Safety, trust & environment

I speak with pet parents to understand what their pets' needs are and inform them what my experience level is and what my capabilities are. If we are a good fit for each other, we'll both agree to move forward with the care.

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 use to walking on a leash? Are they escape artist? Lol! Do they show food aggression? Are they potty trained? Are their vaccinations up to date? If I stay in your home while keeping your pet, will other people have access to your home? Also, please be transparent about any previous or current medical issues during our meet and greet or rebooking. Loading your dog's vet information/pictures, and answering the questions on Rover, makes it easier for me to understand your pet. I want your pet to have a fun, energetic, loving and peaceful experience with me and I would like to build a great relationship with you and your fur baby.

A typical day

Following the pet's regular routine with walks, playtime, and feeding, is what most of our day will consist of. With pet sitting combined with house sitting, I ask that pet parents please have their homes clean before my arrival. I will not clean a home that has been left extremely unclean and be expected to do an extensive deep home cleaning and provide pet care service. If you are going to be away from your home, I will be sure to clean up behind myself and your pet while providing the pet sitting and home sitting service. You'll come back to a clean home (as you left it), with a happy pet.

Leslie was very communicative and provided long walks for my dog, Agatha, over the holidays.

Leslie was ABSOLUTELY fantastic. She did a great job housesitting for Luna. Great communicator and sent tons of photos. Made me feel comfortable the whole time I was away. Would recommend her to anyone!

Leslie as always takes great care of Chewy, providing plenty of walks at his pace and always sending photo updates, and always respectful of your home during overnight stays. I always have peace of mind knowing my senior pet is in great hands while I’m away because of the high-quality care she provides, and her responsiveness.

She kept my house secure and was very polite and listening to instructions as well as communicating, she went above and beyond to take care of my boy. I appreciate all that she did and I will be booking her again. I will also recommend her great service to my friends and family. my whole family appreciates our service and my boy was looking for her even after she left. I could enjoy my vacation, thanks to her great service!
