Safety, trust & environment

🐷 Fun Fact: I became vegetarian at age 3 after watching Charlotte’s Web and wondering why anyone would want to eat Wilbur. I’ve been vegan since 2011... my love for animals runs deep and lifelong.

Information Leah H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the basic info such as medication, behavioral issues, if there's any training you’re working on with the dog(s). I had a neck injury so I prefer sitting for small/medium size dogs that don’t pull much. Please let me know if your dog pulls or lunges often.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning walks, playtime at the park, or some fun fetch games. I love to give lots of cuddles and attention throughout the day. With my car, I can easily take pets to fun spots or provide extra activities. For cats, I offer playtime, cuddles, and ensure their litter box is clean. I also ensure they’re fed, comfortable, and entertained with toys or a cozy spot for rest.

Reliable care from a fellow cat mom

Cat care experience

I am calm person so cats tend to warm up to me quickly. With over 30 years of living with cats and 3 years owning them myself, I know how to read their body language, respect their space, and build trust over time. Whether you have a social cat or a shy cat, I move at their pace and adjust my care to their comfort level. I currently have two cats of my own and have cared for many more, including those with special needs. I have experience administering medication and caring for anxious cats. I’m happy to spend time playing, brushing, or simply sitting quietly nearby if that’s what your cat prefers. I used to think I was a dog person until I owned cats myself!

So grateful Leah was able to make a last-minute booking request work. Leah was on time, organized, and great with my cat Louie, who can be a little ball of stress if I'm not home during his evening routine. Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!

Leah always goes above and behind. She communicates effectively and makes sure everything gets done and that my cat is well cared for. I am a very anxious pet owner and Leah has completely put my mind at ease while I am away, and my kitty loves her! Thank you, Leah.
