Lyana has been wonderful with Aspen. You want to trust the sitter who is watching your beloved pet, and I know Aspen is so well loved and taken care of under Lyana’s care. As a sitter, she is responsive, genuine, and kind. She sends us pictures of Aspen daily, which we really appreciate. And I can see Aspen is having such a fun time with her. Thank you, Lyana, for taking care of Aspen like he is your own!
We appreciate Lyana because we know Chloe is in good hands. She always runs to her and barely looks back when we drop her off!
Lyana is very communicative and sent us lots of cute photos of our pup. My dog was returned a very happy girl!
We were a little concerned leaving our pup for an extended period for the first time but he had a great time!! Lyana was very communicative and flexible when our flight back got canceled. Hazel and kumo were excellent hosts as well and it looked like he had an absolute blast with them.

[About my pets] I have 2 dogs who love having doggy friends over! Both are great meeting new dogs since they've been growing up seeing new furry faces while I've worked with Rover. Hazel: She is a great playmate for other dogs who are also full of playful energy! She is very shy/nervous when meeting people but is great with dogs. She knows very well to not put her weight on other dogs who are fragile and has had experience being sweet and gentle to Yorkshire terrier-sized pups! She will occasionally try her best to get down on their level to engage them to play with her! Hazel is very determined to make new friends!!! Kumo: A little playful rascal, surprisingly fearless for a small pup, and very friendly with both humans and dogs. He is also very independent and can keep himself busy. Both of my pups also know when to give other dogs space when they want to be left alone after getting their greeting sniffs in!

Information Lyana S. would like to know about your pet
[My questions] Feel free to only answer the ones that apply to your pet! Any info given prior to bookings is highly appreciated. - Does your dog have any allergies? - Is your pet potty trained? (please be honest) majority of the apartment has carpet and I want to avoid accidents as best as possible! - How often does your dog need to be taken out for breaks? (ex: every 4 hours) - Are there strict rules you want me to follow while watching your dog? (ex: must sit before eating, not allowed on certain furniture) [Requirments] - All pets must be caught up with vaccination and must be flea/tick-free for the safety of me and the other pets I watch. - Notify me about any special needs they have prior to visiting (ex: separation anxiety, fear of things, medication) - I need to know if your pet is spayed/neutered in advance so that I can be extra careful while watching them. (I will not accept male and female dogs at the same time IF they are both not fixed.) - Please provide their food and any other specific things that they will need! (For emergencies I can always run out to grab the necessities) - Let me know if they have a strict diet! (I love giving dog treats for good behavior, but I understand some dogs have to avoid certain treats due to their diet or have allergies) - Try to make sure your pet does not smell strong of musk or other similar gross smells... (unless it's a health/skin issue they have then that's fine) - If your dog excessively sheds, please try to give them a brushing before their stay! (I know all dog's shed regardless, I just don't want it to rain fur after one little shake) - If your dog naturally grunts a lot when they breathe (like pugs) A meet and greet is mandatory because with past experiences I've found my dogs sometimes get nervous thinking the other dog is growing at them. - if a dog gets destructive and destroys important property of ours (specifical things like furniture or window blinds) I would like help replacing what is damaged! I will deny any booking if these requirements are not met! thank you for your understanding and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!
A typical day
[A typical day with me] As the day goes by, it will be filled with lots of fun playtime, bunches of cuddles, and affection! My schedule for your dog can be altered if your pet has one you rather have me stick to! If not my schedule normally looks like this down below. My usual dog care schedule: 8 am - get up (latest) 9 am - feed breakfast 9:30 am - bathroom break 10 am - [free time] dogs play/rest If dogs are winding down or chill I'll do basic chores, clean, or work on my art while supervising them 12-1 pm - walking time! 2 pm - [free time] dogs play/rest 4-5 pm - bathroom break 6 pm- feed dinner 8-10 pm- last potty break before bed

[My experiences] I am very reliable and patient when it comes to watching pets! Growing up I've taken care of many friends and family's pets; I have animal care experience with rodents, chickens, cats, and of course dogs. My first dog was a shelter pup back in 2011! he had overcome past trauma from his previous owner who was abusive. Helping him get past it, I know how to be cautious if your pet is newly adopted from a shelter or has personal trauma. I will be very patient with every dog no matter how shy or timid they are, and I don't mind getting dirty or slobbered on by an energetic affectionate friend. I am very precise when it comes to following rules or instructions given to me by you!
