Pet care experience

Experienced pet carer with over 10 years experience with dogs and cats. I’m currently a foster carer for a local cat shelter, I have been a cat and dog parent in the past and now focusing on pet sitting, and dog walking. I offer daytime walks, daycare at my home, drop ins, and overnight care as and when needed. Being an at-home parent my hours are fairly flexible on weekdays, and on weekends by request. I have some dog training experience and love to put my skills to use, or work with pet guardians on their training routines. We currently don’t have any pets living at home, so your fur baby can be assured of lots of love and attention from me and my family. IMPORTANT For stays in my home: I do have three children at home (a 4yr old, a 9yr old and a 11 yr old) so for any bookings at my home I can only take in pets who are comfortable being around children. I always take care to ensure that pets have space for themselves and that the children treat them respectfully, but I am unable to take in pets to my own home that may be extremely timid or aggressive with children. I am a stay at home Mum, and work part-time at home. So my schedule is fairly flexible, pets are not left on their own unless it’s for short periods. I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their drop off and pick up times. Dogs usually stay with me and my family in our family room and kitchen which has easy access to our fenced yard. Cats (who sometimes prefer a little more space and quiet) normally stay in our front living room which has a huge window so they can comfortably watch the world go by. I have a pen that can be set up for puppies, but I find it’s best to bring your own familiar items from home to help your pet settle in. I never let a dog outside in our yard without me being present and with small dogs I will often leash them while we use the garden just to be safe.

Leigh is wonderful! Highly recommend. Our kitty warmed up to her quickly and was very well taken care of. Leigh was very accommodating and provided us with thorough updates. Thank you again Leigh! We will definitely be in touch again.

Boarded my cat with Leigh and her family for 3 weeks while traveling for work. She is super flexible with drop off/pick up times, and I could tell my cat was so much healthier and happier when I picked him up than when he stays at traditional boarding facilities. She also provides a litter box which made travel day much easier to prepare for.

This was our second time using Leigh and our cat (who can be quite standoffish and moody) recognized her and her family, even snuggled on the couch with them for a bit! We were so happy to know our cat was in such great hands, and we’re happy she got the care and love she needed while we were away. The photos were great and the updates were timely. We had another family member drop our cat off on our behalf as our flight was quite early and Leigh was flexible and communicative the entire time. For someone like myself who tends to worry a lot, this put my (overthinking) mind at ease. Thank you Leigh and family!!

Information Leigh R. would like to know about your pet

I have children in the house so I just need to be sure that dogs and cats are comfortable being around children. I can work with pups who are toilet training, I just like to know in advance.

A typical day

Typically I will spend time playing and building trust with new dogs or cats. Once we are familiar with each other dogs can accompany me on walks in our local area (we have great trails and a park nearby). I have three energetic sons who absolutely love playing with kitties and pups so there would be no end of fun playmates.
