Smallees of Stratford provides calm, patient, and gentle care for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. With a soft spot for the anxious and senior ones, my goal is to maintain a consistent and loving routine to help your pets feel the most at-home in your absence. Services include dog walking, cat and dog sitting, drop-ins, and daycare. I offer my services on a sliding scale because I believe good pet care should be accessible to as many households in our community as possible. Smallees of Stratford is fully insured.
Leigha (Lee) | Steward of Smallees
After adopting a senior dog, Harry, and seeing him through his retirement years, I came to appreciate the unique needs of older animals. Harry inspired me to keep learning, and since 2019, I’ve been honoured to provide care for pets across Ontario and Québec. I’ve fostered pets for people escaping violence through SafePet and currently, I volunteer with ElderDog assisting and supporting older adults in the care and well-being of their canine companions. These experiences have shown me that caring for pets is one of the small ways a community looks after its own. I possess the following certifications:
- Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker (CPS-DW) | PPCA (2026)
- Positively Pillars | Positively by Victoria Stillwell (2025)
- Dog and Cat First Aid | Canadian Red Cross (2026)
