I’m a freelance illustrator and designer. I join in art markets and volunteer for events in Nashville and Chattanooga. When I'm not working, I have a lot of free time where I'm stationed just at home, so I would just stay with your pet and care to their necessities, I would likely leave to just get myself some food, or check on my dog Lala, if she is not allowed to tag along to house sitting bookings only.

For new clients, I ask for a list on how to best care for their pet(s), I like to utilize this list as a reference to ensure the pet(s) comfortability. As well, meeting to habitual routines a client's pet would expect me from as I temporarily fill being their caretaker. Example: treating pet(s) after they potty, treating them to 2x walks daily, be outside to sun bathe

*MANDATORY* Make a list of how I should care for your pet in a day like you do *MANDATORY* *Meet and Greet Required For New Clients* BEFORE the meet up, have a list of everything of necessities for your pet(s). AFTER the meet up, the request will be booked with confirmation if the meet up goes well. *NOTICE* Since I have my own dog. Give me a notice if I'm allowed to bring my dog Lala in your home, if not that is fine. I need to know this so I can schedule a boarding or find a sitter for her. In the case, you do allow my dog to be with me as I watch over your pet(s) I be happy for Lala to meet your pet(s) to make sure they get along!

A typical day

For fun activities with pets, I would go on a walk in your neighborhood, play fetch, provide lick mats & shuffle matter ( if approved ), or take a field trip to Coolidge Park for a nice walk ( if approved ).

Pet care experience

I’m based in Chattanooga living with my dad. I have a dog named Lala, as of now, (May 30) she's 1 year old. I use to own a Maltese, Jack Russel Mix and Pitbull that have passed away. I’ve been relied to walk, feed, bathe and “clean up” after all my dogs and other families. More than dogs, I’ve take care in assisting my mom’s cat and even briefly cared for a stray cat to eventually finding it a home.

Iyana is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. I’ve honestly lost count of how many times she’s cared for our dogs, but every single time has been a great experience. Whenever she’s available, we feel so relieved, because we know our dogs are in the best hands and we can travel with complete peace of mind.

The absolute SWEETEST. Very attentive and was super great at following their routine. She took great care of our 3 pups while we were away for the week and come home to our house in great condition. Thanks so much for loving on our pups!!
