Experienced Animal Science Student!

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm Layni, an avid animal lover with my B.S. in Animal Science from LSU. Back in Louisiana, I was very involved with animal-related clubs, volunteer organizations, and the Honors College. I can't wait to share all I’ve learned about animal husbandry, behavior, and care with your animals- as they deserve the utmost care and attention. I have 7+ years of experience handling both large and small dogs and cats of all temperaments, due to my experiences working at my local animal shelter and volunteering in university. My availability is pretty flexible due to my student schedule outside of time in class, and I can guarantee nothing but the best for your furry family members. :) Let's plan a meet + greet! I also have experience administering medication, working patiently with elderly pets, and handling exotic animals. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently working part-time and ensure your pet's specific care needs are met within my schedule. I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment and this makes me available for Rover sitting and boarding part-time! I abide by owner care instructions, and ensure those care details are carried out in the home. I will happily use familiar commands with your pet and make sure their routine is as similar to normal as possible.

This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have had Layni watch our pup. I’ve communicated with a few sitters on here and Layni was by far the most professional. From the booking request to picking up our dog, and everything in between, Layni kept in touch to ensure we were on the same page. We would love to book with her again in the future!

I cannot describe how AMAZING Layni was! I have a pittie named Otis and Layni sat at my house for Otis while I was away on a trip. She sent me incredible photos of Otis the entire weekend and played with him and treated him like family. I would recommend Layni for any type of sitting, I trust her entirely!

Layni was a life-saver! We were visiting from out of town with our dog and were going to be at an event for about 10 hours. So we needed someone to walk him while we were away. Layni was responsive, punctual and a very warm and caring person. Her love of animals is apparent and we felt very comfortable having her care for our dog. I would highly recommend her!

I don't currently board animals in my apartment, however, I prefer animals staying in the environment they're most comfortable in anyway: home! I prefer written care instructions and follow them to a tee to ensure your pet receives the care they deserve.

Information Layni K. would like to know about your pet

What breed? What is their general temperament around strangers? Are they house-trained? Are they active and need a lot of outdoors time or do they prefer to spend most of their time being pet and played with indoors? Tell me anything you think I should know about your furry friend that will help me provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I live a pretty active lifestyle, and if your pet does too- they'll tag along with me! I love long walks, dog parks (if socialized), and to play fetch or frisbee if that's their thing. If they prefer to chill, we'll hang at home and lounge around. I adapt my day to your pet's unique temperament and routine!
