Pet care experience

Getting my degree one pup at a time

I grew up with two wonderful dogs, Ranger and Lucy, and I helped to train them as I got older. I worked at a great doggie daycare for an about a year in 2023-24 and I learned lots of awesome techniques and information about dogs' body language, needs, and other things. I am also equipped to handle medications, whether it be pills, ear/eye drops, or injections. I enjoy being around and training dogs very much, I'd say they're one of the things I am most passionate about! I think that staying with dogs, either overnight or just for the day sounds like a dream!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I mentioned this in my description but I very much enjoy training dogs (although I’m not the most experienced or effective), cuddling or playing with them, whichever they prefer, and am capable of providing medications of multiple kinds to your pets. I can provide potty breaks both during the day and night if needed. I can sleep on a couch or in a bed, either with or without your pet. Personally, my dogs are crate-trained, so I understand not wanting them on couches or beds to sleep or just in general. Although, I would be absolutely overjoyed to have a sweet cuddle buddy to sleep with me. One last thing about safety, at my previous job, I was often alone in a room of up to 50 dogs and am well aware of techniques to break up a fight, although I doubt I will need to do this, I think it’s an important thing to know about the person taking care of your pet.

Ayla was great! She was available last minute to watch our dog and did such a great job looking after him while we were gone. And the house was just as we left it! Highly recommend

Ayla provides exceptional care for our two dogs whenever we call on her. We feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in such safe and loving hands. Her communication is outstanding, sending updates and photos that reassure us our furry family members are happy and well-cared for. Ayla's sweet personality shines through in everything she does, and our dogs clearly adore her. We always return to find our home in perfect condition and two very content pups. We wouldn't hesitate to book Ayla again and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter.

I’d like to know medications and schedule of medication if there are any. I’d also like to know about your dogs behavior towards other people, small children, and dogs on walks and in the park. I need to know about sleeping situations if it’s an overnight and how potty trained your dog is, too. If there is anything else you can think of, let me know!
