*expectations for overnight stay* a clean bed with fresh sheets, towels, clean bathroom and kitchen. I believe in being as respectful to you and your home as if it were me/my home. By keeping things just as I found it or better.

Information Ayanna S. would like to know about your pet

*Please let me know about normal feeding times, walk times, and allergies. Be upfront about leash walking behavior disclaimers. * *Be upfront if your pet has separation anxiety, uses diapers/ pee pads , or is using a medication that causes change in behavior. * please note pets requiring these accommodations will not be under the standard rate* I love seeing happy / at ease pets! ;D No matter how small or how large, I’m here to accommodate within reason.

A typical day

I love play time! I love playing tug of war with rope or plush toys, fetch frisbees, squeeky chew bones, durable chew / squeeky balls, and I’m also looking into getting a fun sniff and explore mat with pockets for treats. I enjoy playing with the laserlight or feather toy to randomly catch a cat’s eye as well! Belly rubs and naptime are a must. Rest assured your pet’s safety is my greatest concern and you will be notified of every boo boo and beautiful moment your fur baby enjoys ☺️.

Pet care experience

Oh the joy and personality our fur babies bring into our lives! Animals have always brought me joy from my first kitten in pre k! But regardless of species or breed :) I make sure to: walk, feed, play, sing to sleep (ok maybe hum :) with a good belly rub!) I also am great as warm and constant trustworthy company for your home and/or distantly anxious pet) all while keeping owners updated on their fur babies! With pictures and videos of activities. FAQ’s My name is pronounced (eye-ah-na) 😄 I started my pet service business on rover in 2022. My boyfriend’s big muscular dog won me over with his goofy personality and playful smile. Now I love dogs of all sizes. It takes a lot to get me scared. But as a human being , I’d prefer details about your pet’s behavior beforehand. I DO want to meet you and your pet before any visit or walk. I like to cuddle. Being an emotional support human is my specialty 🤗. I also do daily drop in visits to keep company. I love sun bathing! I really have watched ALL those pets in my pictures. I really have had a government job so YES I have been double triple and quadruple -back ground checked. YES I really do JUST want to hang out with your pet(s) and eat snacks. 🤭 Ambiguity is the author of confusion and miscommunication . I prefer clear, concise , and *polite communication. Let’s talk things through and leave no stone un turned 😄Written instructions are always welcome. I don’t assume. and neither should you. Make it plain. I can accommodate most requests at a cost ☺️. I don’t live in your building/house but I am always right down the block! I maintain a small service area of a 15-20 min subway train radius to reach all my clients in a snap!

Ayanna was a great house sitter. She came over for a thorough meet and greet beforehand. During the stay she was great about sending updates and cute pictures to keep my mind at ease. We came back to a spotless house and a happy pup. Would definitely book again!

Always a pleasure to have Ayanna watch our doggo. Very responsive when communicating about booking, arrives a little in advance, and sends lots of pics to keep us posted about how the evening is going. Highly recommend!

Ayanna was attentive, caring, and playful with our cats. She regularly checked in with us and somehow managed to bonded with our shy cat. She gave us peace of mind while we were away from our cats. Thanks Ayanna!
