Pet care experience

♥️ Puppy Paradise ♥️

I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them! I fostered dogs while in high school, have had pups of my own for years, and currently have two small, lovable dogs who bring me so much joy. I’m originally from Florida, and when I moved to NYC in 2016, I started working with dogs through Rover—and I’ve been hooked ever since! In 2021, I moved to the Bay Area for a job as a scientist. After losing my dad in March 2024, I moved back home to Florida and am now a full-time student again, pursuing marine science. Dog sitting has been the perfect way to support myself through school while doing something that truly fills my heart. I’ve been working with amazing clients on Rover since 2016 and have loved every minute of it! I treat every dog like they’re part of the family—showered with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Your pup will also have my two friendly dogs to hang with in the house and backyard if they stay with us. I’m available daily for walks and drop-in visits and would be thrilled to meet your furry best friend!

Dayna did a great a job taking care of Luna for over two weeks. She has boarded Luna multiple times already and we always had a great experience. I highly recommend her!

Chance stayed over at Dayna's for Christmas and New Years. He had a blast there, playing with friends. We will always be thankful for Dayna who has taken care of Chance in times of need! We also love getting pictures of him while we are away.

Dayna and her family took excellent care of Duke when we were out of town during the winter break. We have boarded Duke with Dayna before as well and he likes it there !

Dayna does an amazing job taking care of my dog, Bear! I know she’s in good hands and can feel at ease leaving her there.

Pets

A typical day

Our pups, along with our regular clients will welcome your pup with open arms into our home. We have tons of toys and treats to keep your babies entertained. We can take your pup on walks or to the dog park occasionally. If for some reason all the pups in our care don’t get along, we have large spaces in our home partioned off to make sure everyone stays safe.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Dayna can host up to 4 pets per night
Please let us know if your pup has any special needs such as dietary restrictions or if they’re on any medicines. We like to know how often and how much food your pup eats daily if we’re responsible for feeding them on their stay and how often they need potty breaks or if they’re house trained. Also, please let us know any quirks your dog has that we need to be aware of. Thanks!
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.
