Caring for your pet, your way
Pet care experience
Growing up, I wanted to be a veterinarian to help pets, but then I learned that chemistry and physics were not my best courses. However, my love for animals never changed. I have grown up with all different kinds of animals, and dogs and horses hold a special place in my heart. I have many years of experience caring for animals, pet sitting, farm sitting, and house sitting. While I do work full-time, I am blessed with having a job that is flexible so I can be available to meet your pet's needs. As your pet sitter, I will carefully follow your instructions, care for your pet the way that you want your pet to be cared for, and will provide as many updates as you would like. Policies: All dogs for boarding and/or daycare must be current on flea and tick prevention and must be current on vaccines. Coronavirus Policies: It is still business as usual for pet care services. With all the uncertainty of travel and fear surrounding the Coronavirus right now, I have worked to put some measures in place to try to make your life a bit easier and ensure the best care for your fur baby. 1. My cancellation policy will be flexible during this time. I understand that because of what is going on there may be last minute cancellations out of your control. Please let me know as soon as possible, and I will issue a full refund if your trip is cancelled because travel is not safe. All canceled trips will receive first priority when rescheduling your trip. 2. As a precaution if you are detained and cannot return home as planned, please provide me with your vet information before you leave, and please notify your vet that I will be caring for your pet. If your pet takes any medication, please ensure that a card is on file with the vet and that I have permission to pick up any medications or refills that are needed until you can make it back. I also ask that you bring additional dog food. If possible, setting up an account with Chewy so additional dog food can be delivered if needed would be the best option.
Reviews
Leslie was great. My Corgi Charlie had a great time playing with Leslie’s Patch. We will definitely reach out to her next time we have to go out of town.
Our dog loves staying with Leslie! We keep him busy here running around with our kids and chickens, but he is just as happy and tired after visiting with her and her wonderful dog. 5 stars isn’t high enough for our recommendation!
We've had a wonderful experience with Leslie over the course of the four years we've used Rover. This time she cared for our 14 year old husky and 3 year old lab, and her care of them were obvious in how relaxed and happy they were coming home. As important, Leslie was sensitive to our schedules and clear about her own, and she offers herself to the larger community in other services. She never ceases to amaze me and your dogs will be lucky to be in her care.
Leslie is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and tidy when she stays overnight with our animals. She gives us plenty of updates when we're gone. And I know she treats them well because the dogs lose their minds with joy when they see her. We've been relying on her for our (frequent) trips for years! Thank you, Leslie!!
