Enthusiastic and caring dog lover!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Lesley and I would love to meet you and your dog. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and I have about 10 years of experience taking care of other people's dogs as a hobby and I have worked with dogs that have trauma and health issues. My communication style is direct and compassionate. I want the experience of you, your dog, and I to be beneficial for all. I prefer to meet up briefly before we agree to work together to make sure everyone is comfortable! My approach to pet care is to be a solid and present listener to the needs of the dog and the dog's person. I provide lots of gentle touch and cuddles, as well as more rowdy play for the energetic dog friends. I am excited and available to walk dogs to their favorite nearby places. I love jogging and running. I'm also great at just hanging out and playing with toys, or just sitting quietly. I have frequent availability, especially during the week. Though I can certainly provide my services on some weekends. I am very mobile. I have a car and a bike, if you're nearby. I am available to come to your home for dogwalking, to let them outside or feed them, and to stay overnight while you're away. My house sitting fees can vary depending on the extent of care desired, as well as the number of days. Inquire for more info! But generally, what I charge includes an overnight stay as well as feeding, walks, and playtime during the day. I'm usually available to be in the home most or all of the day, if desired. ***For Extended Daytime Stays past the 30 minute drop in ($15), I charge another $15 for the first full hour ($30 total), then $15 per each additional hour. 24 hour housesitting is $60. Thanks for your interest and I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews
Great sitter. House was clean and dogs were happy. :-)
Thank you Lesley for taking such good care of Hugo. I appreciate the exercise and walks you gave him. He slept for a couple hours after you left! Also thanks for working on his puppy training. See you next time.
Lesley is trustworthy, dependable, and kind. She loves dogs and treats them like family. My dogs and I just love her and highly recommend her services!
Lesley is an excellent caregiver to dogs or any type of pet. She has tons of compassion and patience, she is my #1 go-to when I think of trustworthy pet care. A true lover of animals! She is a determined individual and keeps calm under any circumstance!

Skills
Information Lesley B. would like to know about your pet
Before working with a dog, I would like to have a good understanding of their temperament; if they tend to be more timid or aggressive. Especially if we are to visit a dog park together, I'd like to know how they tend to behave around other dogs.
A typical day
I'm a huge fan of nature and the outdoors. Wherever you are located, I'll do my best to find the nearest park or natural area to walk and play with your dog. I love to run and play with toys with dogs, as well as give thorough pets and scratches as long as they like. I don't mind enthusiastic licks of the face, either.
