Rare find!
Pet care experience
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 live on the west edge of Fenton Township (convenient to Hwy 23) but drive to downtown Fenton often. So jobs in Linden and Fenton are both convenient. No job + no pets + no small children = no distractions. I’ll give your pet attention 24/7. Partially fenced yard and quiet street with only 12 homes for peaceful, leashed walks. Nearby trails and parks for longer adventures and daily exercise/exploring/socialization. I have a stake with a 25 foot lead for relaxing in my backyard (25 ft radius = 50 ft diameter) and watching nature and interesting activity on the lake. We can swim or wade in my lake if you approve. Or just have fun watching the fish and waves from the beach or dock. I’m happy to give a quick bath with puppy shampoo after the lake if you approve.
Reviews
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!!
Leslie was amazing! She was great with sending pictures and videos all night of our sweet boy. She went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable with her at all times. Cash came home relaxed and happy ?
Leslie was an absolute dream. Our other sitter fell through, so we reached out to Leslie and she was amazing with the pups. She was great at communicating and took our puppy on lots of walks. I would recommend her over and over again. We appreciated her help last minute so much!

Skills
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. Unfortunately, I frequently fall in love with my guests. It’s always bittersweet when they leave because it’s sad to see them go, but they are always so very, very happy when their owner returns.

Information Leslie B. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I’m happy to go on as many walks as your pup desires. We can explore the yard, the lake, the neighborhood, and wooded trails. If you approve, I would throw in trips to the Thompson Road dog park.

Availability
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.
