"My husband and I had to go out of town unexpectedly and we didn't have anyone that could watch our cats. Leash Adventures was recommended to me in our town's local Facebook page. I reached out to Monica on Monday and she came over on Tuesday and we left to go out of town on Thursday. During the initial meeting, Monica was able to make friends with one of our cats (our "tuxedo" cat) and they hit it off right away. Our other cat has major "stranger danger" and hides under the bed if anybody comes to the house. Right off the bat, Monica gave me very good vibes, I felt very at ease with her in our home and with our pets, she asked great questions she was very professional and very caring. She's passionate about what she does and it's obvious she loves all kinds of animals. We were able to leave her with our pets and felt very confident that we left them in loving hands. She played with our tuxedo and says she even had a sighting of our other cat (to us, that was a HUGE deal since our past pet sitters had never even got a glimpse of him). Monica arrived on time every day, twice a day. That gave me great peace of mind and let me focus on the reason for our unexpected trip instead of worrying about our cats. Don't go anywhere else for pet sitting, LEASH ADVENTURES will take care of your fur babies and give you peace of mind that they are fed, loved on and played with. A tired pet is a happy pet! Thank you, Monica!!!"Read on Google
"Monica is a truly wonderful pet sitter! Her business was recommended to us and we’re so glad we contacted her for pet sitting! She cared for our elderly cat while we were out of town. During the initial meeting, she was kind, asked thorough questions, and reassured us that our cat would be in good hands! During each visit, she updated us on how our guy was doing and even brought him fun toys to play with while we were gone. We felt completely confident leaving our beloved cat in her care. Highly recommend her business for your animal sitting needs!"Read on Google
"Its so hard to find someone who can watch 2 big dogs. Monica was great! She was thoughtful enough to send us pics and my animals were happy! Thank you so much. We will use you again for sure."Read on Google
"Monica and her staff are wonderful and I recommend them enthusiastically! Our rescue, Maddie, is always in great hands and I love reading the daily notes about her walks and Maddie's behavior. I never worry, knowing that Maddie is happy and enjoying her time with Monica and Ale:) We are so appreciative:)"Read on Google
"Called the night before we were leaving for two weeks. Monica was able to squeeze us in. She kept in frequent contact, sent pictures of the puppies, kept us abreast of the house and yard. Offered to clip murfees toenails, and sent us a cute online father's day card from the puppies. Really eased our minds about being away from the pups for do long.
