A sitter for your critter

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my whole life, ranging from a miniature Yorkie to a pit bull mix, and have cared for a variety of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have an advanced degree in psychology and one of my favorite uses for it is using learning theory to train dogs. I will provide your dog with care to your specifications, administer meds, go on walks and runs, play fetch and tug, and maybe teach your baby a few fun tricks. I take all ages and sizes, and I'll be sure to leave your dog and home just as I found it. I'll be sure to ask you whether your dog has any allergies or dietary restrictions, and whether there are any behavioral problems that I should anticipate. I use only positive reinforcement techniques. Also experienced with bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, and chickens (for the urban farmers among us).

I almost don't want to write it because I don't want Leighann to get super busy but Leighann is amazing! She is knowledgeable, flexible and super communicative. She is amazing at reassuring you that your fur babies and home will be taken care off and she certainly delivers! Buggy, Tiny and I love her!!

Leighann is an experienced and exceptional dog mom. If you're looking for someone that will treat your dog like her own and talk to them in baby voices, look no further. Leighann is definitely on the very short list of people that I let watch my dogs.

Leighann is a dog lover and owner, and has taken care of my dog many times in the past. She is very passionate about the humane care of dogs, and loves them all. She is very in tune with dog health and behavior. She is definitely someone you can trust with your pet.

Information Leighann N. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any allergies, medications, or food restrictions. I would also need to know any behavioral issues such as dog aggression, fear of children, sensitivity to being touched in certain places, fear of men with beards, etc. I'm also happy to reinforce rules like staying off the couch or out of the bedroom.

A typical day

If your dog is up for it, I'm happy to go on walks to the park, runs, visits to the dog park (only with your permission), play fetch and tug, and anything else your dog likes to do. Frequent sniff stops are a must!
