Meet the Owner
Lezlie DeGan
FOUNDER & OWNER
Pets have always been a passion of mine. I have had either a cat or dog or more like cats and dogs most of my life. When it came time to re-evaluate my career choices, I was a teacher for many years, I decided that I finally wanted to do something in the pet community. Because of my deep love of dogs I believed that dog training was the place for me.
In 2007 I studied and received my certification to become a trainer. It wasn’t long before I realized I needed to do something to market myself as a trainer. As it happened, years before while we lived in California we needed to find someone to care for our two cats. At this time we had only been there for a few months and didn’t really know anyone. I happened to come across a young woman who said she was a professional pet sitter. Great! Exactly what we needed, I also thought, what a cool profession.
Fast forward to 2007, I thought, YES! pet sitting would introduce me to the community and hopefully launch my dog training business. Well, what I didn’t expect was how much I would fall in love with the pet sitting side of things. The next year I put the dog training side on hold and Lezlie’s Pet Sitting was born. It’s been an awesome journey, I have met some amazing people and their furry families. I’m proud of the work we have done, I’m blessed with many wonderful pet sitters and clients and I anticipate that Lezlie’s Pet Sitting will continue to offer exceptional pet care.
Meet The Pet Care Team
Meghan D
CO OWNER AND PET CARE PROFESSIONAL
Thank you for reaching out to us! I have been a pet care profession and co-owner of Lezlie’s Pet Sitting for 5 years now. Lezlie is my mom and this has been a fun and exciting time for us.
After graduating from Life University, I went into the IT recruiting world for a number of years. It was a great experience because it helped me figure out what I did and did not want to do. It also gave me the tools and knowledge to help grow the team here at Lezlie’s Pet Sitting! I am extremely proud of the team that we currently have and I know you will be happy with the care that you receive from each one of them. I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane named Benny and a Russell Terrier named Lewis. They are a wild duo but they have me wrapped around their paws! I look forward to taking care of your fur family just as I would my own.
Ed & Liz
PET CARE PROFESSIONAL
Ed was born on a 100 acre working plantation and has been around animals all my life. Ed has personally owned and cared for: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, snakes, fish, cattle and birds. As a retired university professor, he has plenty of time to devote to the care of your special pets.
Liz has always been an animal lover. She has had everything from dogs and cats to fish and birds. Animals bring such a joy to life. She also loves taking care of our outside wild life around our house.
We have suet holders, 4 bird feeders and a salt lick for the visiting deer. They always make sure that the geese and ducks have plenty of corn. We always carry a pet emergency first aid kit with us, and pray we never have to use it.
Madi E.
PET CARE PROFESSIONAL
Hi there! I am the loving paw-rent of two precious rescue pups, a very goofy high-energy Boxer, and a very anxious but sweet-as-can-be Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is the definition of a velcro dog! For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around animals. I have always had a passion for caring for them and helping them in any way I can. I volunteer with the Humane Society and PAWS Atlanta, I am also a volunteer transporter for injured wildlife and do volunteer work for a local wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m currently pursuing a BS in Animal Health and Behavior. My utmost priority will always be the health, happiness, and safety of your four-legged family members! You can rest assured knowing they will always be in great hands when they are in my care!
Maggie
PET CARE PROFESSIONAL
Hi, I’m Maggie! Thank you for trusting me with your precious fur babies! I have such a deep love and respect for the life of an animal and have been caring for them as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and everything in between! I am known as the girl who will take care of any feral cats I come across and yes, I do keep food in my car for the “just in case”! My goal in pet sitting is to make sure the pet parents know that their babies are very well taken care of and loved while they are away️.
