I am currently working part-time at Kent State University as a Graduate Assistant. The most time I spend in my office is about 4-6hrs per day. On the weekends I am home in Chardon. I will be able to accommodate your animals needs if needed on the weekends, and during the week. I will be home for the summer, but I will be moving down to the Kent area in the fall

About Layne S.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure that I meet the dog before I ever start taking care of them. As for walks, I would be sure to give them love before and after long walks. If I were to stay with them, I would ensure the pet and I would have time to play, go potty and a walk, as well eat dinner together so a bond and trust would be built. The pet would stay at their house so they wouldn’t be scared in a new setting.

Information Layne S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has anytime dietary restrictions or allergies. Please also let me know if there is any special medication they need to be taking or if they follow a strict routine.

A typical day

Dogs typically love mental stimulation, so activities like snuffle mats or treat finders would be a go to. As a person with extremely lazy dogs, letting the pet chew on a toy or maybe even just trying to get them to play with the toy would be one way to get them to do an activity. I in general would just play with the dogs all day

Pet care experience

I have grown up around animals and when I was 6 years old my family adopted our first dog. Since then, I have understood the importance around having an animal in your life, yet also the responsibility it brings with it. At the age of 12 I joined my sister in her dog walking business. Each day we would walk our neighbors dogs after school whilst making sure they went potty and were properly cared for via instructions given to us. As we grew older we started to watch them over night on weekends, and go with our neighbors to places where they needed help with their dogs. Dogs are not just pets…they are family. I have used that time as a dog walker to grow my own personal experience watching other families pets. I have since watched one family’s two dogs for three summers in a row due to the amount of trust and loyalty I have built with them. I can take care of any type of dog that you may have. Small, medium, large; young, adult, senior. It does not matter to me. I love them all and would enjoy watching as well as taking care of them.

Layne cared for our 3 dogs for 4 years while she was in high school. She walked them every day, jumped in to feed & care more for them when we were out of town. She is good & reliable with other animals as well.

Layne has been walking dogs for 7 years for us and others in our neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Layne as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Layne is detail oriented and responsive. She loves all dogs and will treat others dogs as if they were her own.
