The Long Leash

We’re so lucky to have found The Long Leash. I was really nervous about turning my fur-​baby over to someone, but I couldn’t be happier with Leanne and Skye. They are both extremely professional and passionate about the animals they work with. I love the photos and gps tracking we get with each walk. The rates are incredibly reasonable and totally worth it. Our little pup looks forward to his walk each week!

I have always been nervous about the idea of having someone, not only come into my home when I’m not there, but then take my pup out for a walk without my supervision. Until that is, I met Leanne from The Long Leash company. The moment I met Leanne, I knew it was going to be a good fit. Her kind and comforting nature, helped to ease my concerns, and her attention and diligence to the needs of of my pup were/​are very apparent.
The first time Leanne came to take my pup out for a walk, I of course was a wreck. (Not to her fault at all. You just hear stories about other services all the time, about negligence and irresponsibility, and those nervous thoughts were plaguing my mind.) However, Leanne was (and is) so incredible from the moment she arrived at my home. I received a thorough update from start to finish. I love that she uses Pet Cloud, so that you get a accurate account of her timely and caring visit.
My pup is my family, and I consider myself so lucky to have found Leanne and The Long Leash company.

We have had a baby since this review, and Leanne’s walks have saved our dogs’ (and our) sanity. With three kids and two dogs, we need all the help we can get. Knowing that our furry kids are in such capable hands gives us so much peace of mind. We have them booked for dog sitting as well, and are so thankful to have found this amazing business!

Our walker Leeanne and the Long Leash are wonderful! She truly loves animals and we can tell that our dog is not quite as lonely when we come home after her visits. She always lets us know how each walk went, complete with photos and details about all the little interactions our dog had on his walk. We are always excited to get the little notification and check the photos and read if he had any adventures! I feel totally secure letting her into my house and letting her care for our dog. I could not recommend these people enough.

I can’t recommend Leanne and The Long Leash enough! I was fortunate enough to meet her right when I moved into my new house in an entirely new neighborhood not serviced by my old dog walker. With three dogs (two large), I need someone I trust implicitly to help walk and care for my dogs, and Leanne is that person. I am always cautious when hiring a new walker, and she understood my need to thoroughly explain my dogs’ quirks and idiosyncrasies. She was very patient and took time to understand my dogs and has consequently built a solid relationship with them — she even took note of one of my dog’s allergies so she could buy compatible treats for her!
I recently had a baby and needed help managing the dogs’ routine, and she was incredibly reliable and flexible as we navigated this transition. I have been home when she picked up the dogs and returned them, so I have witnessed their excitement at her arrival and saw her handle them with the utmost professional competence. Furthermore, she provides GPS tracking and promptly sends walk updates via email.
I’ve hired many dog walkers over the years and most have been doing it as a side job while pursuing something else. Leanne is a true professional when it comes to dog care, and her commitment to her clients (and their pets!) sets her services apart. I have total peace of mind when my dogs are with her!

Amazing experience with Leanne from the Long Leash!
Even though I usually walk Gilbert (My Bull Dog) myself, he seemed to be putting on weight and I knew he could use an extra day time walk while I am at work.
I didn’t want to impose on family and friends (sometimes Gilbert gets grumpy) so I hired Leanne.
What an angel/​dog expert. She knew the breed well, worked within my time schedule, and she she visits Gilbert, my phone dings! Then I see where they walked, the route, the time they spent together (I get 30 minute walks) and the price was reasonable.
I leave everyday knowing that Gilbert is going to be visited by someone that loves him and I get a picture of them together (Usually kissing… I was a little jealous at first) everyday!
Your the best Long Leash and Leanne. Smooches from me and Gilbert.

The Long Leash and Leanne in particular has been an absolute blessing for our family. My wife and I work long and stressful hours but having the Long Leash take care of our pups during the day alleviates a tremendous amount of stress for us. We have two big dogs with a wide age gap and very different needs, but Leanne understands them both and takes great care of them. We have used a variety of dog walkers in the past in the many different cities in which we have lived, but we have never found anyone this consistent and with whom the dogs are so clearly in love. I could not recommend The Long Leash highly enough if you are looking for someone to take care of the furry members of your family!

