Safety, trust & environment

Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.

Information Ayla W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any triggers your dog might have. In addition, to limit any confusion let me know what commands they know and how you have trained them. I have no breed restrictions because I know all dogs are good. Lastly, it is important for me to know if I need to handle your dog in a specific mannor or put on their collar/leash.

A typical day

A typical day usually consists of waking up with coffee and running around the yard with the pups, then some relaxation and inside time to get away from the weather. Then an afternoon walk and more play time! After we’re all tired out, relaxation and cuddles and pets until it’s time for dinner and our evening walk before bedtime.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I have also worked in a shelter taking care of the dogs. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training and clicker training. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of two older large dogs and a puppy. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me.

Ayla was so informative and helpful! I’m so glad I chose her to watch Paula. She followed all of my instructions and I felt safe leaving my dog in her care!! Highly recommend.

Ayla was a great sitter for my dog and senior cat for a long weekend. She came for an interview before the booking where she was pleasant to talk to and my dog warmed up to her a bit. During the booking, she took great care of our babies. Her communication was excellent. Will definitely book again.
