Pet care experience
I have been around animals my whole life. I began petsitting for neighbors when I was in elementary school. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have experience taking care of a senior cat and administering meds to both cats and dogs. I am a 8+ year volunteer as a wildlife caretaker which involves following very specific training instructions and handling (mostly birds, some mammals and reptiles). I have experience caring for: dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and have provided basic care for farm animals (horses, goats, chickens, other) on a few occasions. I am fully vaccinated including the booster.
Reviews
Lesley is very friendly and my cat, Charlotte, warmed up to her right away. We were gone for roughly two weeks over the holidays and it made me feel so much better to know that she was there to keep her company. The daily photos were very much appreciated!
Lesley did a great job with our dog while we were out of town. Loved getting the photos and updates. Very reliable and asked lots of good questions ahead of time. Would highly recommend.
She is awesome with our pup and very easy to work with! Highly recommend her! :)
Lesley was awesome! She sent us pictures when she visited our dog for drop in visits and was very responsive and easy to work with! We highly recommend her :)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Every animal is unique, so I take instructions seriously for the safety of your pet. I will take care of your dog, cat, or other pet as if they were my own.
Information Lesley H. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know of any quirks your pet may have, such as likes and dislikes. E.g. avoid other dogs, pulls on walks, still training (and how), loves belly rubs, hates or loves being picked up, etc.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhood! We will walk at the pace your dog needs and your dog will enjoy many compliments, good behavior encouragement, and lots of pets (dog-willing). Cats will enjoy praise, pets (cat-willing), play-time, appropriate food, and lap time if that is what they are into. Any other kind of animal will get the attention and care they need!
