Leah is a total pro. She was amazing with our dog while we were away; she gave her so much love and attention. She was super friendly and communicative with us and incredibly mindful and respectful of our preferences and anxieties. Best dog-sitter we’ve had; we trusted her immediately and were not wrong to. I cannot recommend Leah enough.

Leah did an amazing job dog sitting for our two dogs at our house. She communicated with us very well and sent lots of updates and pics. Our house was left very clean and our dogs were so happy with her! She was very kind and flexible when our return flight was delayed. We will be happy to hire Leah again :)

Leah was our first pet sitter. She stayed with our 110lb Lab-Dane, Malachi, for a week while we were at the beach. It really helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Malachi was so happy and safe. So professional and on top of things! Daily updates with photos and videos (Malachi looked delighted), walks and play time, meds and supplements, even massages and pool time. Leah handled it all. Honestly, we joked that Malachi was having such a good time with Leah that he would be disappointed when we came home 😉. Thanks again, Leah! We will see you soon ❤️

Leah was really great with Jasper and her pup Oliver was the best host! Jasper looks so happy when he's with them and after he leaves. Leah always makes sure to send numerous photos and updates so that we never have to worry. Thank you for taking good care of our baby!

Leah took the best care of our 3 year old aussie, Bear. We have only left him with a sitter once before and are very cautious and nervous, but Leah sent us tons of pictures and updates so we knew he was having the best time! We are so grateful that she was so communicative and accommodating with drop off / pick up times as well as our special requests (supplements, etc). We will definitely use Leah again and would highly recommend her to anyone!

My pup had a wonderful intro session with Leah and Ollie! Ollie is a big sweetheart who was so gentle with my tiny chihuaha mix pup - she was definitely scared of him at first, but she became more confident and interested in him over the course of the session, which I'm so excited to see! Ollie is a perfect big dog to help your tiny pup get used to large dogs. Leah was so kind and gentle with her as well. Can't wait to have more sessions, and would absolutely recommend Leah's services for puppy socialization!

Leah is such a great sitter! My pup is pretty nervous around other dogs but Leah and Oliver made her feel right at home. Leah was nice enough to put a stream on so I could see Olive interacting with Oliver and it was very reassuring to me as an owner of an anxious and shy dog! Thanks again for looking after Olive for us and we look forward to setting up another play session for Olive and Oliver! :)

We brought our American Eskimo Ollie to two puppy play date sessions. The first 1:1 session was with her golden doodle Oliver. The second one was with ~4 more puppies. Our puppy has had separation anxiety due to COVID-19 and his first visit to a dog park he was attacked by a teacup poodle. We thought it would be good to try having a dog sitting session with a more experienced dog sitter and her dog to get over his social anxiety and fear. We have taken him to several dog parks after and slowly introduced them to other smaller puppies and we have had no issues with aggression. During the first session. Ollie was staying by door the entire for full hour. Leah tried to engage the dog in play and seemed frustrated that he would not correct his behavior. She recommended taking him to a second session with more puppies if her behavior changes. The second session Ollie was very fearful over the stream while playing with the other puppies and engaged in growling and aggressive behavior ~45 minutes into session. Leah tried to explain that he did not know how to play, etc. We have seen him play with other puppies(3+) off leash and he has played perfectly fine. He then proceeded to go to Leah for comfort and was then greeted by the phrase. If you keep doing this shit I won’t cuddle you. (Something along those lines). This was our experience. If your puppy actually had separation anxiety or has had a problem with puppy socialization we do not believe this is the right environment.

Leah is always an amazing sitter for Daigo, and these were the first couple of times he had been with any sitter for longer than an hour. Leah kept me updated and took great pictures, plus communicated any good progress like going up and down stairs. I would highly recommend Leah for any dog owners needing a sitter!

I had Leah do puppy play training with my 5-month old dachshund and her dog, Ollie. Leah was so patient and encouraging to get Bear out of his shell and he ended up having a great time even though he’s been timid with other dogs so far. We’ll be back again soon!

Leah has been SO instrumental in socializing our puppy Winston. After just one session with her, his attitude towards other dogs around our complex and at the park completely changed. He’s no longer afraid, but instead is super outgoing, and he loves big dogs because I’m sure they remind him of his pal Ollie. I would leave Winston with Leah anytime- she is literally one of the only people I fully trust with him. She loves dogs, is so sweet to our pup and has been a great sounding board for us as we navigate raising a puppy during these times!

Leah is great with dogs and you can tell she has a genuine passion and love for all dogs. We started socializing our pup with Oliver and other puppies during LJ Puppy Play and the experiences has been awesome! Glad to have found a way to socialize my dog during these strange times. Would definitely recommend Leah and her services.

Leah is amazing with our mini schnauzer/bichon puppy, and Ollie is such a gentleman. For our puppy socialization times, she has also streamed their interactions while explaining reasons for why puppies portray certain behaviours and what her strategies are to correct them in a positive and gentle way. I trust her with our dog, Daigo and he looks forward to every play session with her and Ollie!
