Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Ayana, and I’m 25 years old. I have a passion for working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work professionally in a dog daycare/boarding environment, where I spend my days caring for dogs in group play settings, monitoring behavior, supporting enrichment activities, and making sure every pup stays safe and has fun! I’ve had animals by my side for as long as I can remember and currently have a kitten of my own who completely runs the household. I also have a senior cat who still lives with my mom and will forever be my first baby. Through both personal and professional experience, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after your pets.

I can't thank Ayana enough for taking care of my little Jasper while we were away on a last-minute trip. She was absolutely amazing! Her love and dedication to caring for him were evident, and it brought me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We came back to a happy and well-cared for Jasper and I could tell he had a great time. I highly recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you for being so wonderful!!
