Lezlie DeGan
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
After graduating from Life University I went into the corporate world for a number of years. It was great experience because it helped me figure out what I did and did not want to do. The opportunity opened to join Lezlie’s Pet Sitting and I dove right in. During this time I also competed as a triathlete at a professional level. Running and cycling is still a passion of mine. We have 3 dogs and a sweet cat in our furry family. You will probably meet me during a meet and greet and I can’t wait to meet you and your special pets.
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.

Hi I’m Maggie! A Northern girl who made her way south! I have been caring for animals as long as I can remember! I’ve watched everything from dogs, cats, chickens, horses and goats and everything in between LOL. I have such a deep love and respect for the life of an animal, and that is the way I will care for every animal that I come in contact with. I am known as that 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” thank you for trusting us with your fur babies! My goal in Pet Sitting is to make sure the pet parents know their babies are very well taken care of and loved while they are away️. This is the love of my life, my little girl Arielle(we are a Disney family)

Hey, I’m Lilly! I’m so excited to be loving each and every one of your pups!! I am the fur mommy to FOUR, that’s right four!, incredibly personable and beautiful pups! Ninja, Kush, Legion, and Bear! All of my pups are rescues and I’ve had Ninja since he was 8 weeks old (6 now), and Bear since he was 30 days old! If you ask anyone in my life what I care about the most, they will say my wife, my dogs, and animals in general. I’ve caught and released a possum by hand, deflead, and nursed 6 puppies to health at one time, and helped numerous animals on the side of the road. The movie Hotel for Dogs inspired my dream to one day own a big piece of land and create a massive safe haven for all dogs so that the shelters stop being so overcrowded, and no pup goes unloved! Every pet I come across automatically becomes a new member of my ever growing fur family, and I can’t wait to add your babies to that list!
