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 ☺️.

House Sitting • Mar 08, 2026

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!

Drop-In Visits • Jan 06, 2026

Ayanna did not complete the booking as agreed. She was supposed to pickup the keys from my friend in the afternoon then return in the evening to feed and walk my pets, but did not go back to complete the tasks and my dog didn’t get walked nor her and my cat fed that night. The next day, she arrived hours later than she said she would for their morning check-in without letting me know she would be late. She did not follow my written instructions on feeding and care, and overfed my turtle which led to the tank filter becoming clogged and the water was brown and growing algae when i returned home. When i tried to address my concerns with her after the first evening, she blamed it on things my friend had told her that contradicted what we’d agreed. But I was very clear about the schedule and needs, and she didn’t check with me again to make sure anything different was okay if my friend did really tell her something else, which my friend says she didn’t. Because of her unreliability, i had to find a different sitter to take over from her.
