Expect The Best, Get The Best!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a variety of pets, so I enjoy having them around. Also, I volunteered on and off for 2+ years with the AHS. This gave me an opportunity to work with different dog breeds and learn more about their temperaments and body language. Discounts offered for new clients.

Leslie is such an awesome sitter. I have travel for several work trips and not only is her availability fantastic, she is a thorough communicator and my senior dog always seemed at ease and happy upon pick up. I highly recommended her.

The Real Very Important Pup treatment! Leslie took excellent care of my girl Roxie. From long walks to baths to cuddles.. She went above and beyond to see to my dog’s every need. This is the longest I have left my dog (was traveling for an international trip), and Leslie put me at ease with her excellent communication and picture updates. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an experienced sitter.

Leslie is excellent and our little guy is always sad to leave. She is amazing and sends many great pictures with updates. She really makes your pet feel special!

Leslie sent plenty of photos of my dog while I was out of town. She was super responsive to messages and has a schedule that my dog is accustomed to. She did a great job tuckering my dog out with long walks. My dog even put up a bit of a fuss when I went to pick him up, which is how I know I'd definitely book again!

Information Leslie V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has severe separation anxiety or shows aggression towards other dogs/people/cats? Are they used to walking on a leash? Are they used to being bathed/groomed? Have other sitters expressed concern about them trying to escape? Do they show food aggression? Is there excessive humping or barking? Is your pet use to using training pads to potty or do they potty on the floor? Sometimes I board numerous pets together, and your pet being properly socialized prior to the stay, is very important. Lack of transparency or honesty could put your pet, as well as other pets at risk. Also, please be transparent about any previous or current medical issues during our Meet & Greet. Even though I have extra dog food and toys, please bring your dog's food and whatever toys or bedding your pet will need to make them feel comfortable. Loading your dog's vet information/pictures, and answering the questions on Rover, makes things a easier for me. I want your pet to have a fun, energetic, loving and peaceful experience.

A typical day

We go for long and short walks to keep them stimulated and exercised. Also, we take different routes so they can get use to the area and know how to get back to my home. We play fetch and tug-of-war and they seem to really enjoy the treat puzzle games. I do not take the dogs in my care to dog parks for safety reasons.
