About: Hi, I'm Leslie! This is my alternative option since my husband refused to allow me and adopt another fur baby 😅. I've had dogs my entire life. From the time I was a toddler, dogs have been a constant and beloved presence in my world. Growing up, my family always had at least one furry friend, and caring for them became second nature to me. I’ve owned dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and responsibility. My daily routine includes long, enjoyable walks, playful training sessions, and careful grooming to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I understand the importance of personalized care and make sure to tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs and personality. My home is filled with love and laughter, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I genuinely love dogs and find immense joy in their companionship. If you’re looking for a reliable, passionate, and experienced dog sitter, I’d be thrilled to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. MEET AND GREET REQUIRED Dogs MUST be vaccinated. I’m an elementary teacher who is off in the summer and looking to keep myself occupied during this long break at home. I’m home all day basically unless I run to the store. I live in a house with a big back yard where your fur babies can run around and enjoy nature! We will always have someone out there as well to make sure everything is okay.

“Love having Skylar watch our girls! She’s so reliable and communicative, and I’m always grateful she can help out last minute. Will be a return customer many more times!”


“Jamie checked in our pets while we were gone for the weekend. She was a life saver when our original plans fell through. She is very punctual, and she sent us videos during her visits. We will definitely her again!”

About: I've owned pets my entire life. I've cared for all of my pets through senior ages, including managing many variations of care/medications, with compassion. I'm looking forward to helping care for others pets since I no longer have one of my own.

“Miki was fabulous! One of my kitties can be a bit cantankerous at times. I was nervous having someone come when I'm not home to check in on him . Upon her meeting him at the meet and greet, I felt totally comfortable. She took to him and he took to her. I warned her about his nature and made sure to ask if she was comfortable checking in on him during my vacation. Come to find out, she has a kitty with some of the same personality traits so she's familiar with handling him. While I was gone, she sent lots of pictures brushing and playing with him. I know he was happy to have her come to see him. She gave updates daily on her interactions with him. I was so grateful to have had her come look in on my babies.”

Madeline K.
“Madeline has always been reliable. She is helpful, organized, and a true empath. She has a very nurturing spirit and I think that’s a characteristic needed to care for others and their pets. And when she gets a job she is very dedicated and barely misses a day. I’ve known her for a while and she’s always been a pet person so I think dog sitting is a great job for her.”

Audrianna did a great job with my golden retriever, Remi! I booked her on short notice and Audrianna was very accommodating. Audrianna even took the time to brush my dog and vacuum up my apartment before the end of the booking. Audrianna did a good job of communicating with me throughout the stay, and she was very easy to work with. Would book with Audrianna again in the future. ☺️

Jill is awesome, been using her for years! Book early. She has been great help with my new older foster! She is going above and beyond to help out! She is so caring, so patient and VERY reliable! I haven’t always had that on rover… I just can’t say enough good things about her! ⭐️🤩⭐️
