I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos.

Friendly and set up for dogs. Disorganized though and didn't know what stuff was ours. Was a bit upset to find out they didn't know what food they had been feeding our dog. Older dogs to not always do well on switching diets. That is why we label and discuss their food at the beginning.

Muffin had a great time playing with the other dogs! It was so good for her to spend time with playmates and work off some of her energy! Leighanne has a great set up for the dogs and you can tell that she has a genuine love for them. She kept me up to date with how Muffin was doing throughout my trip. It was a great experience for all of us.

I've been very nervous to leave my pups while I go out of town. I left my 3 with Leighanne and I couldn't have been happier with the experience! They all have very different personalities, and Leighanne and her family made sure they were accepted in their home. I would definitely recommend!
