Leslie can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Availability

My work hours are Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. I do have evening activities some days but I always get back to take care of your pets right after work beforehand. I try to work with clients to make sure their pets are well taken care of. If pet owners are ok with this, I have had my niece come with her mom to let out the dogs in the middle of the afternoon if needed. If owners have a neighbor or friend who does this instead that is fine as well.

I make sure your pets are well taken care of, are eating and going to the bathroom. I send pictures as requested for additional security.

Information Leslie S. would like to know about your pet

Their schedule, allergies, how well they do with new people, if they take medicine, if they are prone to trying to escape, how often they need to go outside.

A typical day

I try to play with them with their toys, if possible, throw a ball around with them outside, go on walks, treats when applicable, and of course lots of pets and belly rubs.

Experienced and loving pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I have 10 years of experience working with animals and have a great love for them! My sister started a pet sitting business when she was younger and when she left for college I took over. I’ve worked with big and small dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and probably a few other animals. I will make sure your pets get lots of love and attention and will hopefully not even realize you’re gone. I always make sure to treat everyone’s home and animals with respect. You will always know your home is in safe hands with me. I will make sure your home stays clean. I also have a reliable car so no need to worry about that. I can’t wait to meet you and your adorable pets!

Our dog I needy haha, he gets meds 3 times per day, has special dietary concerns and other needs . None of this phased Leslie, she was totally cool with all of it and took great care of our Diesel. We are thankful we found her!

I cannot recommend Leslie enough for her dog/house sitting services. Our dogs have a lot of anxiety when boarded at the kennel so having someone stay in our home with them was a game changer for us. Leslie took amazing care of them and our home while we were away. I’ll admit our dogs can be a bit needy (they came with quite the instruction list) and Leslie never batted an eye. She checked in regularly and sent photos of our fur babies to make sure we knew they were well taken care of.

Leslie was amazing! She was willing to meet our quirky dog’s needs and accommodate her preferences, she took great care of our house, she sent pictures while we were away, and she was very easy to communicate with! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Leslie’s compassionate hands, and we highly recommend her as a sitter! We will definitely keep working with Leslie 😊

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.
