West Village Backyard Pup Paradise!

Pet care experience

Since they can't travel with you, give them a vacation too! I have a PRIVATE, FENCED IN, OUTDOOR SPACE for your dog to enjoy! The pups love this space to play or sit and sun bathe in the fresh air! My compassion and caring is infinite for animals in general! (I have one cat and one dog.) I have years of experience pet sitting and have been a dog owner my whole life. I will gladly take your pup for long walks and to the local dog parks during his/her stay. Your comfort and confidence in my care for your dog is most important to me, therefore, I will keep you updated on your pup's activities daily through photos/videos/narratives of your dog's activities during their stay. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you for your interest :) I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! Best, Lesley *I offer holiday rates!

Lesley is a wonderful host and a very warm and caring person. She's a great communicator and responded immediately to let me know she could accommodate me. She took the time to do a thorough meet and greet and asked very informed questions and listened closely to all of the information that I gave her about my dog's needs. With every update that she provided I felt more and more at ease that my dog was in great hands! She worked hard to give him all of the walls and exercise he needs - I know because when we got home he went to sleep immediately! Dogs LOVE the treat of getting to lounge in her backyard she has the PERFECT home for an ideal dog vacay! And cooper (resident yorkie) is cute as a butto. And clearly loves dog buddy visitors. I would definitely recommend Lesley!!!

Lesley was great! I had no worries when dropping off my dog with her for the weekend. I'm actually hesitant to make too flattering of a post because I do not want everyone else to start using her and filling up her schedule! During our initial meet and greet had a young puppy there that she was watching and you could tell that she understood how to work with differing types/ages of dogs. She sent over plenty of pictures during the stay and kept me updated with anything important that was going on. Lesley was also very accompodating to my schedule as I had to drop of Abbie early in the morning in order to make my flight. All in all the weekend worked out great and I'm already looking to schedule another weekend for her to watch my pup!

I've had a working relationship with Lesley for approximately 2 years where she has cared for my dog, Teo (poodle Maltese mix) anywhere from one night up to two weeks. Lesley is warm, compassionate, and mindful both in our exchanges as well as with my dog. If you haven't met Lesley yet, upon meeting her in her home you will also meet her dog Cooper and her cat Dexter who are clearly very well cared for and content animals. Lesley also recently moved to a new apartment and her current place is just wonderful for a "doggy vacation". Her private patio is perfect and spacious. I highly recommend Lesley because any time I leave town, and I leave Teo with Lesley, I rest at ease knowing he is properly cared for and receiving much TLC in spite of my absence. My dog has taken quite a liking to Lesley and her dog sanctuary!

Most importantly, Lesley loves dogs and knows how to care for them. She sometimes works for my dog walking service and the dogs prefer her all other sitters that I employ. Her gentle, sweet, sensitive demeanor is ideal for a pet sitter.

Information Lesley S. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet your dog in advance of it's stay to ensure that my home is the right environment for your pup. I have a small dog (4 lbs) and a cat so it is important to make sure that the dogs that I host are also a good fit for getting along with my pack. Dogs that play rough with small dogs do not work for my home, as my dog is very small.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will walk your dog within the residential neighborhood of the west village. If your dog likes going to the dog park, I am happy to take your pup to the local dog park as well. If your dog prefers a higher activity level, we will go for runs along the hudson river together! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep wherever they prefer to rest in my home. If they want to get in bed with Cooper and I (as long as you allow it), they are welcome to sleep in bed with me. If they prefer a dog bed or the couch, they are welcome to sleep there as well. Anything goes in terms of sleeping location at my home so I will direct your pup to sleep wherever your preference would be. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home with the dog for 99% of the day. Unless I go to a movie or a meal out, I am home with your dog, providing my undivided attention!

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog owner and lover my whole life. I was born into a family of dog owners and my love for dogs has grown exponentially over the years. As soon as I moved out on my own, 10 years ago, I got my dog, Cooper, and he is the greatest source of joy in my life! I also began pet sitting in NYC 10 years ago, as well, and I have clients all over the city who would be happy to give you reviews if need be, because I am new to rover.com. I love my canine clients as if they are my own when they are in my care! :)
