Hi, I’m Leslie! Owner of Leslie’s Critter Care. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently pursuing my degree in Social Work, where I've developed a deep appreciation for building trust, showing compassion, and meeting the unique needs of every individual. Those same values inspire the compassionate, personalized care I provide for every pet and every family I have the privilege of serving. At home, I'm a proud dog mom to three Australian Shepherds, Misty, Voodoo, and Sadie. They each have their own unique personalities, and they remind me every day why our pets deserve to be loved, understood, and cared for like family. They are the heart behind Leslie's Critter Care, and the inspiration for everything I do. With more than six years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and anxious dogs, I'm comfortable adapting my care to meet each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a slower pace, or an anxious pup who just needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe great pet care starts with trust, communication, and treating every pet as if they were part of my own family. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands.

In my home my dogs are let out several times a day. I have a fenced yard for them to run around and play in! I have lots of toys and a variety of treats to offer. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs. I can provide lots of one on one time and love.

Pets

A typical day

I love to give dogs both physical and mental stimulation. They can be walked around the neighborhood. They'll have lots of toys and treats to play with. We'll play lots of games and they'll be able to nap on furniture so they can be extra comfy.

Please let me know what your dogs needs are so I can accommodate them to the best of my ability. I'd like to know their temperament, energy levels, routines, favorite toys/treats, if they're crate trained, any separation anxiety, food aggression, etc.
