Pet care experience
I am a certified professional dog trainer and dog walker local to Dedham. I have been in the pet care industry for the last 6 years, including daycares, walli businesses, and shelters. I am deeply invested in the well being of the dogs that I care for, and am always looking to learn how to be a more trained and better caretaker. I am most interested in canine behavior, canine fitness, and canine sports, and would love to work on more advanced training or fun with your dog. I have years of experience with anxious and reactive dogs and enjoy creating a space they are and feel safe and loved. I am looking to provide more training, adventures, and sports services in the future as I continue to gain experience!
Reviews
We enjoyed high confidence in Leo’s thoughtful and attentive care in boarding our dogs Yukon and Tedi. So glad to have found her close to the hotel and family wedding reception venue.
always a great walk with Leo
Leo is an A+ dog walker. MY 13 year old poodle is happy to see her, and I trust her completely.
Leo picked up my 13 year old dog with a cheery greeting, and I was surprised to see Fletch happily walk away with her. He is usually quite wary about strangers. Leo appears to have a special way with animals. Fethch bounced happily into the house after a great walk - and I'll call Leo again.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a single family home with a large backyard, with plenty of private and safe space for your dog to feel comfortable, have fun, and learn new skills. This space has allowed me to really provide an enjoyable stay for your dog, a very different experience to caretaking while living in an apartment! I have years of experience in all caretaking settings and would be happy to fulfill any and all special requests or needs your pets have. My house is relatively dog proof and I have all of the supplies needed for any dog that stays with me.

https://forms.gle/F5VwmW54CMj5yv2VA I would greatly appreciate any boarding clients completing this google form so that I feel confident in my knowledge of your dogs needs and history, and have an organized place to access the information especially in case of emergency.
A typical day
I love walking in nature with the dogs I spend time with. If possible, I love enjoying training and enrichment activities like working on new commands, playing with friends, learning agility or working skills that make both me and the dogs feel much more fulfilled.

The dogs I care for are my first priority as this is my full time job. I live in a single family house with a large backyard, with easy access to nearby parks, reservations, and even swimming. All dogs boarding with me begin their day around 7 am and have a last potty break around 10pm. I make sure to walk them at least 5 times, and always include a “big walk” in each day - a trip to a dog park, a hike, a field trip to the beach, an extra long walk with lots of time to sniff, a training session, etc. it is really important to me that the dogs I care for are happy and engaged.
