Meet the Team

Meet Leah

Hey, I’m Leah. I’ve been working in dog care for over 20 years, specializing in off-leash pack leadership and group handling. I’ve worked alongside celebrated dog trainers and attended professional development seminars on behavior and safety, equipping me to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My approach to dog walking is grounded in balance, consistency, and play. I’m obsessed with what I do, and I feel so fortunate to call it my job. When I’m not running around outside with your dogs, I love catching movies at the local arthouse theater, going for early morning swims, and escaping to a cabin with my best girl, Cozy.

Meet Cozy

Meet Cozy, my 3-year-old Norwegian Elkhound, adopted in November 2024. Cozy’s official role at North Star is Social Director: she helps me assess how prospective campers read cues and fit into a pack. But her real magic is putting new pups at ease — she’s super sweet, silly, and tends to be everyone’s first best friend at Dog Camp!
