Availability
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.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.
Home
Information Leighanne J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is aggressive with other dogs (we only allow friendly friends 🐾) or if they can’t be left alone for 30 min. (I work remote part time and sometimes have live meetings)
A typical day
A typical day at our house is all about keeping dogs happy, comfortable, and safe! I work from home, so I’m with the dogs throughout the day and they’re rarely left alone. Dogs have access to both the house and our fenced yard all day long and can come and go through the dog door as they please. During warmer weather, we pay close attention to the temperature. If it’s over 76°F, we limit outdoor play sessions to about 20–30 minutes at a time before bringing everyone back inside to cool down. We have three kiddie pools that are emptied, cleaned, and refilled with fresh water every day. Around lunchtime, we add bags of ice to keep them cool and refreshing. Fresh, cold drinking water is always available, and on hot days we love treating our guests to frozen pup cups or frozen bone broth popsicles to help them stay cool. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of potty breaks, naps, cuddles, and lots of attention. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re on their own vacation while staying in a safe, loving home environment.

Professional Pet Butler
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.
Cat care experience
Leighanne also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Leighanne took great care of Twilight over the past few days. Twilight took a day to settle in but was content afterwards. Would definitely use again.
Leighanne J. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Mya had a great stay.
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.
