I will treat your dog as if my own!
Pet care experience
Hi Friends, Thanks for taking a look at my profile and reviews. I have a passion for natural gift for caring for living things. I can be as active or gentle as a particular pup (or cat) needs and have a soft spot for animals in the later stages of life. I will be in tune with your canine friend during your absence and patient as we get to know each other through visits. I have one cat at home and only allow canines that live together to be boarded together in my home. Your pup will have as much privacy as he or she needs for a safe and calm environment. My home visits are not a breeze in and out long enough for a potty break and to pour out kibble. I believe in lots of affection and ample couch-time (only if couch is okay!), an exploratory run around the neighborhood, or whatever investment your pet needs. My own pets have been my children throughout the years, and I intend to give your animals the same love and care mine have received. I look forward to meeting you and them. A NOTE ON SCHEDULING: I am employed full-time at Duke University. My availability changes each semester along with my students' academic schedules. Each semester I identify and plan pockets of Rover time to make home visits, check on my boarding friends, take walks, etc. When I am boarding in my home or house sitting, I can usually make special arrangements for day visits. If you are willing to work with my ocassionally changing availability, I promise you will be satisfied with the care I provide for your loved ones. Please place a request to chat more! Spring Schedule: Monday ~1pm to 5pm Tuesday ~8am to 1pm & 3pm to 5pm Wednesday ~3pm to 5pm Thursday Open Friday Nada (unless boarding or house sitting) Saturday ~11am to 4 pm Sunday Nada (unless boarding or house sitting)

Leslie is wonderful! She took great care of my babies and home and kept me updated throughout her stay. I will absolutely be looking forward to booking her in the future. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing that my babies were in great hands! :) Thank you! :)
I am so glad to have found Leslie to watch my pup Harry. Leslie has watched Harry at our home twice and both times everything went smoothly, Harry was happy and the house was just as we left it. We got daily updates and pictures which helped us to feel relaxed while we were away. Most importantly, we can tell she loves our dog :)
My little Maltese is about 20 years old. He's a special handful, in the way that very old dogs are. I recently needed to be away for a few days, and was worried about leaving him with anyone. Leslie is a delight and both animals and people immediately take to her. Toto was well cared for and came home happy and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Toto with her again.
If ever there was a animal whisper it would be Leslie. There have been times I believe my animals love her more than me! I have a very "special" dog with special needs whom when around Leslie shows the spark she had before her dimenta set it. And my cats...Gertie is so in love with Leslie that when she comes over, Gertie immediately starts grooming her as if one of her own! Leslie has my full trust and I know my animals trust her!

Information Leslie W. would like to know about your pet
I'm open to hanging with all pups, sizes and breeds. It's important to know if animals are spayed and/or neutered and how they historically behave around other animals. No judgement here! This is only to know the best and most comfortable areas to exercise your pets. **If your dog has a history of busting out of crates, damaging property, or being particularly vocal when anxious, please just let me know on the front end so that we can plan for this and aim to keep him or her as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I love a stroll around my historic town of Hillsborough (or your neighborhood), and a vigorous hike in the woods. Ayr Mount Poet's Walk is a favorite haunt and great for a pup stroll. My back yard is around 1/4 acre with plenty of room to run, fetch, and exercise. My favorite dog may be the bed snuggler...you know the ones. I work on a small farm in Durham, so if a leashed walk taking in all the sights and smells is something your doggo would like, we can do that too. Whatever your pet enjoys and needs most, I will work to accommodate.
