About Leonie
Although being a Londoner at heart, Leonie moved to the South East countryside with her husband and two children in 2003. Being an avid animal lover she took advantage of the country owning dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even bearded dragons! Leonie not only has personal experience caring for animals but has 3 years of professional pet sitting experience. Having built up her own clientele she decided to go solo and form House and Paws in August 2020 to create a more personalised pet sitting experience.
Services
Services include looking after a multitude of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even bearded dragons. For more exotic pets please enquire to discuss if Leonie's experience is adequate. Please note Leonie can not provide care for horses.
Before any service is decided upon, a pre-visit is set up to introduce Leonie to your pets. This is a non committal meeting to meet Leonie and to discuss your pet's needs, making you feel at ease.

Pre-visit = £10 + mileage. Payment is required at visit.
Service Price = Daily rates + additional duties + mileage.
Daily rate is calculated from weekday (Mon - Fri) and weekend (Sat - Sun) rates.

Testimonials
Dani and Honeybee
'Leonie’s warm, kind and friendly nature immediately put us all at ease when she looked after our puppy, Honey. She reassured us that all the little quirky things we do with Honey would still be part of her daily routine. When we saw each other after a week Honey was happy to see us but we couldn’t help feel she was going to miss her time with Leonie. I highly recommend her to help with all your travel plans.'
Sarah and OuiFi
'Leonie is a natural lover of animals and puts their needs as her priority. She is very attentive to any instructions with regard to the running of the home and the care of any animals. I felt extremely confident in leaving everything in her care. I think our furry friend was sad to see her go.'
