The ultimate fur baby sitter!!

Pet care experience

I recently graduated from NC State University with a degree in design and a minor in zoology! Now that I’m in post-grad life, I’m working remotely and looking to spend time doing what I love most: hanging out with animals. While I’ve shared most of my life living with cats but dog sitting has actually been my main thing! Long before downloading the Rover app, I was primarily dog sitting for people in person—starting back in 2020 when I pulled double duty babysitting both toddlers and their fur babies. Needless to say, dogs know I'm a trusted friend! From energetic medium and large breeds to the sweetest small pups, I love them all—that absolutely includes our precious senior dogs! I have a huge heart for older pups who just want company to hang out with. Because of my background with cats, I am an absolute pro at routine. I run a tight, loving schedule—timely meals, plenty of playtime and walks, and endless cuddles tailored to exactly what your dog likes. Your pup will be in the safest, most attentive hands. I’ll keep you completely in the loop with consistent updates. Plus, as a design grad, don't be surprised if a a simple portrait of your pet lands in your inbox as a bonus :)

Layla is a fantastic pet sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough. She has incredible attention to detail and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. She also leaves the house looking better than when she arrived. Most importantly, Layla has built a wonderful bond with my elderly dog, who is very picky about pet sitters and does not warm up to just anyone. Seeing how comfortable and happy Mingo is with Layla says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Layla is my partner i’m living with! She’s on top of it when it comes to my cat, we evenly distribute the work to make sure my cat is happy. She will remind me upkeep the litter and clean his water bowl often. She would do the stuff I struggle with such as face cleaning, nail cutting, and a set feeding schedule. My cat loves Layla, Nimbus loves to sit on her lap while working or distracting her whenever he can! You can tell she loves animals and animals love her too :)

Layla was an exceptional sitter to my two dogs, Toby and Tippy. She properly looked over my animals while I was away, making sure they had enough food, water, and outside time. Toby is a more high alert dog when it comes to seeing other animals. Layla was able to carefully take him out with no problems and be alert of her surroundings. I would definitely have Layla watch my dogs again and recommend others to do the same !
