About
Hey, I'm Leigh
For those wondering, it’s pronounced Lee 🙂
I grew up in Wisconsin with a sweet yellow lab named Buddy who we adopted from the local shelter. I graduated from Akron U, eventually moving to Stow in 2008. Aside from previously working at the Humane Society of Greater Akron as Assistant to the Directors, I wrote a local pets column for Patch and pet health articles for clients including Pets Best Health Insurance. I fostered for Paws & Prayers, which was an amazing opportunity to find good matches for the homeless pets I had the pleasure of caring for in my home.
Before becoming a pet sitter I started GoFetchGifts.com, an online pet lovers gift shop that I’m currently working on rebuilding. I also enjoy painting pet portraits when I have time.

12+ Years in Business
I started my pet sitting business in 2011 after working at the Humane Society of Greater Akron and as a freelance pet health writer. Unlike independent contractors from apps like Rover or Wag who can come and go and usually aren't insured, I've committed to my business.
