Information Layla J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any and all behaviors you deem relevant for me to know! This can range from “she likes to cuddle” to “he is very leash reactive.” When in doubt, everything is relevant!

A typical day

I’m a big advocate for mental stimulation! I aim to not only excessive your pup physically, but get their brains working to tire them out mentally as well!

Full time animal lover!

Pet care experience

Growing up as the daughter of a vet, on a farm, with a whole lot of strange animals, I've seen it all! Animals are, and have always been, my life. I am a full-time pet sitter and artist, and have very flexible availability to host, walk, and entertain your fur baby( and so much more!) I'm a short walk from Prospect Park and love to explore with your pups! I also have plenty of experience with cats and exotics, from lizards to livestock! No creature is too small or odd for me to love. I have particular experience with sick, elderly and injured animals too, and don't shy away from the nitty gritty! I am open to boarding as well, but due to having my own particular old puppy, each will be reviewed case by case. I look forward to chatting and loving on your bestest fur friends!

Layla’s great - responsive and responsible - she shd has walked my pup Phoebe several times and I plan to continue using her in the future! Would definitely recommend.

Layla came every evening for 10 nights to take our pup out for walks while I recovered from surgery. She was punctual, reliable and friendly with our reluctant, nervous dog. She got Rosie to look forward to seeing her and was so patient and sweet with Rosie. We’d absolutely book Layla again, Rosie will look forward to seeing her friend! Highly recommend

Layla walked my pup Phoebe for the first time recently. I haven't met her in person yet, but she seemed great on the phone and was very responsive and adaptable! I am planning to her again in the future for housesitting as well as walking.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
