Availability

I am currently back home from my college campus for the summer! I do care for two of my own pets and will need to be with them while my mom is working/away throughout the next month, so I am the most free to pet sit during afternoons and nights, but still have morning availability most days :)

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with a small fenced in outdoor area, as well as loads of space & grass to walk around on outside of that fence! We also have 2 parks :) My complex houses several other dog owners, all of which are leashed while walking in common spaces. My cat and dog are both very friendly and sociable with other pets. They can also be left to lounge around upstairs if needed while boarding other pets! I do not own a dog crate. I have several cat and dog toys, as well as dog beds, bathroom pads, treats, etc. As I have experience with pet sitting for others before, it is easy for me to adjust to different care styles for pets with needs different than mine, and adhere to their routines!

Pet care experience

I was born into a family with a cat that I grew up with! I got my first dog at 7. Ever since, I’ve been a mom to two more cats and one more dog. My dog is extremely anxious, which has provided me with the needed experience for dogs like her. I’ve walked and pet sat for my family members, as well as my friends and their family member’s dogs while they’ve gone away for vacations or had to spend nights away from home. This includes a couple of big sheepdogs! I am very experienced in caring for pets of all sorts, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, diets, and care needs!

Aya was an incredible dog sitter for our 6-year-old Shih Tzu Louie! Her rate was extremely reasonable and she was very communicative every step throughout our pet’s stay. She asked thorough questions and provided frequent updates on how he was doing with photos too! Her home seemed very comfortable and she didn’t have too many pets there at once which was great for our older dog who can definitely have a lot of anxiety and be grouchy at times! I would recommend Aya to anyone looking for high quality reliable care at an unbeatable price! We’ll definitely be using her in the future she is truly one-of-a-kind!

Aya was awesome! She watched my pup for a 2 days. She sent pictures of Lucky and sent messages to assure me that he was doing well. I will definitely reach out to Aya to watch Lucky next time!!
