Once upon a time there was a girl who loved cats. The end.

Pet sitting services in greater Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA.

Leah’s approach

I believe that animals deserve the utmost care and respect, particularly when their owners are away and they are feeling vulnerable. While some animals, like dogs, might enjoy traveling with their owners or going to a friend’s house or a kennel, cats feel safest when they are visited in their home. I’ve been pet sitting for three decades, and I look forward to adding your pets to my pet care community!

Cats are my specialty, but I also provide care for most animals, as well as plants.

About Leah

I have been rescuing and caring for animals in need since I was a child. A gentle and respectful approach is my specialty. Taking awkward selfies with cats is also my specialty, as seen below.

“Leah really went above and beyond when it came to the care of our precious kitty, KiKi. We were gone for about 9 days-- she sent multiple photos and updates of KiKi's well-being while we were gone; it was so reassuring! Seeing the photos and reading the updates really made our trip so much more relaxing! She also had no problem helping out with other household tasks, including watering plants and bringing in the mail. She really was a life-saver while we were on our trip! Five-stars, highly, highly recommend!”
