Safety, trust & environment

My priority is the health and happiness of your pet, and a respect for your home. I understand it can be stressful for our pets to meet and adapt to new people, so I will do my best to make them feel safe and cared for. I will also ensure to leave your home as I found it and clean up after myself and your fur babies.

Information Layla G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets are reactive to other cats, dogs, or children. Additionally, please let me know of any health conditions, even if they are managed, so I may alert you of any concerning behavior/symptoms.

A typical day

I am happy to do whatever your pet prefers! Whether that’s exploring new places outside, chasing each other in the backyard, playing with toys, or snuggling on the couch.

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I used to take care of farm animals every summer - the goats and barn cats were my favorite. In college, I pursued a degree in Animal Science and worked as a vet assistant & receptionist for 4 years while also volunteering at an animal shelter. I have cared for a variety of pets of different ages, temperaments, and health statuses and know how to adapt for their needs. I made a career pivot away from veterinary medicine several years ago, and I sincerely miss making new furry friends, so I would love to get to know yours!

This was the first time Layla cared for our dog, but her experience really shows. She is friendly, communicative, and thorough. Would happily book with her again 🙂

Layla took great care of our cat Mosey. She was very attentive and gave great, detailed notes on how Mosey was doing. Layla communicated with us throughout the week we were gone and our cat kitty was very happy with Layla’s company. I definitely recommend Layla for pet care.

Once again Layla did an excellent job with Maple. She was timely, communicative, and caring, and made sure to send pictures so I could see how Maple was doing while I was out of town. She did a great job of making sure Maple took her medication and tracking how much water she was drinking during the heat wave. I will absolutely book with Layla again.

Layla was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They take some time to warm up to new people and Layla went at their pace. Within just a few visits the dogs were in love with her! Layla is very communicative about her visits and sends great picture updates. We’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you, Layla!!
