Founder & Pack Leader : LeAnna
LeAnna, the founder of Reservoir Dogs, has over 14 years of experience in the pet care industry. She owned and managed a dog walking and pet sitting business in Brookyln from 2010 until 2021, when she decided to move upstate full-time after owning a weekend home in the Catskills since 2018. LeAnna first starting bringing dogs from the city to have weekend excursions at her upstate home, since many dogs didn’t have the opportunity to experience nature on a regular basis. It allowed the dogs to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of city life. LeAnna is excited to be transitioning her dog walking business to the Catskill Mountains, offering dogs the opportunity to explore and thrive in a natural environment.
As a professional dog walker, LeAnna prides herself on building strong bonds with both pets and their owners, providing reliable and compassionate care. With a keen understanding of canine behavior, she strives to make each walk a positive and enriching experience for every four-legged friend, incorporating elements like leash training and positive reinforcement.
LeAnna’s experience in pack walking goes beyond just physical coordination; with a keen eye for canine body language and behavior, her expertise has gained an understanding of canine social dynamics, ensuring a harmonious and enjoyable experience for every member of the pack. LeAnna mentored under Dani Santanella, owner of Urban K-9 training in NYC, where she gained valuable hands-on experience in canine behavior and training techniques.
During LeAnna’s free time, you can find her spending time with her partner and her own dogs, Mookie + Cinder, or passionately renovating houses in the Catskills.
