Pet care experience

Scottsdale In-Home Pet Care

Animals thrive on consistency, patience, and genuine attention — and I truly enjoy providing that. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 9 years old, and working with animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I take seriously and hope to build my future around. I’m comfortable with both energetic, playful dogs who love long walks and stimulation, as well as calm, cuddly companions who prefer a relaxed environment. I adapt to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you’re away. I specialize in in-home care so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment, and I’m happy to travel to Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and surrounding Phoenix areas for extended stays. I have hands-on experience with: • Puppies (including potty training reinforcement and structured routines) • Multiple-dog households • Large breeds and strong pullers • Daily walks and exercise • Feeding routines and enrichment • Senior dog care • Sick pets and administering medications • Bathing and basic grooming I understand how important structure is for puppies and how different each dog’s personality can be. I’m patient, attentive, and confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, maintain secure environments, and communicate consistently so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. My goal is simple: To give you peace of mind and provide your pet with loving, dependable care in their own home.

House Sitting • Dec 24, 2022

Ayanna is very patient with our senior dog who needs a lot of care, attention, and medication. She is also great with our two other dogs and is able to take care of all three of them and our house while we are away on vacation. I highly recommend Ayanna for all dog needs and house sitting!

House Sitting • Nov 20, 2022

Ayanna took great care of my senior dogs and puppy and gave them medicine as required. She also cleaned up after the one who is not house trained and made sure we came home to a clean house. I would highly recommend her for all dog and house sitting needs!

To provide the best care possible, I appreciate knowing: • Your pet’s daily routine (feeding times, walk schedule, sleep habits) • Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies • Behavioral tendencies (anxiety, reactivity, fear of loud noises, etc.) • How they interact with other dogs or people • House rules (furniture access, crate use, off-limit areas) • Emergency contact and preferred vet information If your pet is a puppy, I also like to know about potty training progress and any training cues you’re currently reinforcing. The more I understand about your pet’s personality and routine, the better I can keep their environment consistent and stress-free while you’re away.
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.
