I work part-time/remotely as a voice acting coach. I’m very flexible! I’m happy to have a schedule that allows for lots of time to love your pet. With that said, I’m happy to commit time to driving to meet you and your pets and chat before you commit. After that I request you schedule a drop in if another meeting is required. If it’s just a key exchange at that point either hiding it or bringing it to me would work too. Thank you!

I follow your lead in terms of what makes you and your pets feel comfortable and am very adaptable with all types of pet personalities due to my shelter experience. I’ve managed many leash reactive dogs on walks and can also just play fetch in the backyard for long periods of time!

I’m happy to accommodate special requests or needs to make any pets or pet parents more comfortable. Please let me know your hopes and dreams!

A typical day

Unless instructed otherwise, I like to let the dog lead since it is their only time outside to explore. I’m happy to follow rules you’ve worked hard to establish. I love to stay active and can walk or play for hours. If you have a cat then clearly They will let me know how things will go ;)

Pet care experience

Hi pet parents! I’ve been volunteering at shelters, fostering, and pet-sitting for 30 years. I’m highly active and will outwalk your dog! I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and fish - and animals have been integral to my life ever since. I have tons of experience with lease-reactive dogs and have had two dogs who were biters who became my best friends after a few patient weeks. I also have given meds and injections. I can’t get enough cuddles, and there isn't a single pet that I can’t win over. 🥰

Lesley was absolutely wonderful as our home and dog sitter while we were abroad for two weeks. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing both our home and our fur babies were in such capable and caring hands. She took incredible care of our dogs, keeping them happy, loved, and on their routines. It’s clear she treats both pets homes with genuine care and respect. We came back to calm, well-cared-for pups and a house that felt just as we left it, which is truly the best feeling after traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Lesley again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and thoughtful sitter.
