Pet care experience
I grew up on a ranch, surrounded by LOTS of livestock and the dogs that helped us. We always had at least 5 dogs - of all breeds - on my family's property, and I would often take care of other people's dogs while they traveled. Now that I'm in DC, I am continuously looking for new ways to be with animals. I currently own a 5 year old beagle who gets along well with others, alternating between bouts of energy and sleepiness. I permanently work from home MWF and am just a short walk from hiking trails at the arboretum. I'm happy to watch most dogs, but will decline pitbulls and rottweilers. My dog loves frequent long walks, and I'm happy to bring yours along. Or if yours prefers to stay home, that is wonderful too! I also routinely watch older dogs with limited mobility and detailed medicine needs, so can be flexible to whatever is required.
Reviews
Ayla was great! She was very flexible with dates and times and sent lots of pictures. Our other-dog-hesitant pup had no issues coexisting with her beagle for the weekend. Thank you for being there for us in a pinch, Ayla!
We're thrilled with Ayla's dog-sitting service. Our 1-year-old and 4-month-old puppies adore her and are always excited to see her. Ayla's kindness and understanding, especially when our flight was delayed, made our experience exceptional. As it always is! Highly recommended!
Ayla is my favorite Rover EVER! I fully trust her and she is very understanding and wants to help. It is clear that she is an animal lover! Diego has stayed with her several times, but this time he had a little infection on his back paw and she did everything that she could to ensure that it healed. When I got back from my trip, Diego looked healthy, happy, and loved! HIGHLY recommended! Thank you so much, as always, Ayla!
We went on a multi-week international trip and Diego stayed with Ayla and her doggie, Bella. I fully trusted in Ayla because she was so communicative and she sent daily photos of walks and snuggles. I am so very pleased that I chose Ayla - it made my trip that much better knowing that Diego was in excellent care. She was so attentive to him on the 4th of July too when all of the fireworks were going off and he was scared. When I picked him up and he came home he looked healthy and happy. Thank you so, so, so much, Ayla! Highly recommend!

I would like to know your dog's personality and how he/she responds to strange dogs. If your pup has any seperation anxiety, that is helpful for me to know as well.
A typical day
We'll go on long walks, play lots of fetch, and give lots of loving petting sessions! I live close by to some hiking trails, so can easily bring your dog along for a nature walk.
