Pet care experience

Trusted Care, Happy Paws

Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — and after 15 years of hands-on experience, that passion has only grown. Neighbors, families, and friends have trusted me with their most important family members, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra love and patience. I know that every dog is different. Some need structure, some need snuggles, and some need both. I tailor my care to each individual pet, so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy — not just watched over. Feeding routines, bath time, leash manners, and everything in between? I've got it covered. What you'll get is more than a dog sitter. You'll get a consistent, communicative caregiver who treats your dog like my own — and keeps you updated every step of the way so you can relax knowing they're in great hands

Ayana took great care of my dog on short notice! I would definitely recommend going with Ayana if you need someone to loom after your pup.

Ayana took great care of my girl while I was away! She sent daily updates, was quick to respond, and helped me out by applying flea treatment while I was gone. I would recommend her to anyone :)

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are non-negotiable for me. In your home, I follow your established routines closely — familiar smells, familiar schedules, and familiar surroundings go a long way toward keeping pets calm and confident. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, supervised, and loving space where they're treated like family from the moment they arrive. You'll never have to wonder how things are going — I keep pet parents informed with regular updates throughout every visit.

Pets

A typical day

No two dogs are exactly alike, so no two days look exactly the same. We might start with a brisk morning walk to burn off energy and explore new smells, head to a nearby park for open space and some off-leash fun, then wind down with interactive games that keep their mind sharp. Afternoons usually include plenty of belly rubs, quiet downtime, and cuddles — because a balanced dog is a happy dog. Every day is built around what your pet needs most.

The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them. Before your first booking, I'd love to hear about their daily routine, feeding schedule, any medications or health needs, and anything that makes them feel safe or anxious. Knowing their personality — whether they're a social butterfly, a velcro dog, or somewhere in between — helps me tailor their experience from day one. No detail is too small, and no question is off-limits.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