We have used The Long Leash for their dog walking services. Due to a torn meniscus and subsequent surgery I was not able to take our golden retriever on her daily walks. To the rescue came Leanne and The Long Leash. Leanne is always on time and very friendly. Our Samantha loved her from the first walk. We plan to use her services in the future. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Very professional, compassionate and conscious minded business and business owners! We were in a pinch and needed to board our dog because we were leaving the country for 3 weeks. I felt very confident and worry free leaving our pup and senior cat in the care of «The Long Leash.» When we came home everyone was looking happy, healthy and well-​cared for! We received plenty of updates and pictures of our furry friends a few times a week and when any problems or issues arose we were notified right away. They even watered the plants! We will definitely be calling on them again.

The Long Leash took wonderful care of your dogs while we were away. Leanne is wonderful with animals and I trust her with my dogs completely. We returned home to two happy, tail-​wagging pups and a note detailing what they all had done while we were gone. I couldn’t recommend TLL highly enough.

Leanne with The Long Leash is an animal whisperer. Her compassion and ability to be fully present with our beloved pets is a gift, and my husband and I are grateful to have her on our team. Our dog and kitty adore her (think puppy squeals and never ending tail wagging)!
Beyond Leanne being trustworthy and wonderful with animals, we appreciate that she uses environmentally conscious products in her business. This isn’t just a bonus, this is essential in my opinion.
It is a joy to work with The Long Leash. Thank you Leanne!

If I could give Leanne more than 5 stars I would. Each day I know I’m leaving my dog Annie in the best possible hands when it comes to her daily walk with Leanne and the long leash. I know Annie looks forward to her walk and i know she’s having a blast with her bff Leanne. I love that I get a detailed update, a gps map of where they went, and great pictures. This is in addition to cuddles and fresh water. When I come home each day, Annie is so happy which makes me happy. You can absolutely trust your fur kids with the long leash!
In this crazy wet weather, Leanne even brought a scarf for Annie and then sat patiently with her watching the rain when she didn’t want to go out.
Two thumbs/​paws up!

Leanne took care of my hermit crabs for five days while I was in England. The crabs were so well cared for, every specific instruction was followed exactly; even playtime was full of joyous surprise. Thank you sooooo much, Long Leash friends. The crabs came home healthy, happy, and ready to try new things (coconut).

The Long Leash took great care of our 3 babies for a week. This is a very personable and personalized care company with pet care tailored to your kids needs. I much prefer this to the automated app of some of the other pet sitting companies where keys are left in a box for the available sitter. We wanted a personalized approach for our kids and to know who our sitter is. We received daily visit notes and pics when possible. I recommend you call them to babysit and care for your fuzzy kids!

We have two cats and Skye is just amazing with them! Even the shy one will come to her for belly rubs! She is such a wonderful sitter, very responsible and really intuitive, it’s clear how much she connects with animals. We’ve had to leave town a lot just lately, and it’s such a relief not to spend even a second worrying about our guys while we’re away — we know we’re coming back to very relaxed, well loved, happy kitties. This is a relationship we treasure!

I do not like to use kennels, so when we left our two dogs at home during a recent trip, we used The Long Leash for the first time. They were fed and walked regularly, and we were impressed with the love and attention our two dogs received. Leanne even texted a picture of their smiling faces during one of their walks, and left some homemade dog treats for us on our return! We care deeply about the well-​being of our dogs, and will definitely use The Long Leash for future needs.

Leanne is a very loving and caring person! And thus she is the same with your pets. Our dogs love her and have the attack of happy tails whenever they see her. While we were gone she took fun pictures and sent us updates on how the dogs were doing! She is very responsible and conscientious. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Great pet sitter. Dogs, cats, chickens, fish you name it… She is very proffessional. We will use her again

Leanne is an animal whisperer. I have never met another person who treats my animals with as much love (perhaps even more) than I do. She is so capable, respectful, and loving with Ruby. I’m pretty sure Ruby looks forward to me going away so she can have vacations at Leanne’s.

We hired Leanne to take care of our chickens (yes, chickens!) and she listened so carefully to our detailed instructions and put to rest every one of our anxieties about their care. I can’t imagine anyone more gentle and conscientious. She knows what it’s like to adore one’s pets and she extends her own passionate love of animals to every furry and feathered being she meets.
