Laying turf after using mini digger

Hello everyone
I’ve recently moved & the previous owner had two dogs who used to dig holes in the garden. My husband initially thought we could level this by hand & reseed, but we’ve ended up using a mini digger to turn the whole area over. We have pulled out quite a bit of the grass, but lots is now mixed in underneath....
Q) Would this cause an issue to any turf we lay on top?
Q) Is there a certain amount of time we should leave the area to settle before laying the turf?
Q) Would you recommend using a weed killer at this stage? What recommendations & how long is required before it’s no longer harmful for new turf (we also have two cats so want to make sure it’s pet friendly too)
Many thanks
