Highlights
Pet care experience
Overnight Care for All Pets!
Since a very young age (about 5+), I have been taking care of a myriad of animals and learned animal body language from them. It was incredible and I learned a lot of valuable skills from them. After that, I took up teaching myself how to train dogs (plus puppies and cats) with positive training methods. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding to see how they engage, come together with themselves, and gaining a more fulfilling life. And now I am offering pet sitting! I have a lot of time and availability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. *Note: Puppies must have had all 3 of their puppy shots in order for me to accept.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for my client's home with respect and great care. I like to keep things clean and feeling good for everyone. The pets I will be a good friend to, treating them with kindness, play time, exercise if needed, and being consistent with their desired routine.
Ratings and reviews
Walela was great! She even got our shy dog to open up to her. Came back to a clean house and happy pups. Couldn't ask for anything more. Would highly recommend her! Thanks again!
Walela did a fantastic job caring for our three big dogs over three nights. The dogs were happy and well taken care of, and the house was left spotless. We truly appreciate the great care and would definitely book again in the future!
Walela has worked for us as a Pet Sitter while we were out of town, and also as an occasional dog walker as needed. This involved greeting, playing, feeding/watering, cleaning up, and double checking security. All went well and I appreciated her updates to me. She has a lot of animal experience and was quite thorough and conscientious about her duties. While we had someone else looking after our cats (we had a lot of animals on complicated schedules) she is also deeply fond of cats and has lived with multiple cats for a long time. Walking our dogs is challenging as they are of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, but she managed it quite well. She did not seem to be phased by my painfully detailed instructions, either. Ha! She is reliable and honest and I can recommend her confidently.
I first noticed Walela's "Add" because she stated: "do you know your dog will be trained as well as walked with me?". She was absolutely correct! Walela has a very calm, quiet and controlled presentation that immediately (still) gets my dog's attention after at least 6 months of weekly walks. My 3yr. old Australian Shepard is always so happy when Walela arrives because my dog knows she is in for some genuine mental stimulation during their time together. She has never stood us up by missing a walk. After their time is finished I always get a texted update on my dog's behavior, as well as exactly what they worked on. And I appreciate Walela's consistent communication RE: her availability. I know I won't have her near-by forever to help with my Lille, but I sure do appreciate her as a kind, reliable person, and a sensitive walker/trainer for my crazy dog.
