About Laila T.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety is my first priority. In a client’s home I will keep a close set of eyes on your pup, ensuring every one of their needs are taken care of. This means staying focused on the pet and cautious of the environment, such as steering clear of other dogs that could potentially be unfriendly, keeping an eye out for distracted drivers, anticipating lunges at cats, squirrels, etc. I also make sure dogs don’t eat anything off of the street, get overheated, or distressed in any way. As a dog TLC volunteer at the Peninsula Humane Society/ASPCA, I received critical training on how to hold a leash properly to maintain control of the dog at all times.
Information Laila T. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed or size bias—I love all friendly dogs! Prior to my first visit with your dog, I would like to know if your dog has any health concerns, dietary restrictions, allergies, or if they take any medications. I would like to know about any history of specific behaviors such as triggers, fears, and how your dog interacts with other dogs and people. If your dog is shy or anxious with meeting new people, I can schedule a couple of visits with you before any overnight care to bond with your dog. I find that doing their favorite thing with them – whether walks, treats, or playing fetch – helps to lessen their anxiety and help build our bond. Lastly, I prefer to have an emergency contact, in case there was an issue and I couldn’t get ahold of you, and the contact information for your vet.
A typical day
I am happy to customize the adventure to what suits your dog best! I like to be physically active so playing with any favorite balls or toys, going to new parks, or long walks are all activities I am open to! For senior dogs, I can take shorter, more leisurely walks.

Pet care experience
I have taken a few years off but I am ready to start connecting with your pups again! :) Started volunteering at my local animal shelter in the Bay Area when I was 13 and worked there for 6 years. There I received professional training on walking and dog behavior with hundreds of different dogs. I even ended up adopting my own Staffy pitbull from there! On a personal note, I grew up in an animal loving home surrounded by furry, feathered, and scaly friends all of which I am also comfortable caring for!
Reviews
Laila has been an amazing dog walker and loving friend to our fuzzy family members. I just had the opportunity to have Laila house-sit. All went very smoothly. My senior dog requires meds given morning and night. Laila was attentive to all her dog care needs! Laila even updated daily on how things were going. My home was in great order when I returned. I highly recommend Laila, she’s the best!
Laila was awesome in walking our persnickety Corgi two days in a row! Made my being out of town so less stressful! Thank you, Laila!
Laila was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice. My anxious pup did amazing with her. She was on time. She provided care and compassion for my dog. I cannot recommend her enough!
Great service, communication and loved all of the updates!
