Hello, my name is Leanne. I have always loved being with and around dogs since I was little. Dogs have always provided me comfort, love, and enjoyment. I decided to embark (heh) on this venture of being a petsitter, as I would love to be able to once again experience that love and companionship with other dogs. I don't discriminate either, though- I also love cats, and would be equally as excited to petsit your cats!
My experience, first and foremost, includes having owned a dog and a cat previously as a teenager. I also possess extensive experience of taking care of other people's dogs (and cats), all of which were small to medium-sized dogs. I have taken care of dogs ranging in age from puppies to adults, and for as long as long as 1 week to 4 months. For cats I mostly have experience caring for adult cats.
For now I only offer services at the owner's home. For daycare services such as going on walks, home visits, etc., I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. For home visits, I am currently very flexible with timing, and can stay as late as 8 or 9pm if required. The same flexibility also extends to house sitting, wherein I can stay for as long as required by owners. I also have a lot of housesitting experience from my previous petsitting gigs, and am aware of the full safety precautions of checking for any possible fire hazard, keeping areas clean, keeping doors locked, etc.
Leanne stayed in my appartment to take care of my cat for 4 days and I was very happy. I received some news and photos. She kept me informed of the time of her departure from my home. For our first appointment, she informed me in due time she had a slight delay due to public transport. Very good communication and respect for the way I do things in my place. I think my cat was also very happy with her. I'll ask her to come back next time I need.
Leanne was wonderful from start to finish watching our pets and our apartment. We have a household full of two giant kittens and one diva old lady dog, and Leanne handled them all like a pro. We received a couple of updates while we were away, and she shared adorable pictures. She also took great care of the apartment, and we came home to a clean home and a bunch of happy, healthy babies. We will absolutely be booking Leanne again!
