About Me
Bio
My name is Kylee Harvey. I am the founder of Leash and Love. I offer a wide range of pet care services in the Burlington area and within a 5 mile radius.
In 2022, I was working in the dental field when my partner suffered a traumatic brain injury. I quit my job to focus on his recovery. As his recovery progressed and I began to think about going back to work, I couldn’t bear the thought of returning to the dental field. I’ve always had a passion for animals, nature, animal and nature photography, and being active. I couldn’t imagine doing anything better than running a pet care business where I could combine all of these passions. I began walking dogs and within only a matter of 3 months, my schedule was full not only walking dogs but also with driving dogs to daycare, doing drop ins for cats, and boarding dogs in my home. I have initiated a networking group for pet sitters and dog walkers in Vermont to connect, collaborate, and support each other. I look forward to expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and to expanding and growing my team. When I’m not caring for people’s pets or working on administrative duties, you’ll find me hanging out with my own dog, playing field hockey, partaking in pilates and yoga, or traveling the world with my partner, Lliam.
