Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving home away from home 🐾
I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Leslie is an exceptional dog lover and caregiver! She has helped me care for dozens of dogs through my own Rover business over the years, so I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand just how caring, conscientious, reliable, and loving she is with dogs. Leslie is one of the most intuitive and attuned people I’ve ever met, and that absolutely extends to her relationships with four-legged friends. She has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs, understand their individual personalities and needs, and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I would trust Leslie completely with my own dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter. If you have the opportunity to book her, run—don’t walk—to reserve her! She is truly the real deal.
Leslie is an amazing person and petsitter whom I first got to know as a neighbor and a friend, so when our usual petsitter had to cancel on us, I knew our kitty would be in great hands. When she came over for a meet-and-greet, our cat was instantly lovey-dovey with her, which gave us great peace of mind. Leslie has been a catsitter for us at least 6 or more times, and every time we come back to a very happy cat who doesn't appear to have missed us at all. Leslie is a sweet, gentle, reliable and responsible human. Do not hesitate to hire her to hang with your furry friend(s).
Your pets will love Leslie! Look no further, she is a *diamond*. Leslie Hammer is an uncommonly kind and responsible pet sitter—she has cared for my two senior kitties many times, managing their (extensive) medication regimen, keeping in contact with me, leaving the house spotless, and generally giving the house and the cats a lot of love and care. I wouldn’t hire anyone else.

Schedule
I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
A typical day
For dogs who are happy to travel, I'll take them on a walk at Cesar Chavez park, a doggie haven. At home we can play and snuggle on the couch.
