Stella's Bones & Pet Care Dog walking and vacation pet care Her newest puppy, Stella, inspired her to start this business.
(2)

After working as a family law attorney for almost a decade, Lesley decided to leave the practice of law to dedicate herself to animal welfare. She's long made treats for her dogs but with the addition of Stella, a Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd Dog mix, Lesley figured it was time to start a new job to keep Stella fed. :) As with all her dogs, Stella came from a rescue/shelter environment. All th

e treats Lesley makes are made with human grade ingredients sourced in the United States. Your human taste buds may not appreciate the flavor as much as your pup's taste buds do, but rest assured if it's not fit for human consumption, Lesley won't feed it to her dogs -- or yours. Lesley has experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, birds and other small animals (guinea pigs, mice, and rabbits, for example). She has been a volunteer at Dakin Humane Society since 2015 where she is a member of the K9 Elite team leaders. As a member of the K9 Elite, Lesley has received training in, not only handling happy-go-lucky dogs, but also those who are a bit more challenging to care for and interact with. Lesley has also worked as a dog walker and pet sitter since February 2016 before venturing out on her own. In addition to caring for the animals of others, she also is owned by three rescue dogs. Currently, one of her dogs is diabetic and receives twice daily insulin shots. In the past her pack has included a deaf dog, a blind dog, and a dog who developed cognitive dysfunction. Between her experience and her love for animals, she is equipped and ready to watch for your pet in your absence with the same love and care as you would.

Vacation is over and I'm back to work. As much as I hate waking up before noon, it was nice to see Bingley, the coonhound, today. Interestingly enough, on our walk a raccoon crossed the road about a half block away. (Coonhound: Dog who hunts c***s). Bingley TOTALLY flunked Coonhound 101, thank goodness!

Please make sure not to keep your pets in a parked vehicle. The results can be fatal to them.

Remember, state law allows citizens to make entry to a hot car to rescue an animal - if the citizens have first called 911 & made a good faith attempt to find the vehicle’s owner first.

Bingley, not a huge fan of "wet" or "exercise," nonetheless enjoys his walks.

Our first snowfall of the year finally! I thought that I would take a moment and remind everyone of my inclement weather policy. If the roads are safe, I'll be there as scheduled. If the roads haven't been cleared and it's not safe to be out, I will make it to your house to care for your pet as soon as I can safely be there. You've trusted me with the well-being of your pets and I take that very seriously.

PS. Stella is super happy about the snow.

Halo especially likes her doggie cookies.

At the end of December last year, I realized how horrible I am at clearing out the photos I collect over the years. I had over 8,000 photos on my phone, most of which were client photos. As I cleared them off, I looked through them and thought how I liked this photo, or that photo would look good framed, or I laughed at a particular goofy photo. I came up with the idea that I would make a photo book in 2023. Each month I took one picture of each cat and dog I took care of and then made a scrapbook page or two of each month. I've just finished giving out the books and I think, overall, the pet parents enjoyed getting them.

Best of all, I have the book to always remember these guys.

Everyone keep an eye out for this among your pets.

A respiratory illness is affecting canines in some areas across the United States. Diagnostic testing has not yet confirmed the cause, but we are taking precautions to keep your dog safe.

Please see below for a few advisories we recommend to help reduce the risks of canine respiratory exposure and sickness.

We're on a well-needed vacation this coming week. I will still be answering messages and voicemail but I will likely be slower than normal in returning your calls.

I've been missing Brodie and Josie.  So good to see them today.
