Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully evaluate the interactions between your dog and the others ensuring that your dog will only interact with compatible friends. Your dog will be positively stimulated with a homelike environment that includes unrestricted access in the house to play with toys and chew on bones and many trips throughout the day to the large fenced in backyard to look for lizards, sniff around and socialize with the others.

Information Leslie M. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate your dog’s schedule and individual personality. Just like people, one size does not fit all dogs. I believe that it is important to understand your dog’s routine, likes and dislikes so that your dog is comfortable and happy while in my care. Since I do accept up to four dogs at a time in my home, it is not suitable for aggressive doggies, doggies that have not been socialized or doggies that suffer from separation anxiety.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy playing in the fully fenced backyard. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood that is perfect for nice walks for fun and exercise.

Pet care experience

Loving my own and doggie friends for many years. I provide a safe, fun environment for your dog and peace of mind that your fury friend will be treated like one of the family while you are away. I enjoy a special bond with each of my doggie friends with long term relationships developed from repeat clients who entrust me with their care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me time to properly care for your dog. I do not have a significant other or young children at home so I have the time to fully concentrate on your dog’s needs without outside distractions. I have a large, private, safe, shaded, fully fenced backyard that our pug Patrick absolutely loves. Patrick thoroughly enjoys the company of other dogs and people. He is very social and welcomes the opportunity to play with other dogs.

I am so grateful to all that Leslie has done for my dog Sammi. She is a wonderful caregiver, very kind and warm and Sammi absolutely adores her. The peace of mind that Leslie has given me while I am traveling is completely priceless. I highly recommend her.

Highly recommended! The care provided for Molly and Trudy during their 10-day stay was exceptional. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire period, with frequent updates and many wonderful pictures. The patience shown in handling their fussy eating habits was greatly appreciated and ensured there was never a moment of worry.This service is highly reliable and worth booking again for anyone needing attentive care for their pets.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
