Why Us?

My name is Rachel Potts. I've been a member of the community since 1999. I've raised my family here. I'm also a Registered Nurse. I started "Love 'Em and Leash 'Em" way back in 2001, and have joyfully provided pet care to hundreds of families in the Bristow and Gainesville area since then.  I have seen many businesses come into the area offering pet sitting. It is a personal decision whether to use an app, contract with a "company", or hire an individual. With Love 'Em and Leash 'Em, there is no "staff turnover" to disrupt your pet's routine or cause homeowner concern. Most people ultimately prefer placing the trust of their home and pets consistently to one individual. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and jokingly call myself, "The Waterboy of dog walking". Silly as that may seem to some, it's somewhat of an "art" for me. Additionally, since I have fewer expenses, my clients can realize considerable savings.

All that said, I welcome making new four legged friends when my schedule allows. They truly are the best kind!
