Love All Fur-Babies!

Trusted Animal Lover in Austin | Walks & Drop-Ins with Care **please note, I do charge a $20 fee if an initial meet and greet in your home is requested. About Me: Hi, I’m Leslie! I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and even horses. I currently live in Barton Skyway area with my tri-pawd orange tabby, Julian, and I know firsthand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. Whether your pup needs a mid-day walk or your cat needs some TLC while you’re away, I’m here to help with reliability, kindness, and real animal experience. I’m happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m also detail-oriented and great at following routines, administering medication, and keeping you updated with lots of photos and notes. I’d love to help your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes or playtime habits. I make sure water bowls are full, litter boxes are clean, and pets get plenty of attention and affection. I also send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident everything’s going smoothly.

House Sitting • Mar 24, 2026

Leslie house sat for us and was excellent. We have a very active dog and she made sure to carve out ample time for walks and fetch. She took great care of our house and will be sure to book with her again!

Leslie was great, and not just totally on top of it all, perfectly communicative and good with our pups, but warm and easygoing besides. Part of what made our trip so enjoyable was knowing Leslie was taking care of things and seeing her reports/photos three times a day when she walked and fed them. I was actually a little jealous of how happy our terrier looked lounging on our couch with her!

Schedule

I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, or in-home sitting, and I’m just a quick drive from most areas around Austin. I love breaking up my day with time outside and animal companionship — it’s truly the best part of my day.
