Meet Leslie
After years in technology, dogs remain the work that feels most natural. I spent 14 years volunteering with shelter dogsāearning trust, handling strong dogs, helping fearful dogs get outside and giving each dog the exercise and calm attention they needed.
My own dogs live an active Colorado life. Gazelle has joined me at 8,000 feet before sunrise, and Marty is still tackling the Incline at 12. That does not mean every client needs a mountain adventure. It means exercise, patience and time with dogs are genuinely part of my life.
āI will treat your dog with the same care, judgment and commitment I give my own.ā
