Pet care experience
Teacher & Trusted Pet Sitter
Hi! I’m a teacher with eight years of experience and a passion for caring for animals. My career has taught me patience, responsibility, reliability, and the importance of building trust—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I have experience house sitting for a variety of dogs, including energetic puppies, medically needy dogs who require medications or special care, and dogs with typical daily routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their needs, routines, and personalities to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When your dog is in my care, they will be treated like family. Whether they need extra attention, playtime, walks, medication administration, or simply a cozy companion, I am committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos for added peace of mind. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while ensuring your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and individualized care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Leslie was an amazing dog walker to my timid pup! She was reliable, attentive and made my days away from my pup care free. I would book her anytime!

Leslie took great care of Nora and sent lots of pictures! Nora seemed to have a great time
Leslie is an excellent, expert pet caregiver, she has many years of experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including her own. She has been one of my most trusted caretakers for my dog, a rather high-maintenance yellow lab, and often my go-to for pet care when I am out of town for weekends or extended week or multi-week vacations. Leslie has been caring for my dog for the past five years, since my dog was only a several month-old puppy. I trust Leslie with a dog of any age but I have seen her provide exceptionally special care for senior dogs. Leslie can provide care for multiple pets/dogs at one time, she is able to manage care for dogs with different needs, like my highly energetic pup and aging senior dogs, giving them all the love and attention they need. I cannot recommend Leslie highly enough, whether that is checking-in or a walk during the day while you're away or longer care while you're out of town.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine, especially during the summer when I have open availability as a teacher. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling and spend more quality time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship throughout the day, I can provide the attention and consistency they deserve. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I make it a priority to follow their normal schedule while giving them plenty of love, affection, and individualized care. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also follow any specific instructions regarding medications, feeding schedules, or special needs to ensure consistency while their owners are away. During walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise while paying close attention to each dog’s energy level and personality. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I’ll make sure they get the physical activity and enrichment they need. While I live in an apartment near several parks and can accommodate pets in my home when needed, my primary focus is providing reliable drop-in visits and walks in your pet’s familiar environment. I believe many pets are happiest staying in their own home and maintaining their regular routine, and I’m committed to giving them loving, attentive care every visit.
