Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve been in the dog walking field / pet care for over a decade (new to Rover app) during my time living in nyc (offering services to clients under my own co. Zen Shepherd Nyc) and now recently acquainting myself with the LA pet life since moving here recently. I work well with dogs of all ages and love to spend time with them more than humans in general. People say I tend to have a calming effect on animals, and cats are drawn to me like magnets for some reason! I live in highland park and love being in nature and exploring all the urban wildlife / parks in the area. I am also a yoga instructor, artist, astrologer, book seller and somatic therapist. I work from home most of the time so boarding / pet sitting at my place is very convenient (and fun) for me! I can’t emphasize how much I love being in the presence of animals beyond all else including most humans. They are the real energy workers on this planet.

Oya did great with Starling and was very flexible! She sent pictures regularly and brought Starling out with her to hike and go to the beach. Will definitely book again!!

Oya is consistently so thoughtful and caring for our precious fur baby Jones. She goes out of her way, paying attention to detail for care needs and more than anything is just so loving. Really trust her.

I’m happy to recommend my friend Oya as a dog walker and pet caregiver. Oya has cared for three of my dogs over the years, and I can say without hesitation that she is exceptional with animals. Pets absolutely love Oya, and it’s easy to see why — she has a gentle, calm nature that dogs respond to immediately. She’s attentive, patient, and deeply respectful of each dog’s personality and needs. I’ve always felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care, knowing they were not just safe, but genuinely happy. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Oya caring for their animals, and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Annabel

Oya truly has a gift. It’s as if she instantly understands the animals she works with, even those with anxious temperaments. My dog Betsey has a hard time with strangers, but Oya was so gentle and loving in her approach, that she immediately lowered her defenses and rolled over for belly scratches. She is calm, reliable, and intelligent, and I would trust her to care for my pets any time.
