Hi! I'm Leslie, and I have been pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for about fifteen years. Hiring the right dog walker can make a world of difference. I can help train your dog to walk on a leash or harness and will always use consistent commands and the routine your pup needs to feel safe and happy. If the weather makes it unsafe or unpleasant for an actual walk, we can skip the walk and have 30 minutes of playtime instead. I will always focus on what is best for your pet. Hiring someone like me to care for your pup while you're at work is one of the best ways to ensure their happiness. Going on vacation? I love animals and can care for yours, whether they're super chill and low-key, kind of old and need meds administered, or have above-average energy levels and need lots of playtime. I'm great with cats and dogs, young and old. Your dogs will be so much happier and comfier hanging out in my house than in a crate in a boarding facility, and I'll be around to play with them and give them all the loves and attention they need and deserve. I even have a dedicated Pet Room in my house in which pets can be isolated from the other animals if need be. This is perfect for cats or for dogs who are anxious, reactive, or shy. Pets kept isolated will get equal amounts of human time, via frequent check-ins and play sessions -- they just won't have to worry about my pets or other guest pets. I can also come and stay at your house while you're away! This will ensure your pets' routine isn't disrupted, while also giving you an extra layer of security while you're away.
