Pet care experience
I’m a pet lover and animal lover. I grew up with practically a zoo in my home from a very young age. My neighbor was a veterinarian and that is where my first lesson on how to care for animals properly stemmed from. He taught me how to read the body language of animals, how to properly groom them, how to efficiently train them, and most important to gain their trust. Most of my experience stems from taking care of my family pets as well as my neighbors. I have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, and many other pets. I am comfortable walking, feeding, grooming, playing and caring for them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters through high school on the weekends. I am an energetic college student with a flexible schedule excited to meet and care for your pets. Just think of me as your pet’s new buddy!
Reviews
Visits ended well and dogs were taken care of. Disappointing beginning of the booking, as the first day was missed-leaving dogs alone for 24 hrs- and request to rebook for more money in the middle of the booking was concerning.
Ayana is the best! She watched out Teacup Yorkie Princess for an entire week as I worked overseas in Japan. She is reliable, trustworthy, and kept me updated with pictures. Princess has separation anxiety and Ayana knew just how to handle her. She met with her three times before the week long stay to ensure that she would be comfortable with her. It’s safe to say that my little baby stuck to her like glue, Ayana even took Princess to the grocery store with her. The communication with Ayana was seamless and I appreciate her for being beyond great to my little baby.
My wife and I met Ayana while she was working locally in our neighborhood. Each time we ran into her, she was always kind and sweet. Eventually we asked if she would be open to walking our then three year old French Terrier in the afternoon and evenings. Soon, she was watching our hyper little guy for weekend trips. Jax loved Ayana from the very start. She groomed him, played with him, and ensured he was well fed and taken care of. We moved away to upstate New York and we haven’t found anyone who makes Jax as happy as she did.

Information Ayana D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how many dogs or pets I’ll be caring for, if they are allergic to anything, any health related issues, do your pets receive rewards if so what kind, how do you deal with bad behavior, and are there any triggers that make your pets scared or excited. Will I be doing any extra services? How long are your pets comfortable with being left alone? In the case of a medical emergency, would you rather me wait for you or bring them to their vet?
A typical day
Firstly, I’ll always ask the owner what they are comfortable with beforehand. Normal activities such: walks, fetch, and a trip to the dog park. Enrichment games: puzzle toys, flirt pole/flirt stick, or scent games.
