Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ayla was AMAZING with our pup during her drop in visits. Her communication was top notch and she always left us with plenty of pictures and details about the visit. When one of our other sitters couldn’t make it over to our house, she offered to swing by and make sure our dog was taken care of for the night. I will definitely use her in the future!
Ayla is a GEM 💎 of a human!! My dog Oshie was obsessed with her, truly. She’d get so excited when Ayla came by the house for her daily walk. She was super flexible, and always very responsive when I’d send her a message. 10/10 recommend.
Ayla did great with our 3 pups! She’s very professional and sent us sweet photos, which we always appreciate 😊
Handled a tough weather situation with patience and grace. We so appreciated having her with our fur babies during this time!
Ayla has been an absolute dream to work with. She’s dependable, punctual, and very trustworthy. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!
Very responsive and took great care of my pup!

Schedule
🐾 All Paws, Scales & Feathers Welcome! One sitter. All kinds of critters. Care tailored to every personality. Hi, I'm Ayla, pronounced like Kayla, drop the K! Animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities are welcome here. From playful pups and curious cats to rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animal companions. I believe every animal deserves thoughtful, attentive care. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means I can offer flexible availability to better accommodate your schedule and your pets' individual needs. I know that no two animals are alike. Some need long walks and plenty of playtime, while others prefer a quiet environment, a predictable routine, or a little extra patience. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and follow your instructions to help keep their days as familiar and stress free as possible. I'm happy to learn about your pet's unique routines, feeding preferences, enrichment needs, and personality quirks before we get started. Whether your companion has fur, feathers, scales, or fins, clear communication and individualized care are always priorities. I also understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your animals requires trust. I strive to be dependable, respectful of your space, attentive to your instructions, and timely with scheduled visits and stays. Your pets are family, and their care deserves to be personal. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your animals receive the attention, companionship, and care they need while you're away. Have an animal you don't see mentioned here? Don't hesitate to ask! I'd love to learn more about your unique companion and discuss how I can help. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🦎🐠
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priorities. Whether I'm caring for your animals in your home or visiting for a drop-in, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your space, and work to keep your pet's environment safe, clean, and comfortable. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to every visit, paying attention to doors, gates, feeding routines, and your pet's surroundings. I also believe communication is essential, so you can expect me to reach out with questions or concerns rather than make assumptions. My goal is to provide dependable, respectful care that keeps your pets comfortable and gives you peace of mind while you're away. ❤️
Pets
A typical day
No two pets are alike, so I tailor each visit to their personality, needs, and routine! Our time together might include sniff filled walks, playtime, enrichment activities, positive reinforcement, or simply quiet companionship and cuddles. For cats and smaller companions, that might mean interactive play, gentle attention, or keeping their environment clean and comfortable. For birds, reptiles, fish, and other unique pets, I focus on their specific care routines and appropriate enrichment. I follow your instructions to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress free as possible. Whether your animal is ready for an adventure or prefers a peaceful afternoon, my goal is to make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of appropriate interaction, and a little extra love while you're away. 🐾

- Every Pet Has a Story. Tell Me Yours! 🐾 The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor their care to their individual needs. Before we get started, I'd love to learn about their personality, daily routine, preferences, and anything else that helps me make their time with me safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Please share any important information about your pet, including: - Personality & temperament: Are they outgoing, shy, energetic, independent, or a little quirky? - Daily routines: What are their usual feeding times, potty breaks, exercise needs, sleep habits, and favorite activities? - Special care needs: Do they have dietary restrictions, medications, mobility concerns, allergies, or other needs I should know about? - Behavior & boundaries: Are there particular fears, triggers, handling preferences, or situations I should avoid? - Favorite things: What makes them happiest? Treats, toys, walks, enrichment, gentle attention, or simply having someone nearby? - Safety & emergency information: Please share relevant veterinary contact information, emergency instructions, and anything else I may need to know while you're away. I welcome pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and other small or exotic companions. I understand that caring for a bearded dragon is very different from caring for a bunny or a senior dog, and I want to understand the specific needs of your animal rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. If your pet has a unique routine or requires specialized care, please don't hesitate to tell me! I'm happy to discuss their needs with you beforehand and determine how I can best accommodate them. I can also provide a pre-care questionnaire to help us cover the important details and make sure we're on the same page before your booking begins. You know your pet best. My job is to listen, learn, and provide care that respects the animal you love. The more we communicate, the better prepared I can be to give your pet a positive experience and you greater peace of mind. ❤️
