Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs and cats, and love getting to know their unique personality! I’m happy to care for them in the way that suits them best.

Information Laila D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any quirks or behaviors about your pet that I should take into consideration. Anything you think is important to mention to someone who is going to be getting to know your fur baby. :)

A typical day

We’ll take long walks exploring all the smells the neighborhood has to offer, stopping as many times as the lil pup desires. Once we get back from the walk, I’ll be sure to provide clean fresh water for them to hydrate and a treat for doing so well (if that’s allowed, of course.) For cat visits, I will respect their space and let them get to know me on their own time since I know cats can be a little more shy. I’ll make sure their food and water bowls are fresh and clean, and play or cuddle with them if they show that they’re wanting attention. No matter the pet, I love spending quality time with them and meeting their needs whether it’s running around a park or cuddling on the couch together. I simply want to ensure your pet’s wellness and comfort.

Looking to care for furry friends!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets and have had both cats and dogs for the last 20 years of my life. I love spending time outdoors and having a furry companion alongside my adventures. I believe that each animal has a unique personality and that they all have different needs and requirements that need to be met, which I am more than happy to meet. It is always a blast to get to know people’s pets and to see their personality come out even more over time and our bond and the trust between us grows. I am very responsible and am passionate about animal wellness. I will take care of your furry family as if they were my own. Let me know how I can help. :)

Laila is the first person my dog has trusted enough to go on walks with, which says a lot about Laila because Violet doesn’t like most people. I have a busy schedule and Laila’s communication always makes figuring out schedules easy. Getting photos from their walks is always a highlight of my day. Laila is punctual and kind.

I have 2 cats who have been taken care of by Laila for many many years. I like to think that my cats wish they could come on trips with me but with the way Laila cares for them I’m convinced they barely notice I’m gone. Laila is very patient with them and I know for certain it makes them feel more at ease because Laila meets them where they’re at. I’m always appreciative of Laila’s attention to detail like water bowls being refreshed diligently, the area around the litter box being swept up, solid communication, and their overall organization and ability to manage my cats dietary/medicine needs. It’s obvious how much they care for animals and that they enjoy working with their humans to better understand what their needs might be. Laila is an incredible pet sitter and I highly recommend them!

Laila is the only petsitter i use when i am out of town. They do an excellent job of taking care of our cats (who have many specialty medical needs), are a very kind and caring person, and are very easy to communicate with! i wouldn't trust anyone else with the job.

Laila always takes amazing care of my pets when i have to travel for work! i feel secure leaving them, and even though i miss them, i miss them a little bit less because of the sweet pet photos i receive. Highly recommend working with them.
