Experienced Veterinary Professional

Pet care experience

Want your pet to feel like they've never left home ? Then you have stopped at the right profile ! My name is Leslie and I have been working with animals and caring for animals all my life. I have had several family pets of my own over the years, but I've also volunteered with local animal shelters like the VBSPCA and have experience working in veterinary medicine as a Receptionist / Veterinary Assistant for 3+ years. I love all animals and getting to interact with different ones all day. Consider this profile a family affair as my family will all take a part caring for your fur baby. My daughter especially who has grown up with me pet sitting for years and loves hanging out at the house, snuggling with them on the couch or going for long adventurous walks around the neighborhood as much as I do. Any questions feel free to shoot me a message (: I am very flexible and hope to help in any way possible, so your pets feel like you never left. I try to plan events/life around my pet sitting bookings as much as possible and I take my own puppy anywhere I can that I know he would be comfortable and I would do the same with any booking I have as well. Last minute plans , long trips early/late drop offs or pick ups ? I can accomadate that ! I take pet care very seriously because just like other people, pets are an extension of someones family that they have decided to trust you with caring for. I monitor any animals in my care closely and try to send frequent updates and pictures. With that being said I typically pet sit for one family at a time, only close my availaibility when fully booked and request at least 3 days notice for cancellation to attempt to offer availibility for others who may need quality care. Thanks for understanding and hope to hear from you !

She's basically family now. Always takes great care of "our" pup. 😊

Leslie was great! My dog needed to take medications and was recovering from a recent spine surgery during her stay and Leslie did great with her "special needs". She was also super flexible which I appreciated! Definitely will be using Leslie again.

A loving family that our dog Chase felt at home with. They took care of him as one of their own and had extremely friendly cats that Chase was used to.

Leslie did a nice job caring for our little bean. With prompting, she kept us informed on how he was doing and sent pics. She said he fit right into the family and I'd be happy to utilize her services again.

Information Leslie W. would like to know about your pet

What are their favorite activities or places to sleep. Do they have any favorite treats and if they have any triggers (small animals, cars, submissive urination etc.) or can be aggressive? Are they good with young children as well?

A typical day

Some fun activities I enjoy are going anywhere around the neighborhood or dog park nearby. There are a couple hidden trails by my house as well that are fun to walk. Playing fetch or tag is also a fun activity to do at home. Some dogs that are more laid back are more then welcome to snuggle up on the couch.
