Safety, trust & environment

When in a clients home I try to keep the environment as normal as possible and close to any routine that may be established in order to cause less stress for the animal as well as to ensure that the animal will be cared for appropriately and correctly based in instructions for owners

Information Layla Z. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or disabilities. As well as any triggers or problem areas to avoid or help them cope with. Medication or dietary restrictions and instructions. Specific fears and allergies or any other issues that would improve safety and quality of my time with your animal

A typical day

I typically will do basic games such as “go find” games in order to stimulate all senses and keeping them interested with the reward of finding treats. I also can run with your dog if they are more high energy and prefer a more intense exercise. As well as maintain and training or routine

Pets

Comfortable caring for any animal

Pet care experience

I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets at a time as well as large or high maintenance animals. Flexible scheduling for each service. I have a dog and cats in my household, both are people and animal friendly. I have experience owning multiple pets at a time as well as more exotic or less common pets such as reptiles, rodents, and fish. I a have worked with dogs professionally since 18 and have been a dog trainer since 19. I also have experience in various dog sports and am currently a novice in schutzhund and am working towards by first BH. I specialize in sever cases such as aggressive dogs, reactivity, bite history, and rescue dogs. But I also am experienced with lower caliber cases such as basic obedience and puppy training. I have strong communication and will do everything to ensure I care for your pet properly accordingly to any requests or directions given to me. I am willing to learn and adapt to you and your pets requirements or preferences.

Layla took great care of our boys! She was very interested in and attentive to their individual personalities and needs and communicated very well with us. We especially appreciated her anticipation and attention to their stress during the NYE fireworks.

Layla helped me on very short notice and put my mind at ease :) She was great with my pups and we will be using her again if needed. Thank you so much! :)

Layla was wonderful! She was very communicative and did such a great job with all of our pets. She was also so flexible and able to help us out in a last minute family emergency where she could watch our fur babies an extra night. Thank you so much, Layla!!

Layla was wonderful! She took excellent care of all four of our fur babies. I’m extremely impressed with how well she cared for one of our dogs who accidentally cut her paw outside in our back yard. Her pet/animal first aid is on point, and I appreciated her great communication throughout all of it. I would highly recommend Layla! :)
