Experienced Pet Lover 🐶💕

I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other family pets. I’ve raised pets my entire life and have been fully responsible for my own dog since I was 16. I understand routines, body language, safety, and how to make pets feel comfortable and loved. Your pet will be cared for with patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion!

Laylah was incredibly flexible and responsive to our changing needs. I appreciated how she communicated with me in a timely manner via text and phone. It is obvious she takes her job of keeping pets safe and happy very seriously.

Laylah watched my dog Oreo for a week while I was away on a trip. She sent pictures and videos of him, and I could tell that he was having the best time! We will definitely be booking with her again!!

Laylah was great with Zion. She took her for walks and to the dog park and made sure she felt at home!

Roxie had a wonderful time and was taken care of so well. Laylah did a super job and handled Roxie’s dietary needs like a pro!

Excellent communication with daily photo updates. Left our elderly mutt with Laylah for a few days while we went out of town. She's great to work with.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first with me. I keep a calm, peaceful home and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling and adjusting. I stick closely to their normal schedule and any care instructions you provide so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I have experience caring for a senior dog, so I’m patient, observant, and gentle. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to them. My goal is for you to feel at ease and for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day depends on the pet’s personality and energy level. For senior dogs, that usually means a relaxed pace. Cozy cuddle time, belly rubs, treats (with permission), and a nice long walk so they can enjoy fresh air and sniff around. I’m happy to move at whatever speed makes them comfortable. For more active dogs or puppies, I love getting their energy out with longer walks, park time, or letting them explore nature trails and sniff to their heart’s content. If they enjoy toys, we’ll play. If they prefer affection and companionship, I’m just as happy to sit with them and give them attention. If owners are okay with it, I also love doing little fun extras like pup cups or special outings. I really try to tailor the day to what makes each pet happiest.

Before any stay, I like to go over your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any allergies or medical needs. I also ask about their behavior; such as how they do on walks, around other dogs, in the car, and in new environments. It’s important for me to know if they have any prey drive, food guarding tendencies, separation anxiety, or specific triggers so I can keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also like to confirm if they’re house trained, crate trained (if applicable), and whether they’ve ever shown aggressive behavior. The more I understand your pet ahead of time, the smoother and more stress-free their stay will be.
