Pet care experience
I love animals and always have. I am not partial to only dogs or only cats, I love them equally but have the most experience with cats. I have had small dogs/cats/small animals since I was child. The pets in my life have always been very happy and healthy and lived well into their old age. I currently have a 10 year old cat, a 2 year old cat and 5 year old special needs cat. The vet is always surprised with how young my pets seem based on their health. I have past experience as a kennel tech at RBARI during college and comfortable with administering meds to kitties. I’ve also had kitty clients need insulin and administered that to them twice daily. My initial rate is higher as I offer a full hour visit the first time to ensure the pet is comfortable with me. After the first visit, if an hour is not needed, rates can be adjusted.
Reviews
I've always experienced Leigh being very patient and kind towards the dogs she has cared for. Responsible and attentive. Always excited for walks, her and the dogs get along quite well.
You can tell Leigh loves animals. She has taken amazing care of my Tucker. I love how she interacts with him. I highly recommend Leigh for taking care of someone’s lovable pet
Leigh is wonderful! She treated my beloved little Maltese, Charlie like her own. Her love of animals is obvious and my little guy loved having her around! She pays careful attention to all care instructions. I highly recommend her!
Leigh is a reliable, trustworthy, kind soul and caregiver to all animals and people. She treats your furry loved ones like family and provides exceptional care. She will make sure all the needs of your pet(s) are met and will keep your space neat, tidy, and safe in the process. She is the first person I call whenever I need someone to care for my fur babies while I’m away.

I will treat your pets with the same love I would treat my own! I am only available in your home. I love being active and will be happy to go on lots of walks and play with your dog or cat regularly.
Information Leigh L. would like to know about your pet
I am fairly small so strong dogs (especially those who aren’t good on a leash) aren’t ideal. IMPORTANT: I am unable to sit for dogs that have any history or biting or aggressive behavior. While I understand there are sad circumstances that can lead to bad behavior I am NOT equipped to handle a dog with behavior issues that have to do with aggression or that could injure me. I am more experienced with cats and am capable sitting for cats of all behavior types. I am often call the “cat whisperer” by my friends. Cats that are very shy often love me.
A typical day
I’m happy to take him/her on as many adventures as they are capable of! I love going on long walks and hikes and would welcome a companion. I know for a senior dogs/dogs with health issues this isn’t always possible so we can also stay close to home if that is safer. We can also go to the park or play in your yard! Please note: I am unable to walk dogs that are strong and have poor leash skills. I am small and have been knocked to the ground strong dogs before (who were poor on leashes).
