I'm an entrepreneur, running a health coaching business from home full-time. The bulk of my work is remote, and I have rare occasions where I do in-person offerings. So I will be home with your pet most of the time.

Aspiring neighborhood "dog lady"

Pet care experience

Since the age of 12, there has never been more than two years of my life when I didn't have a dog. This new role as a Rover sitter is dedicated to my last furry friend, Pluto, who I tragically had to surrender last year. For five years, I trained, cared for and loved Pluto deeply, and I believe that paying it forward by caring for other dogs now, will be the perfect healing salve. I have experience caring for dogs of all kinds—including those with special needs (dietary restrictions, health conditions, etc). I have raised puppies and held older dogs through end-of-life care. I love being outdoors, I love a good routine (Virgo alert!) and I love... to love.

Iyana is so great! She's super friendly and communicative and our Mel took to her so quickly! She's a great host for doggy day care as her place is quiet and she works from home. Will definitely be using her more in the future!

Iyana was an amazing sitter for Nance. She kept me updated and made me feel reassured that Nance was safe and happy at all times which I really appreciated given how anxious my girl can be. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter for their fur baby.
