About: Hi, I’m Leanne! Dogs have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from growing up with family pets and fostering for a local rescue to caring for my own beloved Goldendoodle, Remi. She was with me for 10 wonderful years and taught me what it truly means to care for a dog like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your dog- not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for companionship, affection, and consistent care. I treat every dog I look after as if they were my own, offering patience, attention, exercise, and support for any medical needs. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in your home where your dog feels most relaxed, I’m here to help keep their routine smooth and stress-free. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions or just want to connect before booking, I’d be happy to chat. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon. My schedule is flexible and I never leave the dog unattended for long periods of time if I’m dog sitting for extended periods of time. I care for each pet as if they were my own, always staying mindful of their unique needs, sensitivities, and any triggers they may have at home, outside, or around others.

“Ellie is one of the most responsible, organized and compassionate people I have ever known. And she absolutely LOVES dogs! She and her husband have two of their own and are on the verge of adopting a Saint Bernard they've been fostering through a rescue organization. They bought a home in Colorado Springs in lieu of renting, in part, because they wanted to more easily expand their "fur family." She is seeking part-time employment so that she can devote the hours necessary to successfully complete her Masters in Social Work. She is an amazing human with a great big heart for all animals, especially those of the canine variety.”

Meredith B.
“Meredith has watched my dog, Sadie many times and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet caregiver. Sadie is always so excited to see her and feels very comfortable with her. Normally, Sadie is very shy and gets nervous with new people, but she warmed up very quickly to Meredith. She treats my dog like her own and takes great care of her, so I would recommend Meredith.”
Summer P.
“Summer was a great pet sitter. She is caring and takes pride in what she does. Takes great care of my dog and I would definitely use her again for pet sitting and recommend her to others.”
Hannah B.
“She was very easy to communicate with and set up time to come meet by dog before setting up a firm appointment. I have a miniature dashhound who doesn’t do well out of his normal routing and this was the first time someone he didn’t know took care of him. She was willing to drive out of her way to come and stay so he could be in an environment he knew and was very sweet and patient with him, giving him a lot of love and attention. She stayed in contact with me the entire time I was gone and said he did a very good job with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend!”
Madison D.
“Timely. Loves dogs. My dog loves her. Flexible.”
Johanna S.
“My little Daisy loves going to stay at Johanna’s house. Johanna is very loving animal person. She is in tune to Daisy’s needs. Daisy is a bit needy. Johanna gives her time and lots of love. Daisy loves to spend time with her friends Ember,ash and Bella. I know Daisy is well cared for when I drop her off at Johanna’s house.”
Leanne N.
“Leanne's love for dogs is like none other! Anything involving a dog has her name all over it whether its going to the dog park, on a walk, throwing the ball, or just lounging around together. Sometimes I am pretty sure my five year old lab mix likes her more than me. He loves when he gets to see Leanne! She is an excellent dog owner and dog caregiver. I don't trust anymore more than her with my precious pup.”
Tyler C.
“Great communication and wonderful with my Caddie. A big help for me while visiting Wintergreen for the weekend. I will certainly ask Tyler to help again when I return.”
