Pet care experience
I have more than thirty years' experience owning and handling dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have extensive experience with sled dog kennels, equines and some experience with exotics. The more the merrier - if you have a multi-dog household, please be sure to check out my discounted rates. Life is more fun with more than one! About Me: I am lucky to have a wealth of experience with dogs, having owned pet dogs (and horses) since I can remember. My work as a vet tech through my teens exposed me to a wide variety of breeds and personalities; after University, I began participating in dog foster and rescue and was selected to serve on the Board of Directors of a local rescue organization. I am now a recovering musher, and as a result, have at times taken on house/kennel sitting gigs with more than 30 Alaskan Huskies! I have also managed to sneak in a rather sizable amount of experience with livestock guardian dogs and dogs exhibiting natural protection behaviors. If you have a dog with special medical care needs, I'm American Red Cross Certified in First Aid for Cats and Dogs. I have many years of work experience in the medical field, with a strong stomach and a keen eye for detail. I am comfortable with large and giant breed dogs, shy dogs, "problem dogs", multiple dog households and the complex social dynamics therein, and dogs with special medical needs. If you think I can help you, please reach out and let's see what I can do for you and your furry family!
Reviews
Leslie comes to my house weekly while I'm at work and checks in on my dogs. She is the only person I trust for this. She is dependable, observant, flexible, very clearly a "dog person," and provides timely, meaningful updates with how they are doing. She also takes amazing photos and sends a lot of them! I can go to work and have peace of mind that my boys are being looked after and happy. It's really difficult to initially trust someone you don't know to take care of your babies and come into your home; Leslie has been a life-changer and I'm so grateful she's in our lives!!
Leslie M. was fantastic and I would gladly recommend her to anybody out there looking for someone to take care of/love their pets.
Leslie is amazing! She’s been doing drop-in visits for our puppy. She gets our puppy outside and out to play with her fur-brothers. She gives us such peace of mind knowing our dogs have reliable company during the day.
Not often do those individuals who offer pet care services actually have the appropriate knowledge as well as the level of caring needed to care for our much loved animals that expert care is rarely paired with responsible trustworthy ethics. In Leslie you have the full package.....expert knowledge combined with a nurturing heart that will responsibly care for your babies as if they were her own. I am a long time trainer of many breeds, disciplines as well as a veterinary surgical tech who understands well the full scope of what it takes to properly care for animals in the owners absence. Give Leslie a call, you won’t be sorry.
