Pet care experience

Experienced animal carer.

I'm a former zoo keeper with many years of experience in both exotic and domestic animals. I've owned both cats and dogs throughout all my life and have experience with caring for friends and family pets. I have previous experience working in a cattery so have a vast knowledge on how to respond to different cats needs and behaviours. I will always update you with messages and photos during my visits to keep you informed.

I am happy to do meet and greet sessions to get to know your pet better so they will feel at ease when I visit them later. I am calm, quiet and reassuring and will learn your pets behaviours so I can appropriately care for them and their needs!

Dayna is an exceptional caregiver! She recently looked after my Frenchie, Jim, for a few days, and she knew exactly how to perfectly handle him. Dayna brings an incredible background of working with all sorts of animals for a very long time—ranging from domestic pets to big cats—which gives her an unmatched intuition for safe and loving care. In fact, whenever Jim is showing unusual behavior or I have an issue with him, Dayna is always the very first person I think of to reach out to. Her customer service is stellar, complete with regular photo updates and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind while away. If you need a deeply experienced, reliable, and wonderful pet sitter on Rover, I couldn't recommend Dayna enough!

Dayna has loved animals basically all of her life and would be the best loving pet caregiver. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who requires someone to care for their animals.

​Dayna has a lifetime of experience caring for animals. Her deep knowledge stems from looking after family and friends' pets since childhood, as well as her professional background at an established zoo, where she was responsible for big cats and animals of all shapes and sizes (and personalities). She is deeply committed to animal welfare, highly dependable, and exceptionally qualified to handle any pet's routine and unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your animals are in her capable, trustworthy hands.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dayna to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets. She is absolutely amazing with our two dogs, and we always feel totally at ease knowing they are in her care. Our bigger dog can be quite needy and vocal, but she understands him incredibly well. She knows exactly how he likes to play, gives him plenty of attention, and he absolutely adores her. Her degree in Animal Behaviour really shows in the way she interacts with our dogs. She is patient, understands their individual personalities and body language, and always uses positive reinforcement with them. Dayna is incredibly reliable and genuinely loves and cares about animals. Whenever she looks after our dogs, she keeps us regularly updated with messages and lots of photos, so we always know what they’ve been up to and can see that they’re happy and settled. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. I would 100% trust Dayna to look after our dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, knowledgeable and dependable.

Dayna is a caring, trustworthy and knowledgable person with a background in the animal care profession. She took great care of my dog whilst we were away, highly recommend.

Dayna is a very patient and loving carer of animals of all varieties. On many occasions, she has helped us with all sorts of responsibilities, from house-sitting and caring for our Alaskan Malamute and Jack Russell to looking after and maintaining our flock of chickens. She also has a fantastic professional background working with a wide variety of animals, from household pets to incredibly exotic species, having spent several years working with animals at well-renowned zoos in Kent. Most importantly for me, she is exceptionally patient and consistently uses positive reinforcement when working with animals. She has an excellent eye for recognising changes in behaviour, temperament and body language, which allows her to understand how an animal is feeling and respond appropriately. I have always felt completely confident leaving our animals in Dayna's care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable and genuinely caring to look after their pets.
