ll jog with them and take them to their favorite park to play fetch or relax.

All the fun, Great care taken

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs my whole life — I grew up with a family dog from ages 5 to 14, and later had a sweet small rescue in my 30s. I enjoy giving (and getting!) plenty of attention, with playtime being one of my favorite parts — whether it’s a game of chase, a tug-of-war, or a good cuddle. I match the energy of each dog I work with, offering space when they need it and affection when they want it. I especially love brushing them, helping with training using treats, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.

Leigh did a great job watching our 2 dogs and house for a week! She sent frequent updates throughout the stay.

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.
