Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
Lover of all things furry and scaly
I have had many pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. Prior to moving to the Lehigh Valley, I lived with my family in Philadelphia where I helped care for the family cats, and as of a few years ago, a Cockapoo. They can be seen on my page in the "pets" section. Before these pets came into our lives, my childhood dog was a very sweet pit bull, Snow, who was great with kids and treated cats like her own babies. In addition to her, we had multiple cats, as well as other pit bulls who came to stay at our home from time to time. Because of my experience, I feel most confident working with larger, more energetic dogs such as mastiffs and bully breeds. Strong leadership, discipline, and a daily routine are important for these dogs to feel secure and ensure the safety of those around them, in addition to building trust with new people. In addition to dogs, I especially have a soft spot for cats. Due to various living situations (apartment, dorm, etc.) as well as an unpredictable schedule, my lifestyle has historically been more suitable for cats as companions. Because of this, I have grown to understand them and understand their unique behavior as felines, rather than care for them with the same expectations I would have for dogs. In the past, I have received comments and compliments from both owners and onlookers regarding my care for cats, and how I have been able to win over cats who are known to be shy or aggressive around others.

Notes et avis
Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!
She did an amazing job. My cats are rather timid but she was able to get them comfortable with her. She is very responsive and sent lots of pictures while also escalating concerns quickly.
Thanks for taking care of my senior dog.
Thank you Khalaya for your kindness and patience with Chichi and Bailey. Thank you for the follow up and pictures about their stay with you. I will book you again!
Khalaya did a spectacular job caring for my rambunctious Maine Coon kitten Wesley while away in Europe. Communicated well with daily updates and pics with stories of playtime and reports of how well he was behaving. No brainer choice for future boarding arrangements. Thanks!
This is the 5th time Khalaya has boarded my Cane Corso and once again, another awesome experience. Thank you! ~Sadie..........

Dates de la garde
I am a graduate student who is currently taking a break from studies, although I plan to return as an online student in the Fall of 2026. Although I intend to take online classes, I may have another part time job in the future alongside pet sitting. At the moment, I will be starting a summer job as a park worker, although I am able to plan my schedule around bookings. If there are any questions or concerns regarding this, feel free to let me know when making a request.
Où votre animal séjournera
Caractéristiques du logement
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
Every pet that is in my care during a walk or home visit will recieve all that is needed to feel safe, healty, happy, and comfortable. I can adjust to the pet's needs: if they are more active and sociable, I can be more hands-on and outdoorsy. If they are more of a homebody and reserved, I can stay inside and allow the pet to warm up to me on their own time. If the pet has any special needs, I can provide adequate care as long as their needs are made known and described in detail. I live with a roommate, but she will not be involved in your pet's care and most likely will not see your pet at all, as she is away most of the time. I will be the sole caregiver unless there is an emergency, in which case I will contact you and explain the situation.
Animaux
Une journée type
I am fairly new to the area, so I would enjoy a day out with your pet to just explore and find new places. If your pet is more active, we can find a park to play in and socialize with other furry friends. At home, I will try to provide new snacks for them to try, and make up fun games to play. If your pet is a cuddler, we can spend the day relaxing on the couch or in bed watching television together.
