Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Tech Student & Pet Lover
I’m currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have spent my entire life caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and sizes, from tiny kittens to large-breed and reactive dogs. I’ve also been fostering since 2020, so I’m especially comfortable with kitten care and animals who may need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’m familiar with caring for animals in different stages of life and always make it a priority to follow their routines and make them feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. What sets me apart is that I’m both genuinely experienced and very reliable. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your animals with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll care for your pets in their own home, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, and other specific routines. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and understand the importance of following instructions and timing carefully. I’ll also keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual or concerning. Most importantly, I’ll respect your home, your pet’s routine, and any guidelines you leave for me. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care and make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
Ratings and reviews
Leslie was great with house sitting and looking after my elder dog. She was responsive and assured us that our dog was well taken care of. She left the house very clean and tidy before she left. Will be looking to book her again for our next dog sitting needs!
Leslie was so amazing with both of our dogs! She sent awesome photos and updates. She even took great care of our house (washing the sheets and towel before she left, bringing in packages, etc.)
I've known Leslie for over 20 years, and her love of animals has always been a part of who she is! Leslie has a tremendous heart and she treats every animal that she encounters with so much love and care. Along with her huge love of animals, Leslie is also incredibly responsible and dependable. I can't think of anyone who I would trust more with my fur babies!
Leslie is a wonderful and caring person who I trust completely with my pets. She has cared for my senior dog, Baxter, and my adult cat, Chaton, multiple times while I was away on vacation. Leslie is very sweet, responsible, and attentive, and she knows how to handle every situation professionally. Most importantly, she truly loves animals and treats them like her own with patience and affection. I can relax and enjoy my time away from home knowing my pets are in her care. I highly recommend her!

Schedule
I’m currently in school, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to give pets the time and attention they need rather than trying to fit visits into a busy work schedule. Starting in October, I’ll have classes Monday–Friday from 8am–12pm. I’ll still be available for afternoons, evenings, nights, and weekends, with plenty of flexibility around my class schedule. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability.

- Please let me know about any special needs, medical needs, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. It’s also helpful to know how they do with people and other dogs, their typical activity level, how long they’re comfortable being left alone, and anything else that helps me understand their routine and personality!
