Experienced Animal Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Ayana and I have spent my entire life caring for animals. From growing up with horses, dogs, and chickens in Tennessee to traveling the world as a marine mammal specialist, I have made caring for animals my career of choice. I have been working professionally with animals since 2010. I have experience as a veterinary technician, marine mammal trainer, and I am currently working as an Animal Care Specialist in Miami. Aside from my B.S. in Psychology, I have received a Statement of Accomplishment for an online course in Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh through Coursera. I have experience with animals with behavioral needs such as anxiety/reactivity, as well as those with medical issues.

We booked Ayana for our first time using Rover. We are originally from Orlando and needed a last minute dog walker. Ayana was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive, timely, respectful, and we loved the photo updates we received during the day! Anyone would be lucky to have Ayana watch over their pets!

Ayana is awesome! Checked in with us everyday and sent pics, took her time and let Murphy warm up to her. I’d definitely use her again and I highly recommend. Thanks Ayana!

Ayana cares deeply for animals, and my cat and dog love her! She always goes the extra mile for any animal she takes care of, from cats and dogs, to flying squirrels and dolphins. You can be sure that any members of your fur family would be safe and well taken care of with Ayana!

Ayana is THE BEST pet caretaker you will find! She is very knowledgeable with animal care and training. I have seen how compassionate she is with all animals she meets; from puppies to geriatric animals. She cares for them all as if they were her own. Her professionalism and dedication to caring for animals is outstanding and you and your pets will absolutely love her!

I love to make things novel and interesting. Sniffari's are a must! I enjoy giving pets the opportunity to explore and enjoy their walk. We all need mental stimulation and variability and I would love to provide that to your pup.
