Pet care experience

There’s just nothing better than getting to provide a pup with the love and care they need to thrive. It’s so great getting to be the person that can bring a dog to a smile’s face! Plus, I know first-hand how hard it can be to find a trusted caregiver for your best friend while you’re away. I’m here to fulfill that role! Getting a dog sitter is just a dream come true for me, so I can’t wait to meet your pooch! I have pet sat for many people over the past several years. This has also included daytime dog walking. I also have experience cat sitting. I can play with your kitty, scoop litter, and feed them too! Personally, I grew up with six Corgis so I am familiar with mischievous and active pups of all ages. When taking on a client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. During the greets, it is important for the dogs to see me interact positively with their owners. If they see that the owner trusts me, then the dogs will be more inclined to do so as well. It’s also a great opportunity for me to ask plenty of questions face-to-face. I like to get as much information about your pup as possible! That way, I can start thinking about how to make your pooch as happy as possible before they come under my wing.

Leigh was available to us last minute for 5 dogs! She took care of their feedings and meds, and sent us daily updates with photos. Will definitely use her again!

Leigh was wonderful, as always. We received daily pictures which made us feel great and let us know our dog was doing well. Would highly recommend!

Leigh once again did a fantastic job! My cat was recovering from dental work and she kept him happy and healthy while I was away.

Information Leigh R. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

During our time together, I like to keep your pup on the schedule that they’d normally have with their owner as much as possible. I know that dogs are creatures of habit, so I’ll always do my best to adhere to the schedule they’re used to at home. For exercise we could go to the park, play ball in the yard, or enjoy a nice walk. I would also take your pooch to any nearby parks or trails if you’re comfortable with that! No matter what, I’ll always just try to do what makes your dog the happiest.
