Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Daycare Professional!
I've worked extensively as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate, making sure to avoid direct eye contact when meeting them for the first time (dog code for "I'm chill"). I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
Ratings and reviews
Baylin was great with Sophie! Would definitely recommend and plan on rebooking in the future!
Attentive and communicates well.
I cannot recommend Baylin enough to dog sit! I am an anxious traveling who doesn’t love to leave our dogs or house, and let me say that I felt so comfortable knowing that Baylin was watching over our pups in our home while away. He was thoughtful in the questions he asked prior and during. He was even kind enough to send updates! My dogs loved him and were so happy to have someone to play and snuggle with. We will call Baylin first every time we need someone! We even planned a vacation around his availability. Don’t hesitate to contact him, you won’t regret it and your pets will thank you!
