Puppy Sitting

A premium behavior-minded care solution for puppies

Leaving your dog is hard. Leaving your puppy is even harder.

Meet Koinonia’s Puppy Sitting — where expertise meets availability.

Finding care for puppies who are too young for traditional boarding or drop-in sitters can be downright impossible and leave you feeling like travel is completely out of reach.

Not with Koinonia!

Certified Professional Dog Trainer Leighann makes worry-free travel possible by blending her puppy expertise with a unique availability to live in your home with your puppy.

Perks

  • Live-In Expert. Training professionally since 2014, Leighann is uniquely qualified to keep your puppy’s behavior on track while you’re away.

  • Activities. Your puppy’s daily routine includes training, play, resting and appropriate chewing — orchestrated by a professional — so your house and his behavior stays intact.

  • Socialization. All stays include an age-appropriate field trip to build confidence without compromising manners.

  • Communication. With daily updates, you’re never in the dark about how your puppy is doing.

  • Extras. More than just the puppy? In most cases, Leighann can care for your other pets as well.

Eligibility

  • Puppy Sitting is available for puppies 8-20 weeks old.

  • Puppies must be comfortable resting alone for 3-4 hours at a time.
    Absences are arranged with potty training and puppy activity needs in mind. You may arrange for relief sitters to cover the absences if your puppy isn’t ready to be alone.

  • 5-night minimum.

  • Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years stays are not available.

  • Due to sensitivities, Puppy Sitting is only available in smoke-free, vape-free and low fragrance homes.
