Information Lesley M. would like to know about your pet

Would appreciate any information of the dog’s behavior. Is your dog 1) uncomfortable around other dogs? 2) uncomfortable around other people? 3) scared of certain things? 4) preference of treats? 5) interesting quirks? Asking because I know my family dog is scared of flags, bigger dogs, and people with hats (weird mix!)

A typical day

I will make sure your dog has a balance of play time and relax time, depending on the dog’s limit, of course. Will walk your buddy, let them smell things, play with them with their favorite toy. Will be great to understand his behavior and routine beforehand. Ex: When is walk time? When is food time?

Your dog’s biggest fan!

Pet care experience

I promise you we will take care of your dog as if they were our own. Moved to NYC. Parents are empty nesters back home with Toby dog (and I miss Toby to say the least). Really miss taking care of a dog and would love to share some love with yours. Have taken care of dogs (other than Toby) before. Good walker, poop scooper, feeder. Good at petting. And great at playing and cuddling. I live with my partner, Ellery, and he will also be your dog’s biggest fan. And he also really misses dogs. Ellery grew up with dogs and has a lot of experience with puppies and senior pups. So your buddy will get DOUBLE the love and DOUBLE the care. Just please let us know more about your buddy to make sure we accommodate and pay attention to their habits/behavior. To put it simple, here are our goals: 1) Ensure that YOUR BUDDY is 100% comfortable and loved 2) Ensure that YOU are 100% comfortable knowing that your buddy is with us 3) Ensure that WE are 100% enjoying the experience with your buddy Expect pictures and videos! Oh, and here is a perk - your buddy will get a spot on the Couch of Fame🛋️⭐️

We’re so so happy that Enzo stayed with Lesly and Ellery! We were a little nervous to leave him behind for 5 days but they not only made our anxious dog super comfy during his stay, they also shared daily updates with us while we were away which we appreciated so so much! Thank you both for taking care of our baby boy. This will definitely not be the last time you see him! 😊

Elsie had another wonderful stay with Lesley & Ellery! As always, they sent us the cutest photos and let us know when anything seemed amiss with our little beagle gal. L&E are the sweetest and Elsie loves her visits with them. We’ll be back again soon!

Lesley & Ellery are fantastic sitters! Our little beagle gal Elsie had her 2nd stay with them and also made fast friends with Daisy the doxie! As always, Lesley is super responsive and sends plenty of cute pics. I’m sure Elsie will be back soon!

Lesley and Ellery were wonderful sitters for our recently-adopted Elsie! Lesley was super communicative with cute photos and very thorough with preliminary questions for us. It was clear that Elsie was in caring and capable hands with the two of them, and we are so grateful. We'd happily book them again!
