Hi, I'm Ayla!

I'm the founder of Heart & Home Pet Care, but my love for animals began long before this business came to be. Growing up on a small family farm, I was fortunate to be surrounded by animals of all kinds. From goats, cows, chickens, and horses to dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I began caring for neighbors' animals at a young age, and what started as something I loved doing grew into a lifelong passion.

For as long as I can remember, I've felt that God blessed me with a special gift for connecting with animals. I've always wanted to understand not just how to care for them, but how they think, why they behave the way they do, and how to build relationships based on trust. Some of my favorite childhood pets were my dog Sebastian, chicken Fancy Feet, and goat Nibbles. Today, I'm blessed to have my horse, Blackjack, and our family dog, Chloe.

Over the years, I've worked alongside experienced horse trainers and gained valuable hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Most recently, I spent June through September working on a ranch owned by Chris Cox and his family in Dubois, Wyoming. It was an incredible opportunity to deepen my experience working with horses while enjoying the mountains through fishing, hiking, and trail riding.

I'm also passionate about health and wellness, and I believe that same thoughtful approach should extend to the animals in our care. Whether it's understanding their individual needs or being mindful of the products and practices used in their care, I strive to make decisions that prioritize their overall well-being.

Heart & Home Pet Care allows me to bring together my love for animals, relationships, and desire to serve others through the gifts God has given me. My hope is that every family I work with feels confident knowing their animals are cared for with patience, compassion, and the same respect I give my own.

I look forward to meeting you and you pet(s)!
