I work from home a majority of the time. Occasionally I will go into the office for in-person meetings. For walks and playtime, I rarely have back-to-back calls for over 2 hours, so I am flexible with my schedule. For overnight stays, this includes a morning and evening walk. If additional walks or extended time is required I may ask charge my daily walk fee.

Information Lessie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything specific either health wise or behavior related that I should be aware of. All dogs are good dogs and some just need more attention in specific ways than others. I am happy to accommodate for quirks and special treatment, but need to be aware of any requests or cautions ahead of time.

A typical day

I love to do activities with pets that keep them active and mentally engaged, while keeping health and ability requirements in mind. I enjoy walking on trails and taking dogs (when they are accustomed to it) to parks. When I watch your pet, please let me know what their favorite toys are so I can keep them the happiest.

Pet care experience

Most recently, I was living overseas in the country of Georgia where there are many street dogs in need of care and homes. For the past two years I have worked with an organization in country to both raise funds, care for dogs (including dogs with behavioral or health issues), and have assisted in vaccinating, caring for wounded dogs, and finding new homes for those street dogs. I am back in the U.S. without my furever dog for now (she is still safe and happy with my husband overseas, we limit her time crossing the pond due to her age) and would love the opportunity to help you with your pets! I mostly work from home, but occasionally go into the office for a couple of hours at a time for in-person meetings. Since I was a young kid I have always loved caring for not only my own pets, but playing with and caring for other people's. In high school, I volunteered in a vet's office as a vet tech assistant. During college, my now husband and I got a rescue dog together and she has been able to travel the world with us. After college, I still had a passion for working with animals and continued to volunteer in vet offices and for volunteer organizations. I love all animals, not just dogs, so if there are other wild ones around, that is totally okay with me.

Just a truly incredible person to watch Ash. He immediately attached to her and I'm pretty sure he already misses seeing her. Leslie went above and beyond numerous times over the nearly 10 day span watching Ash, and I never once worried about him. I absolutely plan on using her as a cat sitter for as long as I'm in the area!

We went to Mexico for 7 days and were able to fully relax knowing that our only dog/child Teddy was in such great hands with Lessie. It was our first time being away from him that long - Lessie was communicative and shared great pics or videos every day. When we returned after a long day of travel she had already washed the bedding and changed the sheets so we didn't have to worry about it. I thought that was such a thoughtful gesture. Teddy clearly loved her being there with him. I will definitely hire Lessie again!

Lessie was great and provided great communication and pictures. Our pups were happy and well-walked. I highly recommend Lessie to anyone looking for a great dog Walker.
