Owners
Leahland Hill
Leahland owns and operates Rose City Dogs with his amazing wife Gea. Leahland originally comes from the Event Production industry. Amongst his successful 20-year period of owning and operating events, he had the honor of producing in the Green Technology sector while working closely with then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s administration, as well as Residential Building, and Senior Health & Wellness.
While fighting his way back from a life changing event that left him partially blind, Leahland and his wife adopted two incredible Chocolate Labrador Retrievers. This family addition became a turning point for Leahland. He knows that he would not be here today without the love of his dogs and he wanted to give back. He soon changed career course as he realized that dog training and canine behavior were passions that he needed to follow. Leahland is currently enrolled at the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, working towards a Master Class Certification in dog training and behavior.
For the last three years Leahland has owned and operated a small home boarding facility, further deepening his love and knowledge of personalized dog care and solidifying his belief that all dogs need one on one love and attention. This belief is what drove Leahland to create Rose City Dogs “Small Batch Dog Care.”

Over the years she has earned a Master Herbalist diploma, her massage license in the state of Oregon, a degree in Gerontology, and certification as a Master Hypnotist and currently practicing Clinical Hypnotherapist.
