Day is an amazing trainer and pet caregiver! I have a Dachshund with a huge personality, and I first left her with Day when she was about 3 months old. In just 10 days, my puppy learned to use pee pads consistently, started sleeping on her own, and made incredible progress with her separation anxiety. One of the things I loved most was that Day treated her like family. She spent time with Day’s sweet Labrador, Dana, and even her cat. They played together, ate together, and it gave my puppy the confidence and socialization she needed. By the time I picked her up, she was noticeably calmer, happier, and so much better behaved. I’m honestly devastated that Day moved away because finding another pet nanny like her has been nearly impossible. She genuinely loves animals, is incredibly patient, and goes above and beyond for every pet in her care. I can’t recommend Dayana highly enough for puppies or dogs of any age. Your furry family member will be in the best hands.

We have an elderly dog who had back surgery so stairs a no no and you have to pick her up frequently. Dayana was informed and was amazing! Zailey loves to cuddle with her so we know she's a good human that you can trust. Thank you Day from us and Zailey <3

The other weekend, I wanted to go out with my friends, but I couldn’t because I’ve always been responsible for taking care of Lylo. At the last minute, I found this amazing pet sitter, and it turned out to be the best decision. I dropped Lylo off at her apartment, and from the moment I walked in, I knew she would be in good hands. Her apartment feels like a little sanctuary, full of beautiful plants and surrounded by a peaceful, calming atmosphere. It was the perfect place for Lylo to relax and feel at home. Lylo absolutely loved her from the very beginning. She was kind, patient, and knew exactly how to make Lylo feel comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, she’s incredibly responsible and truly knows what she’s doing. That means everything when you’re leaving someone you love in another person’s care. I would definitely trust her with Lylo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.

I’ve trusted Day with my cat Max several times, and I honestly wouldn’t leave him with anyone else. My cat is very shy and usually hides whenever he’s around new people, so I was worried about leaving him while I traveled. Day took the time to earn his trust instead of forcing interactions, and within a couple of days he was following her around the house, asking for pets, and acting completely at home. She kept me updated with photos and little stories every day, which made being away so much easier. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and stress-free—a huge difference from past experiences with other sitters. You can tell that Day truly understands animal behavior and treats every pet as if it were her own. She creates a safe, loving environment, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for someone to care for your cat like family, I can’t recommend Dayana enough. She’s patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what she does.

I highly recommend Dayana for any pet care services on Rover. She has an extraordinary, natural sensitivity when it comes to dogs, and animals truly thrive under her care. She has a unique ability to connect with them, offering a calming, affectionate, and reassuring presence that immediately puts pets at ease. Beyond her wonderful bond with animals, Dayana stands out for her outstanding work ethic and professionalism. She is exceptionally responsible, punctual, and highly attentive to detail—especially when it comes to following specific dietary routines, medication schedules, or safety instructions. Her warm, positive, and pleasant demeanor makes communication completely effortless, giving pet owners total peace of mind while they are away. Any pet owner would be incredibly lucky to have Dayana look after their beloved dogs. She is completely trustworthy, dedicated, and has my highest recommendation without reservation.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my husband in a pet-friendly apartment in NoDa with an elevator, so there are no stairs to worry about. We currently don’t have any resident pets, creating a calm environment that works especially well for senior dogs, anxious pets, and pets who prefer having the space to themselves. I’ve had animals my entire life. I raised and trained my own Labrador Retriever from the time she was 47 days old, and she was my best friend for 11 wonderful years. I also recently cared for both my senior Labrador and my senior cat through their health challenges, so I’m comfortable following routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy grooming and helping puppies learn good habits through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and right at home. To provide personalized care, I keep my bookings small. Occasionally, there may be one other friendly guest staying at the same time, depending on compatibility and everyone’s comfort level. If your pet does best as the only pet, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Depending on each dog’s energy level and the weather, we’ll go for walks, play, or simply hang out together as I go about my day—just like I did with my own Labrador. When I’m not at the café working, my husband and I also work from home, and he loves pets just like i do, so they will be 99% of the time in company, napping, relaxing sunbathing sessions by the balcony window. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, included, and right at home.
