Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Reliable and Caring!
I have had a variety of pets my entire life and for the past 15 years, my family and I have been fostering and rescuing dogs. I have volunteered at shelters, I have done some pet sitting, worked at a vet and we have a zoo of our own (small dogs, a bearded dragon, a mouse, and a fish). So as you can imagine, I have cared for quite a variety of breeds, ages, needs and personalities! I am comfortable with a wide range of behaviors and needs. I am reliable, patient, and of course, very dedicated to the care and well-being of animals. I know it's not always easy trusting someone to care for your pets, so I will strive to provide you with peace of mind by giving the best care possible for your pets. My husband and I telework, so there is always someone home. Because I work during the day, I am more suitable for drop in visits or walks during the evenings and weekends, or boarding in my home any time. I love to go for walks and hikes or just hang out. We have a large, fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks throughout the day. I am very flexible in terms of your comfort level and your dog's needs for exercise (short/long walks, hikes, etc). Depending on personalities, we have dogs here that your dog can interact with and play with, or we can keep everyone separate! Again, we're very flexible and just want to give your dog a safe, caring environment.

Ratings and reviews
Leslie and James are the best. They really seem to enjoy our dog and send pictures and videos of her having a good time with the other dogs. I was a little worried she might not want to come home.
My experience with Rover has been easy and covinient! Love that! But my experience with Leslie and James has been awesome! I was very hesitant about leaving my fur baby with anyone else, ( first time ever 😟) but I had to leave the country for a family affair so I set up a meet and greet with Leslie and James, their response was fast and accommodating, they seemed nice and experienced but they were not just that... they were actually loving and playful with him! I received many updates and pictures while I was away and my worried heart was filled with peace because Miko seemed to be very happy comfortable, joyful, well taken cared for and apparently in love with James who was very patient when Miko decided to glue himself to him! Haha When I picked him up he seemed excited to see me but very relaxed and happy, I know he had a lot of fun, that is best than just taken cared for and I couldn't be more grateful, we will definetely come back! 😊 💯
Great communication and my dogs had a great time!
Leslie and James are both so kind and patient with my little bug, who is arguably quite the special needs case. It’s can be hard to find a sitter that feels comfortable with her being blind and needing seizure management, so I am beyond grateful for them!!
James and Leslie are great. I’ve been leaving my newly adopted dog with them once a week and he’s become calm around other dogs and people. He’s also playing well with other dogs and comes home tired and happy. Very glad I found them!
Leslie and James were great at taking care of my dog. Keep me updated with pictures and videos of my dog; they fed him as indicated and finally, they give back all his things clean. Thank you both.

Schedule
We telework, so someone is always home to keep pups company and give frequent potty breaks. We like to go for walks in the evenings and on the weekends! For care in the client's home, we are generally available during weekends and then evenings during the week due to our regular work schedules.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large, secure backyard, but any time spent outside is supervised. We are very flexible with care inside our home and will do whatever the client prefers in terms of crating and sleeping. We generally do not crate unless it is specifically requested.
