    Leash & Gate Co. was founded on one simple conviction: that the care of a family's home and its animals is an act of trust, and trust must be earned through quiet, consistent excellence.

    Our clients lead lives that demand absolute confidence in the people they invite into their homes. They include private families, executives, and collectors whose properties contain not only beloved companions but also art, archives, vehicles, and the small daily rituals that make a residence feel alive. We honor all of it.

    We deliberately maintain a small client roster. Each engagement receives our full attention. We do not subcontract, we do not rotate staff, and we do not over-extend.
