About Leah

Greetings fellow pet parent!

I simply love pets. I have five cats and a turtle and have always been surrounded by animals at a young age. I started as a dogwalker and house sitter from the age of 13 and have cared for clients pets throughout my life. I have switched career paths and am seriously pursuing the art of grooming. I personally love the feeling of seeing the trust from a furry friend and learn of their cute characteristics. I am very astute when sensing their behaviours and communications, knowing how to handle situations as they come up.

I personally dont like to stress cats out, so if i am to house sit, id like to set up a preliminary meet n' greet to see if your cat is accepting of my presence. I also appreciate seeing you go through your feeding rituals, as that will help me let your pets feel comfortable knowing they are getting the proper amount and attention for feeding time.


With dogs, i like to be able to do a preliminary walk with you, to see how you handle your puppers and to see how they react in order to make an enjoyable experience for your doggos walkies. 

Boarding pets is a delicate situation that is based on the characteristics of the individual pet and how they may get along with my tribe. With that said, i have a closed in backyard, cattio (cat patio) in the summer, and many cat features like cat shelves and a cat wheel! My cats are always welcomed for newcomers and are all friendly to cats and dogs.

I have cared for other pets as well such as rats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, and have owned birds in the past. Not to mention i still have my turtle (Teeny) who is my first pet, now roughly 25 years old.

I am a creative, so as a jeweler artist i like producing high end pet jewellery. I also make my own pet outfits, usually worn by my na-kid kitties. With a stay at my place, they would be spoiled silly!

Please disclose any ailments your pet has so i can make sure they are getting the best treatment and focus for their individual needs.

I am very respectful of your pets as i love mine like my own children. I have a very flexible time schedule and can follow through efficiently. Also, if you require a quick water of your plants and a mail pickup, don't hesitate to let me know and i'll also keep your plant babies alive, as i am also an avid gardener. Thank you kindly for considering me as a candidate to look after your companions.

Leah is the Leslie Knope of pet sitters. When she came to the meet and greet she already knew all five of my guinea pigs' names and which was which. She went through the details of our trip and the pet care required thoroughly. Leah is very knowledgeable about animal health and was confident giving one of the pigs their oral medication. She sent tons of photos while we were away and even included a video of her singing to the ladies. Leah even brought veggies from home to add more variety to their diet. It's hard to find an exotic pet sitter of this calibre and I would certainly recommend her to others.
