Dogs Know I'm A Good Soul

*Rover Affiliate since Sept 2014* Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I feel I have a calm presence about me and my home reflects that, however, fun is to be had here! Bring toys and treats. We will go on walks, play, and maybe stop at a dog friendly cafe. I especially like trail walking at a park or going to the dog beach. I mostly work from home and can provide paid extras like dog bathing and nail dremmel care. I only board dogs from one owner at a time, so all my attention goes to your furbabies. Safety is a big concern. No need to worry about fights with other dogs, transmissable viruses, or having small children around. If your dog can not be around ANY other pets in public, that's ok too. I'm also very attentive when it comes to dispensing daily medication. A little about me: As a small child, I grew up with a German shepherd named Yenta. As a pre teen, after asking many times, we welcomed a mixed shepherd/husky into our family. I mulled over names for such a long time - Bandit because I had a cat named Smokey- somehow we all agreed on the name "Ralphy"...funny! I have not owned a dog, aside from when I lived with my family growing up. I don't feel that I can make that commitment just yet. I believe most dogs should be outdoors often and run off their endless energy. Lap dogs or elder dogs have different priorities, of course. I have a natural affection towards animals. Partnering with Rover allows me to enjoy your dogs but not have the commitment of having one. Big, small, come one, come all! My world does not just revolve around dogs! I also enjoyed having cats around my childhood home. They certainly are uniquely different from dogs. I cared for eight cats for a few months in a big, old home in Philadelphia in 2014. It was interesting to observe them interacting together, as they are not "pack animals." About this sitter: I'm an animal lover and enjoy being out in nature…so that means your dog WILL get walked a lot. I'm a responsible person that has your dog's best interest always in mind. Why I love dog sitting: I enjoy having different breeds of dogs visit me and giving them a home away from home. They very often become my protector within the first day. You the pet parent may be going on vacation, but they will certainly have one too! They really are like people with their different personalities and habits. Since I am not a dog owner, it's a blessing to be trusted to enjoy their love and company. Thank you

Leslie is a phenomenal dog sitter and provided top notch care and exercise for our two dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience while we were out of town and look forward to working with her more in the future!

Schedule

I'm self employed and spend lots of time at home or in the community. I worked over a year at a dog wellness/grooming business where I interacted with all breeds and behaviors. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can put your fur baby first. I love to be out and about, so that means your dog gets to come too!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the client's home instructions to a tee. The safety, care, and well being of your fur baby is top priority. Maybeck Veterinary is one mile from my home and Animal Specialty & Emergency Center of Brevard operates 24 hrs and is three miles from my home. Xx xx xx

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Bring toys and treats! I live in a walking friendly neighborhood and take several routes. I often walk in Wickham Park, Max Rodes Park, the beaches, or Melbourne Village...always walk minimum of 20-30 minutes unless your dog is not able to. Your dog has full reign over this spacious home and they all enjoy sleeping in my room. The side yard is fenced and I also have long leeds for the larger portion of the property. There is also a screened porch area your pets can spend time in.

I would like to know how the owner interacts with their dog and what the dogs needs to feel comfortable and relaxed. Are their any special needs? Special care? What are specifics about the dog's personality?
