There’s no words that can describe the amazing experience my dogs and I had using Heathers house sitting and dog walking services! My dogs used to go the kennel and would seem depressed and scared when getting them home. I came back after 4 days and the dogs acted like I just left. Apparently they didn’t need to miss me since they were showered with love and affection the entire time. Heather doesn’t mention it on her profile, but she sends you the most fantastic photos of your pet!! The photos you receive seem like you hired her specifically for glamor shots of your pets. I’m actually excited to take another vacation knowing that there’s an amazing soul like Heather that will care for your pets like they are her own!

Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!

Leslie provided exceptional care for our dogs! She was thorough with communications, messages, and picture updates for the 5 days we were away, she was very affectionate to our dogs, spent lots of time keeping our dogs and cat company, and kept good watch over our home. I would highly recommend Leslie for your pets, and we already plan to use her for another trip next month!

Sabrina was fantastic. She was thankfully available for a last minute house sitting with Franklin. He's a rescue so it can be tricky getting him used to folks. She had no problem getting him out for walks and hanging out with him. Truly appreciative!

Gavin dropped in on my pup who is post-surgery and needs to be kept quiet. She loved Gavin! He sent several photos and descriptive updates, which I always appreciate from sitters, and especially appreciated for this visit. We also have shy cats who came around to him. Will definitely book again!

Shari was better than great! First of all, she came to meet and greet the dogs two times to make sure they were comfortable before our trip. She did everything we asked while watching our two dogs. She has knowledge and experience with leash reactive dogs, which one of ours is. She was attentive and snuggly, which is what our dogs need. Sherry sent updates and pictures throughout each day we were gone. I would recommend her for your dog sitting needs any time!

This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!

About: Hi, I'm Lesley and lucky enough to have the ability to travel to where you live to take care of your animals and your home. I'm ready, willing, and able to help out with what you need and want for your animals. I have over two decades of experience in caring for pets -- grew up with 2 yellow labs. When I went off to college, it was the first time I experienced having the whole bed to myself. No hogging doggies.!! Since my 20s, I've had cats. Lately, I have taken care of dogs mostly -- all sizes and shapes from small Jack Russells to large pit bulls. Some with special needs and special diets and some super healthy and wanting a zillion walks. I've even taken care of a bunny (named Valentino who did tricks). No doubt about it: pets are our children and please be assured if your pets are in my care they will be well taken care of and well loved. And your home and rules respected. A bit about me: I worked as an office manager for tech startups in the Bay Area but recently decided to have more of a work-life balance and decided to travel for the past two years and pet sit at the same time -- combining both my loves. Now i am settled in Wilmington and ready to take care of your babies! I am now retired (how can that be!!) so I have flexibility and time to take care of pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I absolutely follow the rules of pet owners to ensure the safety of the animals I take care. If an emergency situation arises, I contact the owner(s) immediately. Communication is key.

Leslie was absolutely incredible while pet-sitting our dog, Bolt, for six days. I cannot recommend her highly enough—she truly deserves a stellar five-star rating. From the very beginning, Leslie was thorough, professional, and extremely attentive. Her communication was outstanding; she kept us constantly updated with detailed messages, along with plenty of photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every update how much care and affection she showed Bolt. She went above and beyond in every sense. Not only did she make sure all of Bolt’s needs were fully taken care of, but she also paid attention to the little things that make a big difference. On top of that, she kindly helped us by bringing in our mail and keeping an eye on the house, which we truly appreciated. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a smoothly run household. We would absolutely trust Leslie again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Heather is the best. No question about it. She is 100% about the animals and their individual needs. She plays with them, comforts them, takes them outside and spends time with them and is a perfectionist about their food and medication schedules. You can trust Heather to care for your animals like they were her own.

The house was in great condition when we came home, and Windsor was very happy! I would use Lane again in a heartbeat, but unfortunately for us, she is moving out of state! Best of luck in your new venture Lane.
