Just Like Home Pet Care
I absolutely love this job! I specialize in the little ones - all the various breeds of cats and dogs up to about ~20 lbs. My top two goals in providing care are rather simple - for the pup to feel comfortable and loved and for the owner/parent to not worry about their pets' care while they are away. CARE: The two most common questions I get asked are: Q: Will you walk my dog? A: Of course! The amount I walk is dependent on the individual dog and their interest/needs. Directly to the rear of my building there is miles and miles of paved trails that I and your dog can explore. For dogs with special needs, I have a walkout patio with lots of grass for easy access potty breaks as well as a doggie carriage. Q: Can my dog sleep on your bed? A: Absolutely! Boarding in a new environment can be stressful for dogs so I allow them to nap/sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. (When dogs go home, they go right back to their normal sleeping arrangements and routines).

Ratings and reviews
Leslie is very thoughtful and really enjoys spending time with dogs. She did a meet and greet so that our 16 yr old little guy felt comfortable in her home. She even had a dog stroller for him to get some fresh air since he can’t walk too long these days. We’re looking forward to working with Leslie again!
Leslie is simply the best! Theo is lucky to have her in his life!
Mylo has a fantastic meet and greet with Leslie and wonderful overnight adventure. Leslie shared photos and updates. He was very tired from his sleepover. She is very good with Mylo/ learning his quirks and habits. Thank you!
Leslie took such good care of my pup while I was away! It was clear from the pictures and videos Leslie sent that my dog was happy, safe, and had fun. I’m so appreciative of the peace of mind Leslie provides by knowing that my pup is with someone who is so caring and lovely.
Leslie was extremely attentive to our little guy. He's senior with sounds of dementia and she made him feel right at home. She's amazing!
Leslie has been taking care of our two pups for a few years now. She is great with both dogs who each have very different personalities and different needs. She makes them feel at home which reduces the stress of being boarded. We will continue to use her in the future!

ABOUT ME: As a longtime owner of Bichons who are now over the rainbow, I know that feeling of being excited to go somewhere and simultaneously being a bit nervous with leaving our animal friends. I’ve been a client of both kennels and Rover - I loved that Rover allowed my pets to maintain much of their daily routines and comforts and it's what I strive for with the care I provide. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, but I can't go too long without a little furry friend on my lap or in my arms, so I decided to try Rover in the summer of 2022. It has been one of the best decisions I've ever made - it's a perfect fit for me. I'm an active participant in pet siting communities, have taken relevant courses and have private pet sitters' insurance in addition to Rovers guarantee.

Safety, trust & environment
POLICIES: * I have been predominantly repeat only the past few years but will occasionally open my client list when beloved regulars move. For new clients, I require a meet and greet and prefer the first booking to be solo. It can be a trial overnight or a couple night stay. Scheduling wise it may not be feasible but I think this helps the pups become comfortable more quickly with me and it also allows me to learn about their personalities and all their fun little quirks. * I only do solo boarding for puppies under 6 months. * My “only dog” rate for dogs that need solo boarding is $85 per night and only available for non-holidays. * I have numerous dog beds, blankets, bowls, toys and two different style crates. I can accommodate your own dog beds, crates, pens, wee-wee pads, clothes, diapers, special diets, etc. * I do not go out for drop-ins or other dog walks, but I do go out for errands and activities so they should be comfortable being left home alone for 4 -5 hours on occasion. *I take up to two dogs. If you see that I am unavailable, please feel free to ask if I can overlap stays for a brief period. * I offer a $15 discount for an additional dog for boarding. The discount is applied to the regular rate as well as the holiday rate. Regular rate: 55/40 Holiday rate 65/50. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry family members!
A typical day
I'm a firm believer that all dogs require mental and physical stimulation- just to varying degrees! I’m most likely to bring your dogs on walks on the beautiful wooded paved trails but I’m also happy to bring your dog along to dog friendly places. I take dogs for walks at Lake Anne, Reston Town Center, Lake Fairfax Park and Great Falls National Park.
