Retired and an early riser, my sweet, calm, 5 yr old Lab and I are out the back door for a quick bathroom break, I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a 4 acre back enclosed courtyard that is quiet, green and well maintained. Then it's breakfast time, I usually give the digestive process an hour or so before it's time for a good hour of play and or a 3 mile walk, especially before it get's to hot. Bathroom breaks are through out the day until dinner at 5, then another good walk as it gets cooler and weather permitting. There is a final bathroom break before bed. I will always gage the activity to my clients needs whether older or younger. I do ride my horse a few times a week, when I do leave it is my priority that the dogs are tired and have plenty of water.

About Leslee R.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up for pets and people. Dogs are welcome to lounge on all furniture and beds. I have plenty of space for dog beds and if a dog prefers a crate, I am able to accommodate that as well. It is important to talk about various aspects of your dog's behavior and needs. For example, It is very natural for a dog to need space and privacy while eating and some even need quiet time with no other dogs around. Some female dogs enjoy being the boss and need to "safely" work out the hierarchy within the home. While everyone loves 'Treat time", for some dogs it creates a competitive environment. If that is a possibility treats are for another time! It is an important discussion to have to ensure all dogs and humans stay safe and have fun.

30 years of pet sitting experience
Pet care experience
I started my pet sitting career in Boston in 1993, little did I know it would grow to over 150 dogs a day and over 15 employees. Those Boston days are well behind me, I hold them dear as I am still in contact with my very first client (reference available). As I got older, married, moved to Nantucket MA and then Telluride CO. while raising 3 children, my home was always filled with dogs, I found that good people who needed good pet care always managed to somehow find me. My vast experience allows me to truly enjoy the company of these fantastic creatures that bring us such joy. It my goal, to be sure that an owner that has endeared their pet into my care can enjoy their time away knowing that their dog is safe and happy. My strengths that set me apart as a dog companion are my abilities to be aware of the emotional and physiological aspects of dog behavior. I really watch to see if a dog is happy or unhappy. If a dog feels safe or threatened. It is important that a dog's needs are met on these basic aspects. I have bred dogs, worked with dog breeders and worked in animal hospitals in both Nantucket and Telluride. I have an extensive list of references upon request.
Reviews
I first met Leslee over 30 years ago as a dog walker in Beacon Hill. We had just adopted an 8 week old golden retriever puppy and Leslee was known throughout the neighborhood as a caring, responsible and loving dog walker. She is one of those unique people that is able to communicate with and understand dogs and their needs and behaviors. She is respectful of others' homes and a responsible dog walker. I would whole heartedly recommend Leslee as a walker with Rover.
I can’t think of a better person to take care of my dog. I was Leslee’s first dog walking client, many years ago. From the first walk, I knew that she was the right person. My dog was glowing when I got home from work. I knew that I would never have to worry about my dog. He was well taken care of, and well loved. She is one of the most passionate dog lovers I’ve ever known. I’ve always admired that she took that true passion and turned it into a successful business, running one of the most respected dog walking companies in Boston. Even as her business grew, she never lost site of the dogs she cared for, or the people who came along with them. I would trust any dog of mine to be safe, well-cared for and well-loved in Leslee’s hands.
If you're looking for any kind of animal care- Leslee's you're person! Her knowledge and intuition for animals is deep. She's very caring and playful with them- they'll enjoy every minute of their visit with her!! I have known her for decades and would trust her completely with any pet. We first met in Boston, where she owned Beacon Hill Pet Sitters, a thriving pet sitting business with a very large client base. I've known her to care for dogs of all breeds, cats, parrots, chickens, turtles, etc. She can not be topped for experience or enthusiasm.
Leslee is a caring & competent pet caregiver with years of experience & a great affection for our four legged friends! She is most reliable & a genuinely responsible person. I have known her professionally and as a family friend.
