Hi, people that know me know how much of an animal lover I am. Looking after animals especially dogs is very rewards as I lost my own dog after 14yrs in 2025. I shaved my hair a few years ago to raise money for an animal charity, because of Covid charities are struggling. I always give 110% because looking after animals isn`t a chore, it`s a satisfaction. I sometimes look after my friends dog and have boarded him at their house, also my neighbors cat when they go away. I am happy to stay overnight, this would be at the owners house rather than my own. I am happy to have a chat if someone has more question they would like to ask or find our more. Here are some quotes from people who know me - Julie M. Apr 08, 2025 I cannot recommend Lesley enough as someone who would care for your pets. She has a big heart filled with love and compassion for all animals. Sadly my own dog Doogie, a Cocker Spaniel, is no longer with us. Lesley would walk him and he would happily stay with her overnight. Doogie would greet Lesley as enthusiastically as he did me which I think speaks for itself. Lesley has owned her own dogs previously and I am confident that she is able to respond to the needs of any animals in an assured and responsible fashion. Sarah M. Apr 03, 2025 Lesley is a very warm, kind and caring person. Huge lover of all animals. Highly recommend her for pet sitting. Your pet will be very loved, cared for and in a very safe pair of hands. Lesley is also very professional, reliable and trustworthy. Glyn M. Apr 15, 2025 We have known Lesley and her family for over 25yrs. During this time they had their Jack Russel called Jack for over 17yrs. Lesley has always been very passionate about animals and has often championed there safety and welfare. Lesley is not afraid to challenge poor care and treatment of animals. Lesley was devoted to their "Jack" and his health and safety were paramount in him being part of their family. We have recently got our own dog and he has stayed with Lesley and she has stayed here at our own home with him and we are confident when leaving him that he will be well cared for and looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting their pets looked after by Lesley. Kind Regards Lesley I would board dogs at their own homes only, this can sometimes help if they are in a familiar environment. I have more time to look after other people's pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I would follow instructions that owners have asked if me, I feel a routine will help with any pets anxieties. Give them cuddles if they let me and make sure they have food and water and either let them out or take them out to the toilet.

Pet care experience
I've always been an animal lovers, I go above and beyond when caring for any animal. I used to bring in wild life that was injured and if I hear a dog crying constantly, I find myself checking if it's ok. My friends and family always joke about how much I care for animals.
Cat care experience

Reviews

I could see that Alfie (my springer ) took to Lesley immediately on the first meeting and when she came to sit with him he was super excited. Lesley took time to find ask about him and what he likes etc Alfie was happy and content when I came home and appeared to be well looked after and spoiled.
This was our first time leaving our 4 month old pup with someone outside the family and Lesley was fantastic. Lesley provided play time, a walk and cuddles/downtime. All perfect for our pup! Georgie was clearly very settled and comfortable which is testament to the time and care Lesley had taken when meeting Georgie beforehand and on the day. I would highly recommend Lesley.

Lesley is a comforting and grounding presence. She was great with our elderly Jack Russel. Lesley has a great attitude and is trustworthy. You can tell she absolutely adores animals. I can highly recommend her as a pet sitter! Only wish she did human sitting as well! ;) Thank you Lesley!
Lesley is great and you can tell she loves dogs. She popped round to meet Ralph before the walk to meet and him gave me pictures updates while on the walk. Ralph seemed to have a great time and I’ll defo be booking again!
