Highlights
Pet care experience
Genuine, compassionate, respectful
I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have eight years of professional experience working as a dog bather and groomer. I also completed veterinary medicine courses through Orange-Ulster BOCES and community college, giving me additional knowledge of animal health and behavior. I have previous dog-sitting experience and am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, lots of cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll provide them with loving, dependable care. As an added bonus, I can also provide basic grooming services during visits, including baths, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning if requested.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I will follow your instructions closely to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away. As a professional dog bather and groomer with previous pet-sitting experience, I’m experienced handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or extra patience, I’ll provide the same love and care I would give my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. If requested, I can also provide basic grooming services such as baths, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning during my visits.
Ratings and reviews
What makes Ayana an amazing pet caregiver ? She loves my fur babies as her own. I have never doubted her skills once. She makes me feel so comfortable leaving her with my babies. She always makes sure they are comfortable, fed, hydrated, and clean. My fur babies have a schedule and special food and she always makes sure to do everything the way instructed but also goes out of her way to make sure my fur babies feel loved and safe. My dog and cats love her so much they get so excited to see her everytime. It makes me so happy as a pet owner to see my fur babies love someone as much as they love me. I couldn’t ask for a more productive and ambitious person to take care of my fur family.

Schedule
I’m currently a professional dog bather and groomer working about 30 hours a week, so caring for dogs is already a part of my daily life! I have previous dog-sitting experience and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’m generally available after 4:00 PM on weekdays, with additional availability on weekends. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet before booking to make sure we’re a great fit. I also offer basic grooming services during boarding or daycare, including baths, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and more.

- Please let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, medical conditions, fears, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks. I’d also like to know how they interact with other dogs and people, whether they have any training commands they respond to, and any grooming needs you’d like me to help with. The more I know beforehand, the better I can provide safe, personalized care and make your pet feel right at home.
