Highlights
Pet care experience
Rare find!
I have no pets of my own and only board pets from one family at a time. (Or for less stress for all, I’m happy to take care of your pets in your home.) Your fur baby will have my full attention 24/7. Neighbors, Rover customers, friends, family, and animal shelters have relied on me to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, train and give loving care to a wide variety of animals over the years. All give me glowing praise and recommendations. Most importantly, I love doing it and taking care of pets is the highlight of my day. I am retired so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I am willing to take on any job - big or small. I moved to the Village of LaGrange in August 2026.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’ll listen carefully to your instructions and follow them all. If I ever have any questions or notice any odd behavior or health issues, I notify the owner immediately. Lots of people tell me that I’m a “dog whisperer”. I agree that I have a sixth sense for knowing how a pet is feeling and trying lots of different tactics to keep them happy and healthy.
Ratings and reviews
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Leslie! We were away in the Dominican Republic for a week and felt completely at ease the entire time, thanks to her. She took incredible care of our chocolate lab Maya and our home — going above and beyond in every way. What really stood out was her communication. Leslie sent us photos and updates every single day without fail. As pet parents who are very attached to our girl, that daily contact meant the world to us and gave us true peace of mind to actually relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy, well-loved pup and a home in perfect order. We would trust Leslie again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares. She's the real deal! 🐾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our dog, Lilah, stayed the weekend with Leslie and her husband recently! They were super nice and prompt at responding. We really appreciated their flexibility with dropoff/pickup and pictures/updates they sent! They seemed to really enjoy Lilah’s company and she loved them! Would definitely recommend and use again!
Leslie was amazing. Awesome updates each day and Laverne had the best time. Would absolutely use her again in the future. Thank you, Leslie!!!
Leslie was great with our little guy! She provided pictures and detailed updates!. We were at ease leaving for vacation knowing our dog was being well cared for! We are thankful to have found Leslie!
Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. 11/10 highly recommend. Very knowledgeable.
Our pup had a fantastic stay with Leslie! She kept us informed on how he was doing and sent plenty of videos and pictures of him during his stay. He was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!!

Schedule
I’m retired. Your pet will get my attention 24/7. And my husband is also retired, so usually there are two of us doting on our guests.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsLeslie can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- I don’t have any breed preferences - I love them all. I’d appreciate it if you would let me know your pet’s temperament so I can get a jumpstart on forming a great relationship. Also, please make me aware of any potential issues or troubles you have had in the past with sitters, walkers, or boarding. I ask four questions to all dogs that are new to me: 1. Are they up to date on their flea/tick treatments and shots? 2. Are they 100% potty trained or is there any chance of an accident/marking? 3. Are they ok sleeping in a crate the first night or two while we get to know each other and they get comfortable with my house? (If they prefer to sleep in bed with me, we will transition to that ASAP - possibly even the first night) 4. Are they friendly to other dogs? Just in case we have the opportunity for a doggie play date or go to the dog park.
