Safety, trust & environment

I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I will be around during the day to provide care, walks, and outdoor playtime in our fenced in yard! We have two dogs at home, so for their safety and the safety of your dog, we do require dogs to be crated if neither myself or my husband is home. We try our best to spend lots of time at home when we have dogs staying with us so this would generally only be for an hour or so, with a 4 hour max. I am also happy to learn about each potential dogs needs and provide exactly what you're looking for in my home!

Information Leigh J. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything special I need to know about your dog please let me know. Whether it's a medication they need, how quickly they tend to eat their meals, or if they are reactive towards other dogs. I have a lot of experience with different types of dogs and and want to ensure they are happy and comfortable!

A typical day

Daily activities very much depend on the dog, but I make sure each one is physically and mentally stimulated throughout the day. Whether that's long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just getting all the attention and cuddles at home! Daycare hours are from 7am - 7pm but timing is flexible

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs! (Though nagging my parents throughout my childhood didn't pay off until I was in high school and we finally got our first family dog) My husband and I got our first dog 5 years ago and our second one just last year! Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets in the past, whether that’s just walks for watching them overnight, I’d love to extend this care to new dogs!

Leigh did an excellent job welcoming our dogs into her home! We felt they were safe and loved while we were on vacation. She kept me updated with photos that gave me peace of mind that they were being well taken care of.

Leigh and her husband took fantastic care of our dog Moe. He was happily exhausted after coming home. Will definitely use them again in the future.
