I will treat your pet as my own 🥰

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m Layla! I have always had so much love for animals since I was a little girl. I’ve had so many different pets throughout my life: dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, bunnies, tortoises, lizards, hamster, gerbils, and even a squirrel! Right now I currently have 7 cats… I know it sounds crazy but I just love them all so much. I’ve have 6+ years of pet sitting experience. From dog sitting for family and friends to neighbors and more. I also helped my cat birth 4 of her kittens! I have experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats.

Layla is a natural with both cats and dogs! Our often vocal pup quietly sidled up next to her and fell in love! She was very sweet with our kitties too. She has a gentle manner and is a lovely person to boot. Can’t wait to book her again!!

Layla is incredible, from her first response to my message to the several times I’ve booked her now. She is very professional and replies quicker than anyone I have ever worked with. My boy Rosco is usually shy meeting new people but with Layla it was like he had known her for years. He loved her instantly! She definitely seems to have a natural gift with animals. Layla is also very detailed with everything. She’s a perfectionist in the best way possible and it is super reassuring. She sends me so many amazing photos of Rosco, practically professional level! And she sends me updates with the photos as well, which I really appreciate because he’s my best friend so I always miss him. Knowing that he is in great hands is such a relief to me and worth every cent. I have recommended her to several people and they all love her as well. I seriously can’t recommend her enough, she really does treat your pet as her own!

This was our first time using Layla, and she stayed at our house with our dog Hank - it was a wonderful experience! We have only had Hank for a month (he's a rescue from the south), so we were a little nervous to leave him after having had him such short a time and since he's had some separation anxiety during this transition. Layla came to meet Hank in advance, and it was obvious that she is a total dog person and so kind and caring. He took to her right away and was excited to see her again when she came to stay. She was incredibly responsive and professional - she sent daily pictures/videos/updates and kept us in the loop on everything. In addition to how well she cared for Hank, Layla left our home cleaner than the way she found it. Layla is wonderful, and I recommend her highly...we are already looking forward to the next time she can come stay with Hank!

Layla was wonderful with my 5 cats - my "permanent" cat Prince, and my 4 recent foster rescues. My cats are a challenge because all 5 are skittish and go hiding. Layla made sure she knew where they all were, and when a couple of them hid really well a few times, she contacted me and we figured it out. She was concerned for them as if they were her own. She coaxed them out with play things, and by the end of the week was making headway with them. When I returned from my trip, everything was sparkling clean. I will definitely call Layla again the next time I need a sitter for my cats!

Please let me know anything and everything about your pet that you can think of. That could range from special needs, health issues, behavioral issues, feeding/sleeping schedule, favorite toys, spots they don’t like being pet in, etc. For me there is no such thing as too much information when it comes to your pet! i truly appreciate all the information I can’t get so I can fully understand your pet and give them the best and proper care and treatment ❤️

A typical day

It all depends on the pet! I do things that range from cuddling and giving pets to running around, playing, going on walks, etc. It all depends on your fur baby and what they need or want!
