Pet care experience

Walking, training, petting, sitting

I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve worked at numerous kennels, sat many pets, and own my own furry best friends. I was an assistant GM at a dog daycare and lead dog trainer before relocating to Virginia. Not only do I have experience with sitting pets, but also have knowledge with walking, training, introducing animals to each other, handling packs of dogs, grooming, diet, and helping you to understand dog psychology as well!

Our pup returned safe and happy after his stay with Jayara. We really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent during his stay!

Jayara was great with our dogs and our house. She was consistent with updates and great pictures of our dogs. Never did we freel nervous or worried about our pets while we were away! We'll be looking to book Jayara for future petsitting opportunites without hesitation.

Jayara was AMAZING! As a new Rover User looking for a last minute urgent sitter for my 2 Poodles, Jayara was available and ready to help. She was very easy going, knowledgeable, and accomodating due to our late arrival to pick up our boys. I HIGHLY recommend Jayara! You won’t regret it.

Here’s a polished, upbeat review featuring Jayara’s name: Amazing experience with Jayara! I had such a great experience with Jayara as my dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos that showed just how relaxed and happy my pup was in her care. It’s obvious that Jayara truly loves animals—my dog came home calm, content, and clearly well‑loved. Knowing my pup was in such capable hands gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jayara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

I’m very flexible outside of my grooming schedule, which is only a couple days a week. I do help care for my grandma as well. But have no fear, we can work out anything you might need!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge field across the street for exercising and potty needs, a super friendly small breed dog to keep your pet company, and I can crate your dog or mine if need be. I have handling-training-grooming-boarding-and sitting experience so I’m very well versed in health, behavior, and body language.

Pets

A typical day

I love walking dogs, I love to get them exposed to as much as possible on their walk so that they are physically and mentally stimulated. The absolute best way to bond with a dog is to walk with them! I also enjoy training, playing, and playing that implements training manners. Cats, I can play with any designated toys, treats, or pets if they prefer.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, or special preferences. It is also important that I know if there is any dog/human aggression, as I know how to handle pets like this as well but need a heads up to be prepared!
